Have you ever imagined what your sex life might be like if you had two vaginas? Hmmm ... double the vaginas, double the pleasure, right? Not, according to 28-year-old Brit Lauren Williams, who actually had two vaginas. After getting tired of tending to her 21-day period (OMG, kill me now), she suspected something might be wrong with the lady bits and went to get it checked out. After a lot of confusion and misdiagnosis, her vagina’s double life was revealed. She had two of everything—two vags, two uteri, two cervixes. Evidently, this is a rare disorder called a “bicornuate uterus.” Lauren was shocked; she had never noticed before, nor had her doctors or boyfriends. But why would her boyfriends have said anything—each of her two vaginas was very small if you know what I’m sayin’. Lauren underwent surgery to remove the barrier between her vags, leaving her with one giant vagina. A happy ending ... I guess? I bet OctoMom is jealous.

Interesting. I’m happy for her that they were able to make things better for her, but the two-uterus thing is very interesting. I’d assume this at least would imply that she’s less likely to become infertile, unless the disorder that caused this ironically causes infertility as well.
It would be very… educational, I guess… if she were to become pregnant at different times. I wonder how it’d work if one child were full term and the other was only, say, a few months along. I’d assume she’d want to ensure she used at least one IUD all the time.

this woman had two separate vaginas? how can you have two separate vaginas and not know? i can see not knowing about two separate cervixes and uteri… but vaginas?

I honestly cannot get past the phrase “one giant vagina”.

My infertility doctor said this condition was not all that rare. And he even had one patient with three ovaries.
It’s not noticed because it is only one access point, from what I believe.

This one is too(2?)easy to take cheap shots at. I’m guessing the lady in question never had a full physical?

Wow. That’s one strange story. Oh, I hope it’s not that common of a condition—my periods are like 17 days. Haha.

@_jsw_: I wonder about that double pregnancy… Would her ovaries stop releasing eggs once the first child had been conceived? And could her body accommodate two growing fetuses?
@WhiskeyJem: roflmfao!!

It’s actually harder to get pregnant. Women with two uteri generally need the intervention of a Reproductive Endocrinologist and IVF to conceive.

There is no special, because it’s not all that rare. Most women only have two uteruses not the whole shebang.

Sometime during development we have two primiative uteruses and vaginas that fuse. Some for no reason at all, don’t quite get there. In men those structures turn into the vas deferens so theirs doesn’t fuse.

Well, in men it’s a bit of a different structure, but that’s a technicality.

@mayorbubbles; They’re both from the same access point.

@WhiskeyJenn: Me either.
@jsw: Sami Brady on Days of Our Lives once had twins by two different fathers. I wonder if she was a double-vag as well.

I had the same condition. I made the mistake of having the same surgery at 18, which caused scar tissue and nerve damage. I’m 46 now and have never enjoyed sex - too painful. I was told I would never become pregnant and if I did, would miscarry. Luckily I had 3 wonderful children (all now in their early twenties). I had no problems getting pregnant and all pregnancies were normal. Each pregnancy alternated uterus (plural spelling?) And yes, I could have become pregnant at different times (i.e. 3 months one side, 7 on the other). Thank goodness that never happened.
