My first two REs said not to worry about it and I didn't get pregnant for three years. My third RE said it might be the problem, I had a hysteroscopy to respect it, and I got pregnant naturally two months later. Unfortunately I lost that baby at 6 weeks, but I later had a successful IVF and an unassisted pregnancy. Both boys were breech but otherwise no problems. I genuinely think the surgery made the difference to my being able to get pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2577160 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 17:22:25 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2577160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one but it is very minor. I did have complicated pregnancies, but we don't know if that is why. One thing I do attribute to it was that I had two babies who were both breech through my entire pregnancy. Never flipped head down either time! But I had two very uneventful c-sections and have two healthy little ones. Sending lots of positive vibes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2577155 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 17:06:14 +0000 Weswife 2577155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of mine has this. She had one successful pregnancy. Her daughter just came a littler early I believe. Since she has struggled with several miscarriages. I hope everything works out for you! Lots of baby love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137428 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 00:39:13 +0000 sarac 2137428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A girlfriend of mine recently had her fourth baby with a bicornate uterus - two of them were twins. You can do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137411 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 23:17:40 +0000 lamariniere 2137411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a heart shaped uterus and I have had two successful pregnancies, no complications and no miscariages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137357 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:34:15 +0000 BandDmommy 2137357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a heart shaped uterus. It has NOT affected me getting pregnant or staying pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137351 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:24:46 +0000 nicollette1189 2137351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a unicornuate uterus which is half the size of a normal uterus. At first, I was diagnosed with a bicorunate uterus and my OBGYN was not going to treat it any differently than he would a normal pregnancy. I'm currently holding my 9 week old. :) there are support groups on yahoo groups and Facebook that I've found super helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137348 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:20:03 +0000 macintosh 2137348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a septum in my uterus. My RE discovered during a 3D ultrasound. He said it was best to remove it due to miscarriage and growth restriction risks, especially before I went through all the time and money of IVF.</p> <p>I had hysteroscopic surgery to remove the septum months before I did my IVF cycle. It was quick, no incisions (they go through the vagina into the cervix with a camera). Recovery was easy - just a little cramping and bleeding like a period. I haven't had any trouble with my pregnancy so far and I am expected to have a vaginal delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137325 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:59:56 +0000 bloved 2137325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this. I did have trouble getting pregnant, but most likely not related to that (have a host of other more likely issues). I was able to carry my son to term without problem! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137322 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:58:31 +0000 LibbyLou 2137322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: thank you! Just waiting to hear tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137318 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:54:44 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2137318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LibbyLou: my mom has this. She did have troubles during pregnancy, but not related to her uterus- she carried my sister and I successfully.<br /> Best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137040 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:31:42 +0000 MaryM 2137040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister has this and is the mother of four living children (she miscarried three times)</p> <p>She didn't have trouble conceiving until it came to her last child (she had two early MCs before she had him). </p> <p>Her pregnancies for the most part were uneventful, but her children were born early (her first was 6 weeks early. others were 2-4). But they were all healthy even though they were early. We were shocked when her first went home two days after he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137039 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:28:50 +0000 LibbyLou 2137039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: yes I read that breech was extremely common too. I can handle that! Really all I google is anymore was anecdotes, but only scary ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137029 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:25:20 +0000 birdofafeather 2137029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my good friend had this and didn't have an issue carrying her son to term, but he was breech and never turned, so she had a c-section. her doctor said this was common, but i guess that's an anecdote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/y-shaped-uterus-anyone-else#post-2137025 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:23:21 +0000 LibbyLou 2137025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had a good HSG today but discovered I have a bicornuate uterus AKA Heart shaped or Y shaped. It was my OB's partner who did the HSG and he said this shouldn't prevent me from getting pregnant but will hinder my ability to STAY pregnant. Oh good, another thing to worry about before it even happens. :bummed:<br /> Dr. Google was not my friend stating that 40% of people with BU will miscarry even into 2nd tri. That seems extremely high and now I'm freaking.<br /> My OB is calling me tomorrow to discuss but in the mean time, anyone have BU or another uterine anomaly? </p>
