This is certainly possible. Either you have a vaginal septum, or you may have a duplication of the reproductive system, called uterine didelphus, where you actually have a non-union of the uterus and cervix. In this case you have two cervices, as well as two horns of the uterus. You really need to see a gynecologist.
