Has anyone been told they have this? At one of my u/s for an IUI cycle the Dr. told me one ovary was behind my uterus. My new RE didnt mention seeing that when he did my u/s. How will this work for my ER if it's behind? One more thing to obsess about!

Re: Ovary behind uterus??
Ovaries aren't tied down to one spot, they can move around a little. Mine tend to hide behind my bowels when they are empty, but usually when they have a couple follicles ready to go they get weighed down or something and are more visible.
I may have an answer for you on the ER question this after noon since it is on my list of questions for my IVF consult tonight. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I am a Sonographer (Ultrasound tech). It is normal for your ovaries to be in different positions. I too have an ovary tucked behind my uterus, but it is completely normal.
No reason to worry! :-)
