Infertility, Secondary Support Group

"Secondary infertility" is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived and carried a normal pregnancy. Apart from various medical conditions (e.g. hormonal), this may come as a result of age and stress felt to provide a sibling for their first child.

tilted uterus

Does anyone have a tilted uterus? I was told that I have one. When I had my first child I was told this is why I had so much back labor. Does anyone know if this affects your ability to conceive and if so if their a certain position that is better than others?

I have a tilted uterus and I also had horrible back pain during labor! I think I read somewhere that it may effect conceiving because it's harder for the sperm to get "into" the uterus, but I'm not completely sure about that! I think mine is tilted because of the endometriosis that I have, but not sure on that either! Sorry, not a lot of help!

if its the same as what i have it can also be a intreverted uterus, they told me i had one when i was pregnant with my son, it has no effect on ur ability to fall pregnant at all, dont know about positions to help but there is afew positions that arnt good for you but only because they may cause you a fair abit if pain and i dont think thats a good thing.

My mother has a tilted uterus. My Dh and I had been ttc for a while and then they thought mine was tilted too, but after it was checked they found it wasn't. She (my mom) said getting pregnant with me took her quiet some time but it was possible, plus she had the back labor/back pains. I think your chances are just as good as the next person but maybe see a specialist for more info about this topic. Best of Luck. :)

i have heard it can be harder too. But my sister has a tilted uterus and I have PCOS and see some symptoms with her too. But she has had two babies back to back. My Aunt also was told she couldnt conceive and has a tilted uterus. She has two sons.

I think positioning could help. Ask your OB or RE what they think works the best.

Good luck!

I have a tilted uterus as well. My doctors have told me it doesn't effect my ability to conceive. It corrects itself during the pregnancy.

I have one as well, and it hasn't hurt my chances of conceiving at all. I've had 3 pregnancies in the past 3 years: one healthy pregnancy and birth in 2005, two miscarriages in 2007. Creating healthy embryos seems to be my problem.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
