Melasma and Fertility

Hey ladies! I'm 31 and just started TTC #1 a couple months ago and wondered if any of you women had melasma (dark pigmentation on foreheads, cheeks) before getting pregnant and if so did you have any issues getting pregnant? I've had it for no reason for the last year or so (never been on contraceptives or been pregnant). I know it can be caused by a hormonal fluctuation, but cant find any research discussing whatever causes it and if it can also affect fertility? Shot in the dark but figured itd be worth asking!

Hi, I've never heard of any link with fertility. I have melasma which was caused by pregnancy, I still went on to have 2 more. Good luck!

I have very bad melasma since teen years. I did suffer from recurring miscarriage s and it took 2years to become pregnant but this was due to low progesterone and went on to have two healthy pregnancies . I have never made the link between the two and my skin did not get darker during pregnancy.
