ARCHIVED Celiac Disease And Infertility
firefightersgal replied to taradorff's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Everything I've read says that celiac disease, untreated, leads to infertility. It makes so much sense to me now that celiac is my issue, as all of my hormone levels are normal and I don't have any physical abnormalities. I don't ovulate on my own, so I have to take Clomid.

I have been dealing with long, anovulitory cycles for almost two years. I became pregnant almost a year ago, but lost the baby at 9 weeks. I had no problem getting pregnant with my daughter over 4 years ago, so my secondary infertility has been extremely frustrating. I had my hormone levels drawn, and they were all normal. I still am not ovulating on... -
I have been spending a lot of time in doctor's offices lately trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I thought that my issues were independent of each other, but now it looks an awful lot like Celiac. I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday to look at my out of control 'eczema'. The day before, my husband worked for someone (not his usual...
