There are a few possibilities. There's a bicornuate uterus as Kristi
wrote, but there's also uterus didelphys and a unicornuate uterus with a
rudimentary horn. They are all somewhat different and carry differing
risks. Once you know exactly which one it is and have other questions,
write back anytime for more information.
Hope this helps.
