Hi ladies this is my first post. My condolences to everyone who has experienced a loss, it's devastating. I had a miscarriage in 12/15 and after grieving the loss of my angel baby, we finally decided to try again in August. I was told I had an arcuate uterus, it's shaped like a heart. It wasn't the cause of my miscarriage but I'm concerned that if and when I get pregnant, I won't be able to carry to term due to lack of room. We've been TTC for several months, using ovulation tests too but it's just not happening. I have Faith that God will bless us with a baby but I'm 34 and feel stuck. I have some questions for you ladies. How long did it take for your cycles to get back on track after miscarriage, does anyone else have a malformed uterus and if so has it effected your pregnancy, and finally when do you think it's time to consider infertility treatments? Thank you ladies. Prayers to everyone TTC ❤
Re: TTC with Malformed Uterus
i have a friend that also has a heart shaped uterus and was having problems getting pregnant. Had some sort of procedure done on it. Sorry I can't remember what it was. That was early summer and she got pregnant in December due in August.
Personlly regarding my own ttc journey I know I dont want to pursue medical treatment until 12 months and I'm 36. I have however had some basic fertility tests for peace of mind.
Regarding cycles, it really depends. Personally, after my early CP, my ovulation patterns went back to normal right away and I O'd about 10 days after. Since then I have had a very predictable cycle length and O pattern for 3 cycles. However, my periods shortened dramatically after the CP. It went from 4-5 days down to 1.5 days of spotting. I am on CD 1 of the 4th cycle and it seems different, but not sure yet.
I do not know about the malformed uterus, but hopefully others on this board can provide some insights.
