My husband and I have recently been trying to get pregnant. My mother told me that I have a tipped uterus and have heard it will be difficult to conceive. Is this true? Can any thing be done?

While in Chiropractic college I had an Obstetrics teacher who was a chiropractor and a midwife. She retired from a practice based almost exclusively on helping the "can't get pregnant" population with great results.
I don't have any personal experience with these types of patients but have known many chiropractors who reported having patients who were able to get pregnant after years of trying once they began chiropractic care.
It would be an idea you could consider.
Best of luck.

Dear Sam,
My own tipped uterus didn't seem to have any effect on my easily becoming pregnant whenever my husband and I tried. Best!

Hi, Sam.
You (and your husband) need to read "Every Woman's Book" by Dr Paavo Airola. It has been just re-released so I know it is available. If you do THAT stuff you will not have to worry about the "tipped uterus".
NOW, having said that, is it retroverted, retroflexed or both? Which one it is has a lot to do with how much it could effect fertility.
I think it its pretty well accepted now that the position of the uterus has very little to do with fertility. Most of the current epidemic of infertility is due to environmental factors that you read about nearly every day in the newspapers--
about frogs, salamanders, alligators, etc. THEY are the canaries in the coalmine for the humans in this environment. The information in Dr Ariola's book will well nigh make your conception (and successful pregnancy) immune to those factors.
Let us know what you learn.
