Bicornuate Uterus / Heart Shaped Womb

[Pas4]

I’m 30 this year and have no children, been with my partner for nearly 13 years.
I found out I have a bicornuate uterus about 6 years ago and it’s been an issue for me since, Since I found out it was more important to me to try and have children a bit earlier than I had really ever thought I would but my partner was never ready and he still isn’t ready, to be honest I don’t think he ever will be. I worry more and more each year I get older that it’s never going to happen and since I’ve found out I have it I have researched more and more about pregnancy and age so I know it’s more difficult and risky from 30 plus sad I know that my womb is split right down the middle because I know they were initially concerned I had 2, but it’s been confirmed that there is only 1 but it practically in 2 halves. So what I would like to know is if there is anyone who is the same as me and have you had any children successfully? Have you suffered many miscarriages? Did you have any over 30? Any other advice you can share would be lovely.
I’m really at a loss with it all and I even find it hard to think about and read about now because I feel like it’s going into a panic attack and I can’t function sad

Thank you

Hi lovely, sorry to hear this is being an issue for you. Have you started trying yet? If not, try not to panic yourself, worry can certainly hinder success, I've been there. I have a heart shaped uterus but not split right down the middle.
Fell pregnant at 29, first try (41 weeks). Second at 32, 14 cycle (41+1). Third age 35 was a miscarriage and fourth pregnancy, age 35, 2nd cycle (22+3 so far). Once you fall pregnant you should be consultant lead who will identify which horn you implant in and check growth and room available to bubba. It may mean that as you may run out of room for bubba and there is a chance they have to come out a little earlier than planned, or you could go full term.
I know there are others on here who have Bicornuate uterus, hopefully they can help further. Sending love. X

Hi,
I have a bicornuate uterus (also split right the way down the middle, also initially diagnosed as two seperate wombs).
I had an early miscarriage which they don't believe is linked and am currently full term and ready to give birth any day now.
We conceived easily both times.
I was heartbroken when I got my 'diagnoses' because I googled and just found horror stories but actually, this pregnancy has been easy and drama free. I haven't had any issues at all but I have been consultant led which is a nice reassurance.
There's not many happy stories online but I think that's because people by nature are more inclined to share things when they're struggling. I hope this can offer you some reassurance that it is possible to conceive and have a normal, healthy pregnancy.
If you want to message me or anything, feel free

Thank you both so much for replying to my thread, partner always says he’s not ready so I’ve always had the implant or pill, I spent the last 4 months with not using any protection and didn’t fall pregnant (unknown by partner :( please don’t judge) I know it’s wrong. I panic every week that I’m just getting too old and soon will be too late to try ontop of having a dodgy womb!
When I was diagnosed I wasn’t helped in anyway, all they said was I have a high risk of miscarriage and very little chance of carrying full term and to come back once I’m pregnant so I too just found tons of horror stories. I’m grateful for your help and I’m so glad you have managed to have babies

Here to support not to judge. I found that they always give the worst case scenario so that we are fully aware of our situation, it doesn't necessarily mean it will come to that. I was told with this pregnancy that it had not implanted in either horn, it had implanted in the centre between the two. The sonographer said he had never seen this before and suspected the pregnancy may not be viable and that only time would tell....thankfully 22+3 weeks later....definitely viable. Best of luck X

Thank you! Really appreciate you words. Wish you all the best luck too xx

Hi All,

I know this is old but I’m hoping someone can help ease my mind a bit. I’m almost 7 weeks pregnant and went to early pregnancy unit earlier this week for scan as I had cramps and bleeding. I found out only then from scan that I have a bicornaute womb. The lady scanning me said the sack is high up in the fundus. I have to go back next Monday for second opinion. I left very confused not knowing what to expect now. My bleeding is worse and pains are bad too. Is this normal for women with heart shaped womb? The babies heart beat was fine I’m just concerned on the bleeding and it’s torture waiting to find out more next week.
