Congrats on finding out you are preggo! When I had my pouch done the surgeon informed me that this surgery will make you that you will never be able to conceive. I was like "what". I was so desperate to get rid of this stoma so at the time I did not really care. Well now I do. Did anyone out there experience the same thing? Also, after the baby is born how is this effecting your j-pouch?
Thanks ljk

I would consider consulting with a reproductive endocrinologist, especially if you aren't getting periods on your own. I was only able to get pregnant through IVF due to scar tissue on my fallopian tubes from the j-pouch surgeries and an irregular cycle from PCOS (unrelated to my GI issues). It's worth visiting the real experts to assess your fertility.
