Coeliac and Fertility

has anyone had untreated coeliac disease affect their fertility and then it improved when they stopped eating gluten?

this is not something I had considered before but upon research it seems some people do have experience of this. Coeliac runs in my family and my TSH levels are slightly high also which could be a symptom so I am going to get tested and go GF but just wanting to hear other’s experiences. Thanks!

@worldwidetravel2017 that is amazing that she was able to conceive naturally after all that treatment but also awful that she had to go through all that before anyone mentioned coeliac. I can’t believe I haven’t came across the link in all my research! 3 months was really quick to conceive after coming off gluten also
