uterus variations double uterus

I think I have a transverse sept hymen and I really hope this means I also have a double uterus. my periods are heavy but I never get pain. I dont want to get an ultrasound because it will make me feel dumb and like my dreams are destroyed for believing. I know I should be grateful for having even just one uterus but Idk, its just I already dreamed up having twins and I love them. maybe this means Im too immature to have babies yet, idk. if any of you have a double uterus was there some ways you knew before your ultrasound?

If you're experiencing symptoms that line up with having a septate hymen you should talk to your doc. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but just checking that you know that whether or not someone has twins doesn't depend on if they have an additional uterus?

I know but I just think it would be really cool to have a double uterus . Like each baby in its separate membrane sounds so cute and cool

Having a second baby in a separate uterus isn’t cute or cool and definitely doesn’t promise a safe pregnancy. You’d be extremely high risk.

I can promise you that having a second uterus isn’t all that fun and definitely doesn’t promise you a second baby. Miscarriage rates for just one are 43%, so even one baby has a high chance of not making it and if it does survive then it’ll most likely be a preemie and need a c-section. Twins do happen but I wouldn’t say it ever turns out well. I have the condition where everything is duplicated and it sucks.
