Life never gets dull for me...Never...I had to go back to the gynecologist yesterday for a more extensive examination, and for some bibopsy-bipobs-bibop--the bibopsies (biopsies) which I had been nervous about for the past month!! I, of course, was convinced I had cancer and was tormenting my roommie and my "brain" with the possibility...yeah! I'm melodramatic like that...That all went okay, although the procedure was highly uncomfortable, and I was in pain the remainder of the day, the good news is I don't have anything to worry about...
...but the good doctor went on to tell me that he noticed something this time that he hadn't seen last time, and he proceeded to draw diagrams of a normal cervix, a normal uterus, followed by my cervix/uterus...or *pause*...my uteri? my uteruses? I've decided that "uteri" is the plural form of uterus...
...Yes, folks, it's true...If I couldn't be any weirder, the gynecologist had to go and tell me that I have a Double Uterus...What the H is that?! Who has 2 uteruses/uteri?? I could only respond with a look of sheer horror, to which he chuckled, and tried to reassure me by telling me I wasn't a "freak of nature." And the risks I will have during pregnancy and childbirth...Yikes! Weird! That's all I can say! Well, that's not entirely true...I made up a song about them...Instead of wanting a hippopotamus for Christmas, "I only want one uterus for Christmas, only one uterus will do, not uteri, or two uteruseses...I only want ONE uteruuuusssss." lol just a little bit of my sick humor :)
So...who has heard of this before? Please don't be shy...I'm not obviously...I have a million questions forming in my mind, as I await my next appointment, but until then my friends and I decided to name them, Barats and Bereta, which ones which it doesn't really matter...or which one works it doesn't really matter...lol...The only thing I know for sure is this explains all the problems I've had with my cycle...But seriously? Two???

OMG!!! You weren't tormenting us, first of all...we love you...and we were just worried about you having cancer. I DO NOT want to have to watch my friends die of cancer...I'm sure I'll have enough of that when I am actually 85.
As for your double uterus...you know it's bad when it's a woman's health issue that I have absolutely never heard of. I feel like I'm pretty unshockable...Congrats, Kris! Just when I thought I had heard it all....
That's why we are so great together; you're everything I'm not. I'm not shockable, yet you are shocking. I'm Ross, You're Rachel. I'm Jacob, you're Bella...
Hmmm. I don't like always being the dude.
I am now dazzling, and being dazzled.
ok.. so I am reading this at work, right? and I literally started laughing so hard out loud about you naming your uteri Barats and Bereta and then me, singing the theme song in my head picturing your uteri.... good thing my desk is far away from everyone elses......
What a wonderful introduction to your blog. :) (I found yours through Pam's of course.) As a nurse, I can reassure you that you are not a freak of nature and I have heard of this before. It may amuse you to know that some women with 2 uteri (good choice of words) also have double other things - let's not be shy - vaginas.
I like your sense of humor, Kristy. :) I can find out more about this from my nurse friends who have worked labor and delivery if you're interested.
I knew it!!!I said, You might have two vagina's!!! Oh my gosh, that is so great...
this is why I call you the salt and pepper to my life! you are soo funny!
Well Kris, the weirdness passed on from our family just keeps getting worse. See why I chose adoption? Let's not pass any more of these little "interesting" genetics on, shall we? ;)
