Very interesting Jodi - I had an OBGYN tell me years ago that I had a tipped uterus - and I never thought about it again till just now.... I'm interested in the replies you'll get. Thanks for bringing it up.

: it seems i've noticed a number of women here comment on having a tilted : uterus... i'm curious as to how many of us here have them? i do... and : it's something that's bothered me for a while. i think because when i : read fried green tomatoes, one of the characters remarks that she wasn't : able to get pregnant because she had a tilted uterus! now, i know this : is supposed to have been 1930s medical knowledge, and therefore could : well be outdated... but you know how things stick with you? i'm afraid : that even if i overcome PCOS from an i'm-ovulating standpoint, the : tipped uterus will keep me from getting pregnant anyway! not only is my : uterus tipped, my cervix has always been sort of hard for some doctors : to locate (probably because of the tipping...) I did once ask a doc if : this would make it harder to get pregnant, and she said "No, the baby : will come out just fine..." and I said "I'm not worried about it coming : OUT, I'm worried about it getting IN there..." at which point she looked : at me as if i were completely daft... what i mean was, can the SPERM : get in... : : so... how many of you have tipped uteris? how many have you gotten : pregnant without having to overcome that specific problem? should i stop : worrying about it? is it more common in PCOS or no? (I know its : mentioned in Thatcher's book... but I think he comments on it in : reference to it being more common in women with endo, which as far as i : know i don't have... can you have endo and not know it?) : : - jodi : : >>Hello there! : >> : >>My name is Elise and what you describe is exactly what happened to me. I : >>NEVER had a normal period in my life, I have irregular hair growth : >>(which you don't) and a tilted uterus. I had uprotected sex with my : >>husband regularly without fear of becoming pregnant. Then I got on : >>Atkins diet (which controls your sugar/insulin levels) and I got : >>pregnant right away. Boy was I shocked (and happy). As a matter of : >>fact, I took 3 pregnancy tests because I couldn't believe the positive : >>results of the first two. : >> : >>I did have a period the first 3 months of my pregnancy but I gather it : >>is because the placenta was not regulating my hormones (that doesn't : >>happen until after your third month). Once the placenta regulated the : >>hormones, I did not have another period (I am 4 1/2 months pregnant : >>now). I needed no help maintaining the pregnancy though I crampe :
