Inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract

I have IBD and I am thinking of becoming pregnant. Will my disease make it harder for me to become pregnant? Women with UC and inactive CD are as likely to become pregnant as women without IBD. Active CD may decrease the ability to become pregnant by increasing inflammation in the pelvic organs. It may be more difficult to become pregnant if you have had surgery for IBD, as the surgery may have caused scar tissue to form in the pelvic region and around the fallopian tubes.
