Hello! I'm 26 y/o and TTC #1. I have a bicornuate uterus. They discovered it via MRI when I was 16. My Husband and I have been TTC since October 2012. He is 28. We've been married for almost 9 years and together for 11. I used the pill for 13 years to regulate my cycle.

Hi Myluckyduck,

Thanks for the reply. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this ttc #1 journey. It can be hard having a odd shaped uterus. Other than that everything else seems to be fine. I have read that having a septate uterus is not the cause for infertility but for early miscarriages because of the embryo trying to implant on the septate where there is no blood supply. However the fact that I have yet to conceive after all these years not even once makes me wonder. Where are you at in your cycle?

My AF is due to arrive between Sunday and Tuesday. My cycles average 36 days, but have been as long as 38 days.

When do you plan on testing? Sending you lots of

Probably Wednesday, just to be sure. Don't wanna waste tests! <3

I have a bicornet uterus. I have a daughter and am pregnant with number two. It took over a year to get pregnant with number two. First one only took a month. My daughter was born 3 Weeks early healthy! my friend has a septum and has 2 girls. There is always hope! they told me I wouldn't be able to carry a baby because both uterus are the size of one normal but they were wrong.

Emma,

Thanks for your encouragement. Your stories give me hope. Congratulations on #2. H&H pregnancy to you.

My bicornuate uterus isn't a complete separation. So, that def. gives me hope. AF is a no show today. I'm still holding off on testing until Wednesday. I really like FRER's but don't like to waste them either.

@myluckyduck ~ Yay for no AF yet. So far so good. You have discipline with not early testing. I tested this morning with FMU and got a BFN. I know that it's too early though to test. I use the dollar tree tests b/c they are cheaper. My period is due Fri. So I still have a 5 days to go. I will test on Thurs which is Leap Year. Wouldn't that be something to get a positive on Leap year? I would LOVE it. I didn't know you could have a complete separation with a bicornuate uterus? I thought only septate uteruses have that?

There is just different degrees of separation,l I guess. Mine lookis normal from the outside, however, on the inside it looks heart-shaped. (Like if you were to draw a heart <3) Still no period. Thinking of testing tomorrow AM.
