Tilted Uterus

eristin82

Last question from me today, I promise  )  I just got done with my ultrasound and the tech mentioned that my uterus is tilted.  She said this is common and doesn't cause a problem with fertility...but I'm just curious if any of you have this as well or have a different opinion.  Thanks!

I do, and I had no problems carrying a baby. It took us about 5 months to conceive the first time. HTH!

I had a very tilted uterus (tiled back and to the side) and we had no problems conceiving.

I do, but my RE said it isn't a problem either.

Experts say you should do it doggy style to conceive with a tilted ute.

Yep my gyn told me I had a lazy uterus. It's tipped and leaning to the left.

I have a crooked ute. The doc said it won't be an issue.

Sounds like it's not an issue.  Thanks for the reassurance!

The only issues i had were

1. when they did the dating u/s it had to be an internal b/c i was so tilted the external didnt work, And it was really uncomfortable b/c they had to tilt the wand to see everything (my dr office also checks the overaies during this u/s)

2. Part tilted uterus, part where LO was (right by my artery) they had trouble locking on the heart at the 12 wk appt- the dr could get glimses of it but we couldnt hear it until the 16 wk appt.

I have one.  My RE says it won't cause problems.

Depending on how your uterus is tilted, you could have either a retroverted or retroflexed uterus. Retroverted is where it tips backwards, retroflexed is where it is tipped backwards and also folded over on itself.For some people, this is a non-issue, but according to my RE, about 1/2 of all women with either of these variations also have endometriosis (which ended up being my case). I had the endo taken care of via a lap last June. I am pursuing Mayan abdominal massage, which may assist with moving the uterus back into "normal" position.

My dr. also told me I had a tilted uterus, also said to have sex face down (doggie) but to keep my booty up in the air - she wasn't that technical.  It took us close to a year to get pregnant but I believe that was part to not charting so I thought I O later than I really did.  But now we have a beautiful 2 year old and once again, trying.  GL!

The way she explained it, it sounds like mine is retroflexed - tipped back and folded.
