Having Trouble Getting Pregnant Nurse Bridgid

Hello Heidi. I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble conceiving. It took us a year of trying to get pregnant with our first. I have 2 children (conceiving them age 23 and 25). I was not on Colchicine at the time of conception. I'm not saying I know anything about this quesiton I am about to ask you, but has anyone thought Colchicine could be contributing in any way. I was told in 2005 at the time of my diagnosis that I should not get pregnant while taking COlchicine. This was by an Infectious Disease doctor at Mayo Clinic.
I tested again in the morning and got a very pink second line on two different tests. My husband had already left for work, so I called him to tell him the news. He was shocked to say the least and demanded that I try a “real” test. I was so nervous and flustered, I was shaking and couldn’t focus on getting ready for work. I knew I was going to be late regardless so I ran to CVS to buy another test. That test came back negative and my husband’s reaction was “That’s good!”
If you have RA and decide you want to start a family, you probably won’t have any more trouble getting pregnant than other women. As many as one in five couples have difficulty conceiving, regardless of any known medical condition. Although some studies show that women with RA have fewer children than otherwise healthy women, that may represent a choice to limit family size rather than a reduced ability to conceive or carry a baby to term. A 2006 study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found that women with diagnosed with RA before the birth of their first child had the fewest pregnancies and children.
For most people, being “too fit” is no concern at all But there is some evidence that professional athletes and bodybuilders could have some trouble getting pregnant. These women can indeed be “too fit to get pregnant”. A study conducted by researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston found how to increase chances of getting pregnant that up to a quarter of all female High School athletes were not menstruating. In comparison, only two to five percent of the general population had the same problem. Amenorrhea , the medical term for a lack of menstruation, can be the result of both intense physical training and restricted calorie intake.
