Does anyone believe in a tilted womb?

Diagnosed as having a tilted womb as a result of a forceps delivery by an arvigo massage therapist. Does anyone believe that this could be a reason for not conceiving? Or am I potentially going to be conned out of hundreds of pounds for an abdominal massage and a load of old cobblers? What do you gals think?

all i know is that my tilted womb makes internal examinations, scans and procedures very painful so you will know if you have got one and personally i would think i should hold babies in there easier if its tilted in the opposite direction!

I was diagnosed with retroverted uterus once I was pregnant so had conceived fine. Mine didn't correct as pregnancy developed, so DD was never able to engage ended up in LOP presentation and all kinds of trouble.

I have a tilted womb and 3 DCs. I was not aware it was supposed to be a factor in infertility.

Agree with AttilaTheMeerkat - I have a retroverted womb and got pregnant no problem, had a cs but that was because baby didn't turn - would have been no problem otherwise. Smears are a nightmare but never had real period pain so go figure :)

Massage treatment to 'correct' it = a con.

I have a tilted womb, conceived 2 of my dc at quite literally the first attempts. All were term babies, optimally positioned, straightforward labours and deliveries.

I have a tilted uterus, and have conceived 3 times, carried to term twice. Both were forceps deliveries, and I do get bad period pains in my back, but aside from that and initial scans ending up being internal, I've had no issues with conception.

Mine is tilted. No problems conceiving or giving birth.

I have one - told during a scan for cysts in my twenties as had acne. Have not had issues conceiving but tend to use doggy/lying on your front to do so!

I have a tilted uterus. So does my mum. She has 4 DC. I just got my bfp. No pain with smears.

It is No Big Deal.
