Do women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have problems getting pregnant?
Not usually. Women with UC seem to get pregnant as easily as other women. But some studies suggest that women with active CD have more problems with fertility than other women. Plus, women who have had surgery for IBD, particularly an IPAA, have more difficulty getting pregnant than women in the general population.
