I only found out because sex felt very different post baby, and my midwife was able to tell me that it hadn't gone back it the usual place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-569212 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:49:33 +0000 LazyLightning 569212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one too and no problems. Positive test the first time we tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-569117 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:05:22 +0000 maybebaby 569117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one and conceived the first month trying. I'm not sure if there are any documented studies about difficulty TTC with one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-568311 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 10:42:07 +0000 raintreebee 568311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out I had a tilted uterus about 2 years ago from my gynecologist, then that I had endometriosis 1 year ago from my RE. Sometimes endo can cause a tilted uterus, but usually they are just that way for no reason at all. According to my doctor, a tilted uterus, in and of itself, does not cause problems. I only wish that my gyno had seen it as a possible sign (along with other signs) for endo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-568078 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 09:36:51 +0000 Suzimo 568078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have tilted uterus and have wondered if it has played a part in my difficulties TTC, but like many have said here I don't think it does. I have read online that there are a few positions that may be better for TTC with a tilted uterus. So you may want to check that out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-567704 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 22:29:22 +0000 marionberry 567704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told mine was tilted at an annual exam years ago. It has continued to be. We didn't get pregnant on our own (we did IUI) but my RE never seemed to think that had anything to do with it. I'm curious to see at my next ultrasound how it is positioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-567132 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:42:16 +0000 winniebee 567132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Mine was still tilted at 8 weeks along....but I have no idea what it's like now (9 months post partum!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-567113 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:38:38 +0000 Happygal 567113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! You all are fast with the information, and it's all good to hear.</p> <p>@DuckduckKristen: my mom also had a tilted uterus and four children as well! It took them a long time to get pregnant though, for whatever reason.</p> <p>@Adira: retroverted means the uterus is tilted backwards. I'm not sure what it's called if it tips forward.</p> <p>@Winniebee: I read the same thing about that position. Wouldn't hurt to try!</p> <p>I also read that the uterus can tilt into normal position after getting pregnant. I always imagined it tilting like a scale and needing a lot of weight to move it forward. But supposedly it can be enough weight to change it at 8 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566791 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:47:12 +0000 BSB 566791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB mentioned it last year that I had one. At my last IUI, I asked about it and she said that my uterus is back to normal. So I guess it's not permanent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566788 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:45:31 +0000 duckduckkristen 566788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A tilted uterus is very common. My mom's was tilted and she had 4 kids no problem. As long as you don't have any other issues it shouldn't be a problem. (According to DH who is a radiologist and does a lot of studies for infertility). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566505 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:48:29 +0000 winniebee 566505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know that I had one until pregnant - my doctor said it doesn't affect fertility. I did read online that the man behind position helps getting pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566499 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:46:31 +0000 MamaMoose 566499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BFF has one and she got pregnant easily three times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566491 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:44:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 566491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had (have) one and was able to get pregnant my first month trying. When I went for my 6 week check up my uterus completely closed back up and instead of titled is now a "c" shape. I asked about next time and she said it still shouldn't be a problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566433 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:27:07 +0000 SleepyMonkey 566433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have one too. we got pregnant on the second cycle after i went off bcp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566429 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:25:34 +0000 BelugaBean 566429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I might have asked when she was putting the Mirena in actually. I think I figured that they had an ultrasound pulled up so why not ask. And DH kept LO during that appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566415 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:22:03 +0000 immabeetoo 566415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: I should've asked! I was alone with a screaming baby though so I rushed out haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566414 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:21:58 +0000 mrskc 566414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one and I didn't know until my first ultrasound when I was pregnant. I got pregnant fairly easily besides a miscarriage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566408 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:20:24 +0000 BelugaBean 566408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I totally asked my doctor if it was still tilted at my six week postpartum visit. It is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566407 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:20:10 +0000 mrsmenow 566407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one and have 3 DDs so I don't think it effected me too much. I did read that sometimes sperm can get trapted behind the cervex so putting your feet up might not help-instead lay on your stomach with a pillow under your hips. I alternated this and putting my feet up just to have my bases covered,lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566396 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:16:11 +0000 Adira 566396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been told I have a tilted uterus, though the term retroverted did not come up. It took us six cycles to get pregnant, and during the last cycle, I was really conscious of making sure my hips were tilted up after sex - I would prop my feet up against the wall so my hips were practically vertical. Not sure if it helped or not, but it certainly didn't hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566395 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:16:10 +0000 immabeetoo 566395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was not sure if pregnancy straightened it out. My Ob said laying with my legs up after might help but not to worry and we got pregnant fast! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566394 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:16:03 +0000 BelugaBean 566394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't TTC but I have a tilted uterus. I went off of birth control in August and conceived in October without actively trying to get pregnant.</p> <p>I was told about it really at my 8 week ultrasound (I think a doctor had told me a few years before that too at my annual exam). The ultrasound tech told me it's like being left handed and that it shouldn't affect anything as far as TTC in the future or my pregnancy. I had no problems with my pregnancy besides a low-lying placenta that moved on it's own by 28 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-wtilted-uterus-anyone#post-566382 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:13:04 +0000 Happygal 566382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a titled uterus-it is retroverted, to be exact. A doctor told me awhile ago that it wouldn't be a problem with trying to get pregnant, so I didn't think much of it. Now that we're TTC, I'm trying to find out a little bit more on the topic and there seems to be varying thoughts about it.</p> <p>Has anyone dealt with a tilted uterus while TTC? Did your doctor have any concern and/or advice for you? </p>
