Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Claire-I'd be interested to hear more...

Claire,
Thanks so much for your response to my earlier question. If it's not too personal I'd like to hear more about your experiences with IBS, Ad's and pregnancy. If it's too personal that's Ok, I understand.

I noticed you said your period had been non-existant for ages before your first pregnancy. Did you have a reason for this? Also, did you fall pregnant naturally then or were you undergoing fertility treatment. i am about to start some treatment and I'm scared about how this will affect my IBS.
Do you have regular periods now? And if so, did they just start that way after your baby was born? I find the only way i can achieve that is if I'm on the pill which of course is not an option when you want to be pregnant.

I would be grateful for any info you can give me. i really feel down in the dumps right now, what with my IBS acting up so badly and the added stress of trying to fall pregnant. At last count I have 9 pregnant friends surrounding me not to mention 3 newborns! I love them all dearly but it makes it so hard!

How was your IBS while you were pregnant?

Thanks for listening,
Kerrie
