What on earth is an arcuate uterus?

Had second scan today and there is an improvement on the response from the last cycle so things are looking up. Still not great but there are 5 follicles around 15mm and 4 hovering around the 10mm mark which hopefully should catch up. Im only on day 5 of stimms so I have a bit left to go.

I was also told that I have an arcuate uterus. Yep, I had no idea either. The top part apparently dips down a bit and depending on the degree of dip into the uterus can cause fertility problems. I was told by my ever so communicative consultant that mine was "a variant of normal and so it is not a significant issue". However, he only told me that after rabbiting on about an operation and the uterus not forming properly, various measurements etc etc. I dont think he had any idea how worried he was making me!


I have a spa day booked tomorrow with a friend and am looking forward to that. Perfect timing to have something relaxing to look forward to.
