I am afraid that there is little that can be done to provide an acceptable uterus for you. Commonly, in this condition there is very little vagina as well, but there are proceedures to correct that problem. However, since you have normal ovaries, you would be able to conceive through IVF, though you would need a surrogate mother to actually carry your biologic offspring to delivery.
