*cornual pregnancy: maybe you are wondering what that is. It seems I ovulated out of one side and the embryo traveled across the top of my uterus and implanted at the opening of my other tube. We are talking rare. My RE wanted to record it. The nurse had never heard of it. For pete's sake, even gravity is not on my side! We were told we would have to make the decision to terminate the pregnancy or risk the embryo growing down my tube and erupting, which they said could cause death. Yeah. This is the kind of luck I have. Fortunately Mother Nature decided to terminate the birth so we did not have to make that decision.
