s, ultrasounds, and laparoscopy with not much information - except that my uterus is retroverted and is lobular in shape with a heterogeneous signal intensity - which can indicate fibroids or adenomyosis in the muscle portion of the uterus - it is in the muscle which is why it can't be seen. I haven't decided how i'm going to handle it yet (there aren't many options) - but this is something you might look into for yourself.
Can a tipped uterus prevent pregnancy?

When I found out i was pregnant with my second they told me I have a tilted uterus. I didn't with my first but with this one I do. It just made it a little harder for them to find the heartbeat at first. I don't have any complications or anything. They could always see baby and everything. They said I will be able to deliver vaginally as long as there aren't any unforseen complications.

What is a retroverted uterus?
A retroverted uterus, also known as a tipped or tilted uterus, is a uterus that tilts back toward the rectal area. In most women the uterus will tilt slightly forward toward the belly. Actually, having a retroverted uterus is quite common. Reports vary but approximately 20% to 40% of all women have a retroverted uterus. Because this is so common, doctors rarely mention if you have a tilted uterus unless you ask.
