Question
I am 24 years old, and I have no children. My last doctor informed me that I have a tilt pelvis, and this could be the reason why. I have never taken birth control, or used any other method to prevent becoming pregnant. I was also informed that it would be very difficult for me to concieve. My last period began on february 11th, and ended on the 14th. About two weeks after that I spotted very lightly for about three days, and I have not had a period yet. Could it be possible for me to be pregnant now. And if so, other than missing my period, what other changes would I have physically at this time? Thank you very much for any answer you can give me.

Answer
Hello Christie. I think you mean that you have a tilted uterus and though it can be a source of concern, many women with this condition become pregnant. If you are pregnant now, you are about 6 weeks along. You may start to have some nausea and a need to empty your bladder more often. Your breasts may be tender in the next couple of weeks as well. Hope you get the answer you want. Cheri.
