Retroverted Uterus?

[Junebug_CJ]

Yes, in retro the body of the uterus is tilted back so the cervix points up (when you tilt a plank downwards the top goes up) and vice versa for the anteverted uterus, does that make sense?

And thanks!!!

Yes I getcha; I see you were talking about the cervix position

Thanks for clearing that up

Also, I had a laparoscopy years ago to check for endo (negative) because I was having such severe period pain. Turns out bad period pain can be a consquence of tilted uterus. I am feeling a bit peeved that my gynaecologist failed to mention any of this to me at the time.

hmmm. i have a very tilted uterus, and always have bad AF cramps. wonder if this is why?

Hi Ladies

I am 37 and TTC our first. I have been pregnant once but had a mmc in April so back on the TTC bandwagon again now

Noticed this thread and just wanted to join the 'retroverted uterus' club At my follow-up scan after my mc I was told I have one! I always wondered if I may have one as my mum has. I have never suffered any period problems though to suggest I did. Interestingly though, I believe the time I conceived was from doggy style and I lay on my tummy for about half an hour afterwards So I will definitely be doing this again!

Hi Nat,

Sorry to hear about your mc and welcome to the retroverts club, lol

From what I've been hearing "the future is doggy" Pfff. No sacrifice for me and my OH

Still, it's good to know this and that the prevailing wisdom is to stay on your tummy afterwards. It also saves the risk of back/neck injury from doing headstands

Good luck with TTC

I also have a retroverted cervix. We tried for 13 cycles and the last one I laid on my belly and got pregnant that cycle.
