Yeah and some people get it after they have bubs. I don't know what mine was after having Jack but before him it was retroverted.]]> Fri, 02 Feb 2007 20:44:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=106453&title=retroverted-uterus#106453 <![CDATA[Retroverted Uterus : Yep I read that retro uteri tilt...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=106422&title=retroverted-uterus#106422 Author: busymum

Yep I read that retro uteri tilt into the correct position in the majority of cases by the end of the first trimester. They sometimes then stay in the right place (or flip back after birth)... this can also just happen as the person gets a bit older.]]> Fri, 02 Feb 2007 19:19:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=106422&title=retroverted-uterus#106422 <![CDATA[Retroverted Uterus : Yip mine is too and no probs getting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=106364&title=retroverted-uterus#106364 Author: Rachael21

Yip mine is too and no probs getting preg. I think once you get to about 12 weeks or something it pops up anyway so its normal well thats what my dr said. It also makes its hard to tell how far along you are at the start and you need a camera up there for really early scans.]]> Fri, 02 Feb 2007 17:08:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=106364&title=retroverted-uterus#106364 <![CDATA[Retroverted Uterus : Most people after they have a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105782&title=retroverted-uterus#105782 Author: mummy_becks

Most people after they have a scan (without a baby in there) on their uterus would know if their uterus is retroverted. That is how I found out and the fact my GP could feel that it was tilted. My mum's is also retroverted so it could be a herditary thing (like most of the issues I have with my body down there, my mum had them too) along the lines of endo etc.]]> Wed, 31 Jan 2007 12:19:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105782&title=retroverted-uterus#105782 <![CDATA[Retroverted Uterus : Yip i have also heard about the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105773&title=retroverted-uterus#105773 Author: EthansMummy

I do the whole..."tilting pelvis..." after BDing anyway, have no idea if I have a Retroverted Uterus or not.

Just read somewhere that it helped to lie down after BDing and prop up your uteris with a pillow so figured it wouldn't hurt.......(not always the most exciting to lie around for 1/2 hour after....but its good "thinking time"...!!!)]]> Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:26:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105665&title=retroverted-uterus#105665 <![CDATA[Retroverted Uterus : Ginger I suspect my uterus is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105477&title=retroverted-uterus#105477 Author: busymum

Ginger I suspect my uterus is retroverted but don't actually know for certain. It's because when I'm pg, all my tummy measurements are under average and then I have average+ babies, and because of things I've heard about discomfort in particular BD positions But.... I don't have a particularly bad back (I don't think), or hugely painful periods, and I haven't had trouble conceiving.

Anyway somethng I read (googled it one day) about conceiving with a retro-uterus is that after BDFing you should lie on your back with a pillow or preferably two under your hips - so as to tilt the swimmers to the right place more easily.]]> Tue, 30 Jan 2007 13:08:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105477&title=retroverted-uterus#105477 <![CDATA[Retroverted Uterus : perhaps do a pelvic tilt or throw...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105458&title=retroverted-uterus#105458 Author: Sarah Beth

perhaps do a pelvic tilt or throw pillows under your hips for awhile after the deed and get gravity to help?

Mine is tilted back quite a bit so it maybe the same thing. I know that when I get AF it really hurts ( I tell people going through labour with Andrew was easier than AF some months). But as for getting pregnant - sorry can't help both times have been a surprise pregnancy.

Yerp i have one of those. Didnt affect us getting pregnant it was just the quality of my eggs that did. I have heard bits and pieces of what to do etc but when i got pregnant i didnt do anything just did the deed and went to sleep lol I have also heard that it shouldnt affect you getting pregnant ]]> Tue, 30 Jan 2007 11:01:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105405&title=retroverted-uterus#105405 <![CDATA[Retroverted Uterus : I ahve no idea about the uterus,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105401&title=retroverted-uterus#105401 Author: Sarah Beth

Does anyone else have this problem?

I was lying awake last night, thinking about things, and I remember my specialist telling me that my uterus was retroverted and what that means. It's one of those bits of information that I filed under "deal with later" in the midst of my endo crisis.

I realised last night that the reason my back has been so horrendously sore is because of the retroverted uterus, and my period being due/arriving. The increased pressure on my sciatic (presumably). Duh! Of course, the back pain has always been there - it's just that it's been nothing compared to my endo, and so it's a few steps down the 'things to complain about' chain. Except, this month, I've realised that my body has *really* started to heal after the surgery (didn't half take a while!!) - YAY!! and which has tugged that little memory chip about the retroverted uterus.

What I know:

A retroverted uterus makes it harder to get pregnant. I guess because of the angle, it's harder for the swimmers to do their thing, and bearing in mind DH and I are dealing with a wee swimmer issue *anyway* ...

What I want to know:

Anyone else who has this problem ...were there any tricks to help things along? eg. should I lie on my back after BD, or are there positions that are better than others for the deed itself ...]]> Tue, 30 Jan 2007 10:47:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5466&PID=105397&title=retroverted-uterus#105397
