want a baby bad!

Hi ladies, finding this site today was like finding gold for me. Am in need of sharing my experiences and reading about others for help/advice/friendship. I've been with my boyfriend for 5yrs and was trying for a baby, and have been unsuccessful. We just forgot about it after 3yrs of trying, and mid july of 2010, i found out i was actually preg only to lose the pregnancy aug. 20, at only 7 wks. Anger is still flowing through my veins to this day, thinking of close i was to becomming a mom for the first time, only to have it torn away from me. Now, i suffer from a crooked cervix (was told this during an ultrasound the day i was having a threatened miscarriage by the lady), I feel now that this has been my problem from the gate, was that my cervix is crooked. So crooked that my os is covered and sperm can't get through. I've heard of other women with a crooked cervix succeeding in pregnancy, but...its difficult for me. My boyfriend has given up for good (he has a child of his own, 12yrs old, reason i think its so easy for him to give up), me on the other hand still have hopes (secretly) but at the same time, know its pretty much impossible. I'm watching eveyone around me go on to become parents and have more kids, and here i am with no experience what so ever, its an emotional pain i deal with every single day. Everyday, i cry and say how much i hate this body i've been given. Need support by women who knows what this is like. :-(

Hello,
It is unlikely for crooked or tilted cervix to cause infertility. The cervix is the neck of the uterus. A tilted cervix is most likely an extension of a tipped uterus and should not cause a hindrance in pregnancy. But for exact confirmation, you can take a second opinion from a gynecologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
