We had 2 goes with frozen eggs and they didn't take. I then was told I had a t-shaped uterus so I had corrective surgery and had a clean out. Our last egg took but got to 7 weeks and miscarriaged. I at that stage had almost given up and my body had gone through enough. And just when we thought about giving it another go, we found out we were pregnant and its natural. So I somehow feel that maybe having the surgery may of had something to do with it. I'm 20 weeks and will have to have a c-section due to scarring on my uterus, but really don't care how I have it as long as its a healthy baby :)<br /> good luck everyoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-6838172290497306392012-06-04T01:58:41.788-04:002012-06-04T01:58:41.788-04:00I randomly landed on your page after googling abou...I randomly landed on your page after googling about t-shaped uterus. honestly, you are reassuring me. <br /><br />just like you, i did an HSG and the radiologist told me i have a t-shaped uterus, but it shouldn't cause a problem with pregnancy. however, when i googgled it up, everything turned on the dark side knowing my chances to be pregnant is so slight!<br /><br />i just knew the good new that im now pregnant of 8 weeks, and the dr have been telling me the high risk of miscarriages. im pretty worried, but happy to hear that we could still have successful pregnancies. thank you!Tinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-77061600419315166702011-09-26T08:09:33.336-04:002011-09-26T08:09:33.336-04:00Hi Megan, thanks a million for your posts!!

Went in to ivf, only had 2 transfers and 7!!! Cancelled transfers as my lining wasn't thick enough!! After months and months of hormones, I tried acupuncture and chines herbs ( normally I would have little faith in "hocus locus" remedies, but I have fallen pregnant naturally and us horrified about the comments about being able to carry full term with a t shape uterus!! I'm at week 7 and had a confirmed heartbeat today, fingers crossed!!

I went in for the preliminary testing (HSG SO not fun!) as did my husband. We had our follow up appointment today the RE said there might be a slight T shape but not really worried at this point - going to start clomed next cycle adnd all she said was if there were multuple eggs that she would suggest not to try because of the T shape - the whole thing is just blowing my mind and making me really anxious because no one in my immediate life is going through this so there is no one to really talk to - having this blog post made me feel somewhat better so thank you for putting it out there!Mommy Shoe Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596492825067302707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-11238064017984349932011-07-25T00:32:53.592-04:002011-07-25T00:32:53.592-04:00HI Megan

My doctor seemed confident that my uterus would stretch enough for the pregnancy on its own (which it did.) I got pregnant with a viable pregnancy around 6 months after starting the folic acid. 5 months after starting it, I got pregnant but had a miscarriage. The following month was when I got pregnant with my daughter. I took the folic acid and prenatal vitamins during the months trying to conceive and all during the pregnancy. If your doctor does not think your uterus will stretch out enough for a pregnancy/is a shape that won't work out and they recommend surgery for sure then I would consider it (along with your vitamins!). I wish you all the luck in the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16931708644621510904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-46148203323515537472011-03-01T11:31:12.810-05:002011-03-01T11:31:12.810-05:00Hi Megan,

Finally, my MTHFR test came out positive and my MRI confirm I have Bicornuate Uterus. My doctor thinks he is still not sure what my MRI report says. The report says that my uterus is bicornuate and can't be corrected. But he showed me the pics and said he can still correct it by surgery.At this point he is not assuring but he says we might have to go for surgery. Also he put me on a medicine for additional folic acid, B12 vitiamins. <br />I am now hesitant about the decision I have to take. Shall I enrich my body for 3 months with the folic acid and vitamins and try one more time or shall I go ahead and take a chance on surgery. Can anybody help me on this please ?Surya Achantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866625254078365973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-76713304398958936152011-01-24T21:22:07.859-05:002011-01-24T21:22:07.859-05:00megan--first, hello.

I completely understand. For me, my blood tests found that have 2 mutations of the MTHFR C677T chromosome which causes an inability to properly absorb folic acid. My specialist said that THIS was the real reason the miscarriages were likely happening. She said it was unlikely the uterine shape was causing the losses, but she DID admit that it didn't help matters. I think a fertilized egg is looking for a blood-rich spot to nest in, and I tend to wonder if an abnormal shape confuses things. My first pregnancy was ectopic, but in the uterus still...so it still implanted anyway. In my case, taking a prescription folic acid in addition to regular prenatal vitamins for several months was the advice I was given. I wish we knew more! Unfortunately, I've known people who've had more than 10 miscarriages before finally conceiving and carrying to term and I've known people who've only had a few losses before it finally happened. I've had 4 losses, and I hate to sound negative but I am assuming I'll have more as I try to have our next child in the future. I'm hoping that's not the case of course! I have to keep reminding myself that nature knows best and all I can do is get my body as healthy and vitamin-rich as I can. That's the advice I would give to anyone else too. Discuss your fears with the specialist and tell them you need them to reassure you as best as they can by giving you stats and facts. Don't give up hope!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16931708644621510904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-43886978435787354982011-01-10T19:34:49.118-05:002011-01-10T19:34:49.118-05:00Hi

My doctor said she will refer me to specialist after receving all my blood tests. With so little information, I want to know whether T-shape affect the implantation as all my m/c happened in the first 6 weeks of pregnancy. What should i do ? How should I proceed ? What are the things I look for and ask for when I go to specialist. I am so sad and am so anxious to have a baby. Any info would be greatly appreciated. <br />Thanks.<br />PKUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874385532671262696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372531146997990912.post-5164006617320336942010-11-08T15:41:34.415-05:002010-11-08T15:41:34.415-05:00Megan, I too share your name and the same T-shape ...Megan, I too share your name and the same T-shape (and my mother never took DES). Hopefully I will share the same outcome. I am 39 and trying to concieve for the first time (not unlike you Ali). We decided to go strait to IVF (we just got married in July) so as not to waste any time. We start it on the 17th and my Doctor who is the best in this area (and painfully honest) simply said that all that means is there is a possibility for pre-term labor and by having this test done he now knows where to place the embryo's (right in the middle).<br />Thank you for posting this!<br />Megan<br />BTW, I think everyone should stop referring to it as an "anomoly" or "diagnosis."

I was told from the doctor who performed my HSG that it was a T-shaped uterus and I saw the x-ray and it looked just like yours. But my OB just thinks it was the angle of the x-rays (they were having problems with the equipment) and was not concerned. So I still have a whole lot of uncertainty. I made the mistake of looking on the internet for more info too. Such a bad idea. I am currently trying again and was worried about it and thats when I found your post. I feel so much better.
