Is twin pregnancy possible in a bicornuate uterus?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 03/06/2024

It would be possible for two embryos to be implanted in a bicornuate uterus, that is, each one in a uterine cavity. However, this could result in a high-risk pregnancy, with a high risk of miscarriage and premature delivery.

In the case of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, it is not advisable to transfer two embryos if the woman has a uterine malformation with these characteristics.
