Hi my name is sarah i am almost 21 years old and live with my SO!

I need some advice. I have just recently had a D&C, had a big ovarian cyst taken out, and hestereoscopy. They found i have a Bicornuate Uterus.

My gynie said it is quite severely heart shaped but NOT Septate/Septum uterus. He said he wont touch anything as it can make things worse.

As i am only 20 atm i dont want to have babies just yet, but unfortunately i am getting myself worked up as he said it will take 3 years or more to conceive and bring the baby to full term with a number of miscarriages "worst case scenario"

My SO has been fantastic we plan are planning to start a 'married life together' only in 2005 as i am not ready just yet. He is 27 and still not ready either.

my question is... when must we start trying to concieve, I heard the younger you are the

easier it is? even my gynie said to both of us if you want kids in the near future ( 2/3 years start now!)

I have no idea what to do, i have been on Yasmin for a year now Should i stop taking the pill and go natural for a while? or wait until we are married.

my SO wont have a bar of it, we are in a bit of debt so he wont think about anything until we are debt free and are in a situation with money where we can secure a future for ourselves and our child.

I am scared if i wait i will miss the oportunity?? and it will be too late?

please can anyone who has a bicornuate uterus or knows about it let me know what i can do

?? i really dont want to have miscarriages. I am so scared? I dont want to put my body through all that trauma it has been through enough (i have had so many problems, with growths in my bowel,stomach and uterus before)

but i am willing to do anything to carry my own child? am i contradicting myself?

Please any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Sarah!!!

Hi Sarah,

I'm so sorry you are struggling with this. I don't have any experience with it but wanted to to just send you some well wishes. You are only twenty years old so you don't have to rush to get Pg, even though your Dr said it may take a couple of years. IF you are not ready right now then wait a year or two then start trying. As far as ease of conceiving, you'll still be young enough. Charting your cycle and knowing when you ovulate will help you know when is the best time to try and get PG when you're ready.

I hope you can get some answers and can put your mind at ease a bit. Good luck.
