I had an ultrasound today (checking my egg follicles) and the doctor told me I have a tilted uterus. I'm 28, how come i'm just now being told this? How could it not have been noticed before? My doctor told me it's nothing to be concerned about & should not have any effect ttc.

I do! I didn't find out until I was pregnant last time and went in for my first appointment. It's not a problem. I did read that if you're ttc that you should be laying on your stomach after sex and using rear entry positions. I don't know if it's true but up until last month i'd always lay on my back with my hips elevated and then I read that and started laying on my stomach and now i'm pregnant, so who knows?

Well, I guess if you're laying on your back then the semen is just going to pool behind the entrance to your uterus since it's tilted. If you lay on your stomach it should flow right to it. At least that's the way I understand it. Give it a try!

thanks! I'll be 6 weeks on tuesday. It took 4 months which doesn't seem long but I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks in october after trying for 8 months so that made it seem like it took forever. Cross your fingers this one sticks!

Hey! I do have a tilted uterus. It may affect your chances of getting pregnant though, compare to those who has straight uterus. But it is not that you can't get preg.
I am also diagnoise with pcos. That's doubly hard to get preggy.

I don't know, that's a good question. I have a son & was never told I had a tilted uterus until last week. Has my uterus always been tilted or did being pregnant with my so cause it?

Tilted Uterus
I have a tilted uterus also. I found out when I got pregnant with my son. When I got pregnant we used a rear entry position. The uterus straightens out with pregnancy and then go back to tilted after pregnancy. I saw a different doc for a yearly pap after my son was born. She was able to tell I had a tilted uterus through examination. She did make the comment, "i guess that didn't affect your ability to get pregnant." otherwise I didn't know it affected conception.

I have a tilted uterus. I also have 3 children and didn't find out until after one ( 1st or 2nd) of the was born.
No, it' doesn't go back, because it is still tilted, maybe even moreso. When I get my period, I have major back pains, no cramping in the front like when I was a teenager. Interesting, I thought.
Never thought of lying on my stomach, may try that next time!
