T shaped uterus??

in Trouble TTC
Ok ladies. I am so sorry to post yet another discussion, but my results from my HSG are confusing.
The HSG itself was ok. They had to dilate my cervix but the procedure didn't hurt as bad as I was thinking. However, the amount of blood was a complete shock!! Wow (sorry if that was TMI). After the procedure the doctor showed me the x-rays and went over the results which leads me to why I am posting.
My tubes were very open. He said he hasn't seen anyone have the contrast spill that quickly. But he said that I have a T shaped uterus. He said that it is not typically a problem with getting pregnant but rather stay pregnant. T shaped uterus typically cause early miscarriage. He said that T shaped uterus typically have very thin lining (which has been an issue) which causes the chance of miscarriage. He said that he wanted to try estrogen for longer this cycle and if it doesn't improve my lining consider surgery to repair it.
The plan for now is 5 days of Femera 2.5 starting tonight and then starting Estradoil vaginally once I stop the Femera until?? I guess we will determine at monitoring. My first monitoring will be on 12/26. He said that at that monitoring appt we will be doing a 3-d ultrasound as well.
My questions are about the T shaped uterus. Does anyone know what causes them? I searched online and could only find a cause from people talking DES which was banned in the 70s.
Anyone know what type of surgery they would be preforming? Outcomes?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Again I am sorry for posting yet another question, but it seems like my diagnosis just keeps getting more and more complicated.

    Sorry you're dealing with this as well.  I've also been told I have a T-shaped ute but according to multiple doctors it's not something to really worry about.  Now I'm starting to second guess that opinion so I'm interested to see the responses as well.

    @dominicandreamer‌ my RE didn't seem overly concerned as long as my lining increases instead of staying thin like it has. It's good to know you have it as well and that your drs aren't too concerned!

    sorry to hear about this news. I hope the estrace helps get your lining to where it should be.

    Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).

    We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).

    I'm so, so sorry!

    I'm glad the RE said it's an issue of the lining, not the shape, so if he can get that doing what it needs to, then no worries, right? 

    It's just so frustrating to see you having to face yet another setback after all you have been through. I hope the lining thickens up easily with estradiol.

    @iPutKetchupOnKetchup‌ thank you for the reply and concern! I completely agree I will not be doing any surgery anytime soon. My doctor said that the surgery would be a very last case scenario and he didn't even want to explain it all to me because he really doesn't think it will be necessary. He told me we will discuss everything in much more detail on the 26th when I go for monitoring and a 3d ultrasound.

    I did speak with my mom about the DES. She said she did not take it. She was on tons of fertility meds to get pregnant with me but not DES. I have had numerous MRI's done checking my kidneys (cancer can essentially cause them to die) and I have both kidneys and they are working great.

    Thank you for telling me to not read too much into what the Internet says about all this as I was beginning to freak out about the numbers.

    @BunnyBerry‌ from what I understood from the doctor as long as we can get the lining thicker he isn't remotely concerned about the shape. If we do numerous things and can't get the lining thicker he mentioned some type of surgery but did not elaborate at all as "he didn't want to concern me when he doubted I would need it".

    Thank you for all the support and help ladies. I have definitely come to terms with the fact that my body is complicated. I knew getting pregnant wouldn't be easy. But my DH and I are willing to do whatever we need to in order to have a baby. It seems like we have uncovered everything that could be an issue and now I know my doctors will come up with the best protocol for us :)

    I also have this problem, I found this link which I found encouraging.

    https://www.hellobee.com/2012/01/02/a-t-shaped-uterus/

    It's this blog from a girl and she shows her scans too. Gives the full picture of what it looks like (hers anyway). She updated it a few times including a happy ending.

    @CML11‌ thank you for the link to the blog! Her test images looks very similar to mine! It's great to see that she was able to have a baby of her own naturally!
