Crohn's - trying to concieve

[Krisk78]

Hi I've just joined and am also having a little trouble navigating page (not very tech savvy) my name is kristy I was diagnosed with Crohn's about 5years ago and to say it has been a roller coaster ride is an understatement my youngest of 3 children was 5 at the time. After countless miscarriages and not knowing why I had decided to give us a break and had my tubes clamped having always wanted a big family and feeling like I understood my Crohn's enough to think about having another child my husband and I discussed having clamps removed but before we could get very far I found out I was pregnant only to miscarry 2 days later. After seeing my doctor we discovered my right clamp had moved slightly we are now waiting on an appointment with a specialist to have clamps removed to give us a better chance of conceiving I'm very nervous about the affects of Crohn's on conception and also the toll on my body and also a baby I was relived to find this page with so many others discussing Crohn's and pregnancy any advice or others stories in similar circumstances would be greatly appreciated signed wishing and hopeful

Hiya Krisk78
and welcome

I've moved your post to this Parenting/TTC (trying to Conceive) it was stuck in someone else's thread, it's ok, hard to navigate sometimes.
hopefully you'll get a lot of advise, support and make new friends in here.

Hi krisk78 I really feel what u have been through. It's hard. I got diagnosed with crohns july 2011. Me and my partner wanted to try for a baby nov 2011. I found out I was pregnant dec of that year. The doctors had previously told me that it would be difficult for me to conceive. I had a flare up when I was 4 months pregnant, had to go into hospital and have a course of hydrocortisone. Now my little boy is nearly one and he is very healthy. I have had a small bowel resection bout four weeks ago and feeling amazing. Good luck !
