During embryonic development, the tail ends of the accessory mesonephric ducts on both sides have largely converged, and the distal septum has been absorbed, forming a cervix and a vagina. However, this is equivalent to incomplete confluence of the parts at the bottom of the uterus, resulting in one horn protruding on each side of the uterus, known as the bicornuate uterus. Patients with bicornuate uterus often experience excessive menstrual flow and prolonged periods, and may experience miscarriage, premature birth, or abnormal fetal position after pregnancy. The bicornuate uterus itself has difficulty conceiving and is prone to miscarriage. Can a woman with a double horn uterus conceive through in vitro fertilization?

Can women with bicornuate uterus conceive through in vitro fertilization?

As long as the double horn uterus meets the pregnancy conditions, it can be used as an in vitro baby.
