Hi all, I have a beautiful 2-year old daughter, and have been trying to conceive another for about 6 months now. I have CD and have been feeling well for about 6 months with just weekly Humira. I had a surgical consult earlier in the year, but never acted on surgery because I started feeling well.
Now my GI is recommending that I have a bowel resection before pursuing pregnancy. I am confused about this because I have been feeling okay for awhile. I am having MRE next week to see if the area is truly looking better, but I have a feeling he is still going to push me toward surgery
My question is, does anyone know if there is something about pregnancy that actually makes it more likely that you will have an obstruction, even if you are in remission prior?
And has anyone else had a similar experience? I am so frustrated...IBD has already gotten in the way of a lot of things, and now it's interfering with our family planning! I hate it! Plus, I'll be 37 soon, so that is making me nervous, too.
