Uterine Position and Infertility

Some people believe that the position of your uterus impacts your ability to conceive, and that different uterine positions may actually contribute to female infertility.

Generally speaking, the uterus in most women tilts toward the bladder - to the front. Some women have a uterus that tilts backwards. Since the cervix - the opening to the uterus - remains in essentially the same position, it is believed that the actual direction in which the uterus tilts has no real effect on a woman's ability to get pregnant, nor does it cause female infertility.
