So do women with two uteruses have two menstrual cycles? Could she be menstruating and not at the same time? > The fact both ovaries ovulated at the same time, or around the same time, is pretty astounding Seems to imply that she’s having two menstrual cycles, one for each uterus/ovary. Aren’t the ovaries usually “in sync”? They take turns ovulating?

>So do women with two uteruses have two menstrual cycles? No, they don't. Uterus didelphys is caused by two tubes that normally join during fetal developed not joining. There are still only 2 ovaries. Though the bleeding might be irregular due to physical reasons. Even if ovaries were doubled, there wouldn't be two cycles as hormones are centrally regulated and wouldn't be able to target specific ovaries.

  So does that mean that a woman with uterus didelphys is no more likely than any other woman to release two eggs during ovulation?

    Yes, exactly.
