Uterine Didelphys- Halving chances of pregnancy? TMI-Warning!
4 Answers
I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in Science for the best answers...
I am in my mid-twenties and have just been diagnosed with Uterine Didelphys. Having done my research, I know that every case is different for every woman diagnosed, but I have now seen a specialist. I have a longitudinal vaginal septum, a cervix either side of it and from each other those, a separate uterus (one smaller than the other). The specialist also noted that both ovaries appear normal. I have had plenty of smear tests over the years and this has never been picked up on before, as it's well hidden, apparently.
I have been assured by the specialist that this shouldn't cause any problem in become pregnant and having a successful pregnancy, but having had the information sink in a bit, it's made me wonder; surely, it's actually cut my chances of falling pregnant in the future in half? If a woman with a "normal" reproductive system ovulates from alternate ovaries each month, as I presumably would, too, mine would happen in a different womb each time and therefore make it harder for the sperm to "find".
Does that make sense? I don't know if anyone here has even heard of the condition, let alone have any experience of it, but it's something that's got me thinking and I'm not due to see the specialist again to ask him. Thank you though, if anyone can offer any advice.
