So a very quick recap of my very long journey is that when I was 16 in 2011 I had my first set of 3 surgeries to remove my colon and have the temporary ileostomy because my UC was not being managed and it was really bad I was not even diagnosed for a full year before I was having surgery. After that I had complications that I was told from my first doctor were “normal” and would vanish after some time. Well by 2020 I was having another set of surgeries because my complications from the first set of surgeries caused my jpouch to prolapse. I am now a year out from surgery and I’m currently experiencing no complications! (Knock on wood lol) anyway in that time I married my boyfriend who was SO supportive during this time for me. So, we have been trying to get pregnant for over 6 months now and I’m not having any luck. I was told that it would be difficult because of scar tissue that would likely form and it could prevent my eggs from making the journey from the ovary to the Fallopian tube. My periods are pretty normal and I’ve lost weight (50+ lbs) So I’m not sure what exactly is going on but I was just curious how ttc worked out for anyone else who has a jpouch.
