Queston for Dr. Potter re: prior c-sections

[girlgirlgirl]

Hi Dr Potter,

We will be coming to HRC next year (I have already had preliminary discussions with Lori).

My question is does having prior C-sections (2 in my case) affect fertility / implantation? Or will my chances of success be the same if I had not had the C-sections?

I have previously conceived naturally 3 times (first attempt) and am 33 years old. I am looking to come to HRC for GS (girl).

Many thanks and looking forward to meeting with you.

Thanks

I'm not Dr. Potter obviously but I know several people who had successful IVF done after 3 c-sections.

Good luck.

Yup me! 42 yrs old, 3 csections (Lots of scar tissue) Csection in Dec 2013 (3rd one-HT DD#1) transferred my one and only good embryo April 2015 and she most certainly took :) and had 4th Csection Dec 2015..

Your fellow responders are correct, having a C-section has no effect on IVF treatment or outcome. It would be the same as a normal pregnancy come time or delivery.

Best,
Dr. P
