HT & Autoimmune disorders

[HopeandDreamG]

I don't think any doctor would have you do a cycle if you are in a flare. I personally think you would be wasting your $. Did you mention to the doc you were actually in a flare?
I think after your baby is born you should try to get your disease in control and go from there.
If age is an issue perhaps you can do a retrieval then an FET when you are healthy. I think the chances of a pregnancy are greatly reduced by being in a flare.

Thankyou for your answering my question hopeandDreamG I think you are right about that, I am going to have to really spell it out and see what he says even though I told him about it, he didn't say anything!! And I haven't really been focusing on that problem I have been more worried of my age. I am feeling really well at moment I just hope and pray it stays this way I wish you all the best with your health and with your next cycle good luck

I just thought I'd update I got my blood results back and tested negative for the other immune conditions the rheumatologist was testing for so thats great news. Also my CRP was not raised and ESR was only mildly raised. Considering I thought I was in a bad flare I was really happy with that

Hi,
I was hoping if someone coud tell me what impact, if any, Autoimmue disorders on the females side has on HT. In particular I'm referring to Ankylosing Spondylitis (positive for HLA-B27 gene). Does it make any difference if the disease is active or not at the time of cycling?

Is there anything that can be done to minimise the impact when cycling?

If anyone can attach any links or refer me to any sites where I can read up on this further, that would be most appreciated.

Thankyou.

To my knowledge, AS does not affect pregnancy outcome as long as you are not on immunosuppressing medications. It is somewhat different than other autoimmune diseases in this aspect.

I have an autoimmune disorder- crohns. I have NO idea of your autoimmune disorder. I can tell you if my disease was active there is no way a doc wold let me cycle and it would be a huge waste of time and money anyway bc it's quite doubtful a pregnancy would stick. If our body thinks it can't handle a pregnancy it won't. Again I don't know your particular auto immune disorder but I would assume if its active its not a good idea.

Love your profile pic!!!
