Cornual pregnancy - any chance for good outcome?

[lesiaTX]

I am 33 y.old. We were trying to get pregnant for 3 years. Finally I went to see a fertility doctor in October 2004. Before starting an ovulation induction we did a pregnancy test and it was positive. However, it turned to be an ectopic in my right tube. But we caught it in time, so laparoscopy was done and my right tube was repaired. A few months later we did HSG which showed that my right tube is fine. In February I went for ovulation induction with gonadotropins and got pregnant. Hormones are rising fine, but ultrasound on the 5th week gestational showed right cornual pregnancy. Now I am going to ultrasound every week (I am 6 weeks gestational). My doctor tells me that I still have a good chance to have this pregnancy as successful, but there is a chance of life-threatening uterine rupture.  When I am trying to read about corneal pregnancy, all I can find is info on ruptured uterine wall or laparoscopy about removing it. Did anybody have a positive outcome of corneal pregnancy?

I know this is an old post, but this is my share:

Hi all. I went in for a 7 weeks 2 days scan and the ultrasound showed a baby with heartbeat 130+. However, they said it was eccentrically placed near the cornua--was in the same location as my last pregnancy that never developed beyond a yolk sac and ended in miscarriage. They were concerned it would be cornual or grow into the tube (apparently very hard to determine for sure at this point). The sac was near the upper right side of my uterus and near the cornua. I went back a week later at 8 weeks 2 days and they said the sac had grown into the uterus instead of into the tube, so they think it is growing the right direction (heartbeat also 170+ and baby measuring correct for dates), but will check again in 2 weeks. They also mentioned that perhaps I had a heartshaped uterus and didn't know it because I had never been scanned while not pregnant (apparently scans of uterus shape while pregnant or right after pregnancy aren't accurate as to uterus shape, according to them). The one thing they did mention is that there is less blood flow up near the upper right hand corner near the tube and that that can sometimes cause problems. This is actually what they said to me about my prior pregnancy, too, which they thought maybe didn't develop in the same place due to the lower blood flow. But, they said sometimes it works out in that location and sometimes it doesn't. Keeping fingers crossed.

Wow! I believe I will be the oldest survivor of this plague yet.  I am 42 years with no Bio's as a result of a ruptured Right Cornual Pregnancy in 1992. My GYN was also my OB, so when I came in with bleeding, I was sent home because he thought it was hereditary because my mom continued menstruating throughout her entire pregnancy.  While in the midst of an ultrasound administered by a catheter, The tech left me hooked up turning her head all the way around, and calling in a more seasoned tech to help her interpret the findings. While I laid there in pain & horror, my doctor was being paged over the PA to the OR and I was being ordered to be transported to "ADMITTING!" What this tech was not saying, was that something was definitely wrong. And although still considered an "Ectopic" situation, I'm lead to believe that this was the tech's first time witnessing a patient who embryo has actually passed fully through the Fallopian tubes but was dangling about the endometrium cavity against time that was too late, and at this point 12 weeks in, it was either him or me and if more time passed, it was going to be BOTH. Keeping in mind the several days I laid bed-written with my feet up, hoping that the pain and bleeding would subside.

I was suffering from a corneal pregnancy and after 5 weeks it ruptured. I was in pain and had to have surgery. I lost a lot of blood by thankfully I was at a wonderful hospital and they took really good care of me. I just came home today and other than being a little sore I'm doing fine.
