I was on the pill,but it effected my blood pressure too much. I am on progesterone to regulate my periods. But, I am also concerned because I was told that my uterus is tipped( it was brought up in a pelvic exam), but it looks good on the ultrasounds. I am going to do everything I can to preserve my fertility. My provider knows that I want to have a baby.
