I just had an abortion today at almost 18 weeks pregnant. It was the worst decision ive ever had to make and im a mess over it, but I just was not ready to bring a baby into this world without having my career started or being able to provide everything this baby deserves. Anyway, after they finished the abortion they checked through an ultra sound screen kind of thing I guess to make sure everything was clear..And at first they cudnt find my uterus and then they found it slightly over to my right side. I asked if thats okay, they said its fine, I did well and everything is okay. Im just concerned about it..Has anyone heard of this before? I go to see my family doctor in 2 weeks to make sure my cervix is closed and everything and ill ask him then but this is really bothering me right now! Any help would be good. Thanks, take care!

having a uterus to one side, tipped forward or backwards, etc, is a fairly common occourence. Heck, in my family, it is apparently a genetic thing to have two uteruses... Odd!

I don't think this is something to be too worried about, but you should always ask the doctors questions when you discover something new about yourself, so you know whats up.

Hi poster, I am sorry that your circumstances did not allow for a baby, but I believe abortion is an ok choice and would never judge!

Tipped uteruses are actually common, mine is a retroverted uterus, tipped backwards.

Abortion and fertility problems are so rare nowadays.

Unsterile conditions, and nasty infections back during back alley aboriton days, we causes of infertility.

Miscarriages are done the same way as an abortion, suction...

Yet you do not hear doctors telling the women "oh no, you will be infertile!". They tell women to keep trying after miscarriages..
