Question 1

is iud insertion more difficult on certain women because of their anatomy, uterus position, etc? is there a way to know beforehand if i'm one of them?

Accepted Answer

IUD: The short answer is yes. There is no way for you really to know unless a skilled professional who has done a lot of IUD insertions examines you first. Difficulty also includes the type of IUD used. Why guess about it?

Question 2

can you explain why i have "signs" of ovulating if both my tubes are removed? is the egg still finding its way to my uterus? unsure of the anatomy.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Ovulation happens on your ovaries rather than your fallopian tubes.  The fallopian tubes pick up the egg after ovulation and transport it to the uterus.  Fertilization frequently takes place during the journey down the tube.  If you have no tubes but have ovaries you will still ovulate but the egg will be re-absorbed by your body.  It would be unlikely for an egg to make it to the uterus.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Normal anatomy : A tipped uterus is normal for 40% of the population. It is simply how your body is built and it creates very few if any problems.

Question 9

how big is my uterus at 7 months?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: You would need an Ultrasound to tell you your exact size at 7mo.  Best wishes to you.

Question 10

has anyone had a sideways uterus?

Accepted Answer

Yep!: Uteri come in all sizes, shapes, and configurations. They can be tipped forward, backward or sideways and/or can be bent forward, backward, or sideways. These variations in normal usually do not affect fertility.  To take this a step further, there could be a uterus with two heads or two cervixes.  Not to worry - follow the usual rules about infertility (no baby after 1 year of unprotected sex).
