UC / IBD - does it affect ttc??

[Wishful30]

Hi there 👋🏻
We have been ttc fir over 2 years. I'm now 36. Getting worried!
I've had private tests and 2 rounds of IUI.
I'm
Now with the NHS and have had further testing.
Nothing really shows up... I still think my uterus could be thicker, and my periods are fairly light (always have been)
Dr is not worried about that as many people carry full term with a thinner uterus.
I have had many a positive test, and once made it to 6week. So conception isn't an issue.

Does anyone have any experience with ttc and UC. I am beginning to wonder of my body is just always a bit inflamed. As it's all in the same general area, maybe it affects my uterus a bit too 🤷🏻‍♀️
Plus I've been anemic on and off too over the last year.

I don't want to go in guns a blazing for IVF just to have another early MC and waste it.

Feel like I need the fertility dr and gastroenterologist in the same room for a chat 🙄

Yes it can. Any autoimmune disease can, but especially those of the gastrointestinal tract. Plus the anaemia won't help. Have you ever had your B12 levels checked as well as gastrointestinal disorders can also result in poor absorption of B12, which can cause anaemia and low B12 can also be a problem.
