Tilted uterus?

Anyone ever told this before? Did your gyn ever say it would be a problem? Now that we're TTC, I've just remembered that she told me this. But I'm pretty sure she said it wouldn't be a problem.  TIA

    I have an inverted uterus, as far as I've read and from what my doctor has told me... it should not cause any problems with TTC, though it may cause some difficulties while giving birth.

    ?P.s. Tilted and inverted (& retroverted) are all different things, or at least this is what I have been told. As far as a tilted uterus, which I've been told I have as well (though I was always under the impression it was the same thing as inverted), should cause no issues with TTC or childbirth.

    HTH.?

    I have had two doctors tell me I have a tilted cervix (?) or maybe uterus, I'm not sure.  They both said it would not be a problem ttc.

    That doesn't make sense unless she had other issues because a tilted uterus corrects itself around 10 weeks in pregnancy.  I have a retroverted uterus and have had no problems TTC or being pregnant.  Some people do say that "doggie style" with TTC helps, not sure if there is any merit to that ;) 

    BTW, here is what the Mayo Clinic says:

    https://www.mayoclinic.com/health/tilted-uterus/AN00461

    In the past, it was thought that a tilted uterus may contribute to infertility. But it's now known that the position of the uterus doesn't affect the ability of sperm to reach an egg.

    From TressGrec:

    P.s. Tilted and inverted (& retroverted) are all different things, or at least this is what I have been told. As far as a tilted uterus, which I've been told I have as well (though I was always under the impression it was the same thing as inverted), should cause no issues with TTC or childbirth.

    I am not sure that is true. My doctors have always used tilted and retroverted interchangeably. From the American Pregnancy Organizations:

    What other terms are used to describe a tipped uterus?

    There are many alternate ways of referring to a tipped uterus. However, all of the terms mean that the uterus is tipped backwards toward the back of the pelvis.

    Common terms include:

    • Retroflexed uterus
    • Tilted uterus
    • Backward uterus
    • Retroverted uterus
    • Tilted womb

    Btw, I wanted to add that my best friend said she had the same thing, and someone (her mother) had told her that the best position for conception was doggy style.  Not sure it matters all that much, but there you go. :)
