A tipped uterus is the term used to describe a uterus that is tilted backwards away from the belly. The condition is also referred to as a retroverted uterus or tilted uterus. All three terms are interchangeable. The uterus is normally suspended in a straight up and down position or slightly forward toward the belly. A tipped uterus is usually something you are born with, but can be caused by labor while giving birth or by disease. It occurs in approximately 20% of women.
Occasionally a woman with a tilted uterus will feel more rectal pressure during the earliest weeks of pregnancy. But there is no added risk of miscarriage or bleeding related to uterine retroflexion.

A tilted uterous is exactly what it says it is. Your uterous is tilted towards your backbone. This is not dangerous and fairly common the only thing you might notice is that it can sometimes be harder for the Dr. to find the baby's heart beat early on because of the angle being further away from the doppler. Don't worry about it and I always say for you to talk these things over with your Dr. It is your body and you should know how it works.

Almost all the women in my family have a tipped or tilted uterus. No this is not dangerous during a pregnancy. It can move. This is very very common.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

I have one. And I am pregnant with my 3rd child. I have had no problems what so ever. It just means that the uterus is tipped back..or forward depending on the case...more than normal. Some women say that they had a harder time concieving. But it could just be it took longer. They only sure way to know is to ask your doctor.

I have heard of that most of the time it tilts back by itself or the dr. may have to due a procedure, nothing life or death

No, its not dangerous and often once your pregnant, it straightens out. My sister has one and had trouble getting pregnant with her first child. But was able to have two more children without any problems. No, its not dangerous, but can cause difficulty when trying become pregnant.
