BJ,
Having a retroverted uterus is a variant of normal. Some people have a
retroverted uterus, or a uterus that leans back, and others have an
anteverted uterus, or a uterus that leans a bit forward. Check the
archives on this, as there is much in there about this.
Also, you will find a lot of information the archives about
Endometriosis, as well as going to the Endometriosis Pavilion and the
Endo Pavilion on OBGYN.net.
