Bicornate uterus, potential molar pregnancy

Hi all. I went for a scan at the EPAU today due to spotting last night. I had had a very stressful day and was in the hospital already with a family member so went to A&E last night thinking it was likely down to stress. I should have been 7w2d

I went for the scan, no one seemed that concerned until she started the TV scan. The sonographer identified a bicornuate (heart shaped) uterus and 2 empty sacs (only one was round) and cystic looking tissue in one half of the uterus. No yolk sac or foetus
I have to go to my own hospital for beta tomorrow, the consultant said that this is either a molar or missed miscarriage and the likelihood of positive outcome is very low
ive since read that uterine deformity can make it more likely to miscarry, though it’s not likely to be the cause this time. I’m devastated, I’m 31, and my husband and I have been trying for over a year. We had been referred to fertility clinic then got pregnant. I’m overweight but metabolically very healthy and active. Regular cycles

i was also referred to gynae after a tv scan before getting pregnant and they said my uterus was retroverted but didn’t mention the shape
has anyone had a successful pregnancy with this kind of defect? Is there extra care
im also aware that if this is molar I likely can’t TTC for at least 6 months.
I am sad and scared. All I’ve ever wanted is a baby.

I'm so sorry to read your story @Lemoncake199111 miscarriage is devastating, never mind after trying for a year and then getting this news.

I had a heart shaped uterus and the treatment for this is very straightforward- a simple resection under GA. I was pregnant 3 months later (following 3 miscarriages in a row before I found out about the structural issue with my uterus). That baby is now 18 months old.

I'm telling you my story to reassure you that this does not mean that you can't have a successful pregnancy. Your age is in your favour, too.

Take some time to heal from this, have the fertility checks to rule out any blood clotting issues, thyroid issues etc then investigate resection. Xxx
