Question 1

hi, i have a bicornuate uterus & already had 1 sucessful pregnancy but if i wanted another baby what would the success rate be?

Accepted Answer

Very high: A bicornuate womb is heart-shaped. Women with a bicornuate womb have no extra difficulties with conception or in early pregnancy, but there is a slightly higher risk of miscarriage and preterm birth. It can also affect the way the baby lies in later pregnancy so a caesarean birth might be recommended. If you have already had one successful pregnancy, there is a very high chance of success again

Likely periods: This is likely periods because if you were pregnant, periods would be suppressed for a while even if unfortunately you miscarried. It would reset your period dates.

Question 4

Do a pregnancy test: There is no need to guess when there are accurate and sensitive tests readily available.  Your risk of bleeding early in pregnancy is increased with a bicornuate uterus.

Question 5

what's the chances of having a healthy pregnancy with a bicornuate uterus, pcos and had a unilateral salphingeo opherectomy but have regular periods??

Accepted Answer

Always a chance: There is always a chance that pregnancy can occur if the bicornuate uterus has no septum and the cavity is large enough to allow for implantation and maintenance of the developing pregnancy. As long as there is one good ovary and Fallopian tube "natural" conception is possible as noted by your regular periods.  IF not, IVF(in vitro fertilization) may be considered.

Question 6

told i have a bicornuate uterus at my 11w2d ultrasound, but dr didn't want to discuss until my 18w u/s.  should i decrease my 50min 5x/wk lap swims?

Accepted Answer

No need to change: If your physician has cleared you for moderate physical activity, you should be fine. Your bicornuate uterus should not place you at increased risk of pregnancy loss in your first trimester, but be sure to notify your physician if you note any changes.

Question 7

can any other woman have a bicornuate uterus?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Although not common, many women can have this.

Question 8

docs can you explain what is a bicornuate uterus and its cons?

Accepted Answer

Bicornuate uterus: During development the uterus starts as two horns that come together and eventually form one cavity.  If this doesn't happen completely you can have a bicornuate uterus.  Many women have no issues with this, but it can increase miscarriage rates and if one horn is small (rudimentary), it can increase pregnancy complications as well.

Question 9

can a bicornuate uterus cause abnormal period?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Periods can be irregular.

Question 10

is there an association between infertility and a bicornuate uterus?

Accepted Answer

Not really: A bicornuate uterus can increase your risk for preterm delivery, but is usually not associated with infertility.  The problem is that this is often misdiagnosed and confused with a septate uterus which can increase the risk for miscarriage.  It is important to see a specialist - a board certified or eligible reproductive endocrinologist to confirm the diagnosis.
