tilted/retroverted uterus and ttc
ok this is going to sound ridiculous and maybe laughable when I tell you why I am asking but I thought you girls may know the answer
the other night I was watching an episode of sex and the city and charlotte was telling the girls that since she had a tilted uterus, it would be harder for her to get pregnant because the sperm had to swim over an incline or something like that
I know so many girls have a tilted uterus...did anyone ever hear of this theory?

Re: tilted/retroverted uterus and ttc
I actually asked a technician during a u/s if I had a tilted uterus. She responded by telling me that every woman's uterus is tilted, some more than others and each in different directions. She said mine was retroverted which meant tilted to the right/left which I forgot which. But it's true, severe tilts can interfere with conception and even tracking of the fetus on a u/s. Some people are misdiagnosed for miscarriage because there uterus is so tilted it's hard to see the baby early on.
Basically, anyway you look at it, ttc is nothing but tilts. ONE BIG ROLLERCOASTER RIDE

Re: tilted/retroverted uterus and ttc
This is probably why they advocate staying still with your legs up against the wall for at least 15 minutes after BDing.
I swear I used to watch tv like that as a little girl and I could sit like that for hours (little did I know back then...lol)... now, I feel like an IDIOT... butt naked, legs against the wall trying to reach for my book while DH is "trying" not to fall asleep Oh, now I know why mom's always say, "Do you know what I went through to have you"

Re: tilted/retroverted uterus and ttc
I have this problem. Dr. told us that unless DH's is shaped like a candy cane we're not gong to have much luck getting the sperm to swim where they should - which could be the reason I have had so many chemicals.
It *****.

Re: tilted/retroverted uterus and ttc
I think it depends... I have a tilted uterus as well and I conceived within two months of trying. I've heard doggy style works best... it worked for us

Re: tilted/retroverted uterus and ttc
Kathy, a chemical pregnancy is when the egg is fertilized, but has trouble implanting.
That means the sperm made it to where it had to go, if your uterus is somehow too tilted, that would be the cause of possible implantation problems, they have procedures that can fix that. However, how does' dh's having to have a candy cane shape have to do with your chemicals ? I am confused.

Re: tilted/retroverted uterus and ttc
I have a tilted uterus, and just got my BFP (and I'm fairly certain that we conceived in a different fashion than doggie style  )

I was just going to add something like this! You beat me to it!
I never knew I had a tilted uterus until my 6th week sono.... a different OBGYN than I usually see asked me if his partner (my usual Dr.- but not the one I use now since he doesn't deliver babies anymore) ever told me my uterus was tilted! I just said that no one ever told me that before.
Well, I got preggo w/o knowing this and it took me only 4 months! (of real trying)
I'm guessing it would be no problem! If the spermies are eager enough to do thier job, the will find a way up that incline!
Good Luck!
