Just curious, how did everyone first find out about their condition? For me, I always knew the septum was there, I just didn't really question it or even know it was a septum for that matter. I honestly thought I just had the run-of-the-mill vagina. I've been to 4 different gynecologists that always stated "looks normal" at the end of the examination. I didn't bring it into question until my current boyfriend (the second guy I was sexually active with) pointed it out. I just thought it was funny (and slightly concerning) that it went unnoticed by several different medical professionals. | |

I was first told that I have UD about a year ago (winter 2012). I originally went into the doctor to try to get diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) because I had (and still have) some of the symptoms and a previous doctor told me that he thought I might have it. They eventually did an ultrasound of my uterus and ovaries. When the results came back, I was never told if my ovaries are polycystic, but I was told that I have UD. Before I knew, I also had a couple different docs do normal exams and never mentioned that anything looked different. | |

Member Posts: 3 | I had regular pap smears, it went undetected, they just told me my uterus was small. When I found out I was pregnant with my son, they did a more thorough exam, and thats when it was discovered, at age 24. | |

Hi, Angela K. I am 30-years old and I found out about it 3-4 years ago, I had spotting before and after my period. It was also my first time to visit the OB. When I was younger - I thought that I just had a heavy flow and that the menstrual cramps really do hurt like hell. There are times that I couldn't get up and go to school/work..well, normally, in school - they teach us that it's just one uterus and one cervix. No one really talks about UD and other unique reproductive cases. I am quite happy to know that there are other women who are just like me. | |

Member Posts: 2 | Since I began getting smear tests at the age of 20, I have had minor changes and in my latest one they came back "abnormal". I got a hospital appointment with a gynaecologist for a colposcopy. Doctors have always had trouble finding my cervix for smear tests but this time she couldn't find it at all but said she could feel a division in the middle which is sometimes linked to having two cervixes. She sent me for a scan where it was confirmed I have double uterus. | |
