Anyone else have uterus didelphis ?

That is rare. Ive worked in an ob clinic for seven years and never seen it but have heard of it. I know the medical study my doctor told me about was that they removed one uterus/cervix so that when the woman did become pregnant the hormones were released to the proper uterus etc. Is that an option for you, have they discussed this? It's good your being referred, most of the time (approx 90%) the problem will be fixed and women go on to have healthy babies. Good luck him let me know!

 

So sorry for your losses hun You are a brave lady who is deserving of some happiness now. I don't have experience of your condition, but just wanted to wish you luck on your journey to become a Mom. Take care xxx

 

I have this and I've recently found out I'm pregnant. I'm going to make a doctors apt to discuss it. I was referred to a specialist when it was first discovered and she said that yes there was a higher risk of miscarriage but only slight and can occur later on in the pregnancy due to an incompetent cervix. I've read up on UD and of all of the uterine anomalies, women with UD have a better chance of a successful pregnancy because although everything is duplicated the uterus itself is structurally sound. Hope this info helps, nice to hear I'm not the only one with this.

 

I just found out I have a unicornuate uterus and I have 2 little girls. The second pregnancy was very problematic but we made it through... I asked my doc about future pregnancies and he wasn't too concerned. Stay positive.
I hope things will work out for you.

 

I too have UD. I found out last year having an ultrasound due to kidney pain... found out I only have my left kidney. After doing some research I requested a pelvic ultrasound and they discover the double uterus, and confirmed it with a MRI which also saw a double cervix, which is hidden from a physical exam.
I went to see a doctor in Brigham Women’s Hospital in Boston, but they were unable to do some tests on me due to the muddled anatomy past my one visible cervix. Right now I am in a “wait and see what happens” stage and only last month coming off birth control to try and get in tune with my body so when I try and get pregnant I’ll know optimal times etc. I am charting my BBP and with that you can see when you ovulate and also count your luteal phase so see if there might be a problem with miscarriage. I read on here that taking vitamin B6 and B12 are good with low progesterone: https://www.babyandbump.com/ttc-gro...gthen-luteal-phase-increase-progesterone.html Hope that can help!
There is a group on Facebook for UD that is interesting.

 

I have a BU, but when reading this came up sometimes too. It sounds like miscarriages commonly occur with either condition because the fetal pole/placenta attaches to the uterine wall and the abnormal uterine wall may not be capable of holding a placenta. The blood flow isnt always intact and the tissue may not be strong enough to hold a placenta. It may have alot to do with where your previous pregnancies were implanted, and maybe not hormonal. But definately worth looking into your hormone levels!

I had a patient in nursing school that had this. She had just had her 2nd pregnancy when I was taking care of her, about 2 years apart, and each pregnancy in a different side! She had 2 cervix and did not have to have a c-section with either, which can be common as well. I hope they are able to find some answers for you!

 

The specialist I was seeing said that kidney problems are very common with this as they all develop at the same time. Just curious any ear problems? The external ears form at this time too. I have an extra kidney ureter they found and attributed to all of this.

I thought first and second tri miscarriages were a risk but I guess not. I hope that you don't have anything else major going on and you get some fast blood results, 6-8 weeks would kill me! Keep us posted and good luck!

 

Hey! How r u???

 

Hi - I also have a double womb, sadly i've had a few mcs but also have a little boy who is 2 and i'm currently pregnant again (in the opposite womb from having my son)!! xx

 

Hi, I also have DU. Fertility clinic diagnosed me originally with Bicornuate Uterus and my OB found they were mistaken and that I actually have BU.
I am carrying my first baby in the right side which is the bigger of the two. So far so good and I am almost 28weeks.
The only "thing" that has happened I found out this past Tues at my OB and I also have U/S each visit...
I have decreased blood flow to the placenta, so I am now off work until I give birth. My OB said she isn't convince this has anything to do with the DU. Anyone could have this.
So I am on restricted activities..which means lots of laying/sitting on the couch.
Its nice to see this post and have other that have the same thing that I have....
Hugz to you all

And another one in Florida just had twins!

Yes, I too have a didelphis uterus. My right side was blocked which caused me to have endometriosis. Before I had my first child, I had the vaginal septum removed. My first pregnancy was normal until delivery. After my first delivery, I had to have a blood transfusion. My second pregnancy was normal and the baby came three weeks early. Delivery was normal. My third pregnancy was a tubal pregnancy that burst and I had to have emergency surgery. My tubes are now tied. I have very bad cramps.

 

I was told I have a BU. Diagnosed during pregnancy. From what I have researched, the uterus forms with two cavities that join together. There is a middle part of tissue that disolves in a normal uterus and opens into one cavity. With cases like these the extra tissue does not dissolve for whatever reason. in your case the middle part of your septum could have dissolved while the rest remained. It is hard to diagnose and an MRI is supposed to be the most accurate. There are so many different degrees of all the uterine anomalies that there really is no cut and dry diagnosis in some cases. The kidneys are also formed at the same time as the uterus so kidney abnormalities are common as well. I have two tubes from my kidney to my bladder on one side.

I was told at 12 weeks I had a large cyst growing pushing on the placenta. After seeing a specialist I was told it was the right horn of my uterus filling with fluid. The septum had blocked it from filling on my 7 week. My placenta grew on the middle septum and was a very large placenta I was told during my c-section. We saw a specialist 3 times in addition to regular scans to monitor for growth restriction and placental growth. LO was also transverse until about 34 weeks then breech. LO was a healthy 39 week scheduled section. The doc and the nurses were all intrigued by the placenta and uterus since it isnt an every day occurence.

I would be sure that surgery is absolutely necessary. Although you had a m/c it may or may not have anything to do with this diagnosis. Most women with these anomolies, depending on the degree, have c-sections anyhow. So if you can sustain a normal pregnancy you will have to have surgery to either correct the anomoly or deliver a baby. I was told I can have surgery to correct this but I really dont see the point unless recurrent m/c become an issue, but every case is different.

 

I asked my doc about future pregnancies and he wasn't too concerned. Stay positive.
