New Celiac Pregnancy Scarey!

Well I am happy in a way that I finally found out what is going on with me, and why I have felt this way for years now. The only crappy thing is that I know have to wait to get the biopsy done before I can start the gluten free diet. I have a consultation with the surgeon on tuesday april 1st, and then who knows when the actual biopsy will be. I actually went shopping yesterday and bought some gluten free food, because I was so sick the past few days, I do feel a bit better but still very tired all the time and a lot of headaches.

The thing that made me the most mad about this whole experience was my doctor, who told me that I should continue to try and concieve, she knew that I would not be on the gluten free diet until after my biopsy and she didn't even bother to check my vitamin levels to see if I was deficiant in anything. Obviously she didn't know anything about how this can effect babies ie miscarriages, pre-mature babies and many other things. Doctors really scare me now, after I got online and starting reading everything about waiting until your gluten free to get pregnant and waiting until your insides heal so you can absorb nutirients better, I was shocked!! So we've decided to wait, and I am glad we did, unless there is some chance that I cannot have kids, which looks like that is what happens with a lot of celiac women, pretty scary, actually.

I don't think you should be overly worried about infertility. Personally, I do think there is a link between celiac disease and infertility, but, IMO, it is rare. My Mom has celiac disease and had four kids, no miscarriages, no problems. I had two kids with no miscarriages or problems. All children were normal birth weight and healthy (except for celiac disease). And I conceived at the drop of a hat - didn't even have to "try" at all. It was just, "Oh, let's have a baby...OK!" Boom, I was pregnant. :lol:

Thank-you!!!!!!!
That makes me feel alot better, I am just worried, you read so much on the internet about other peoples experiences, also we tried for 3 months before I found out I was celiac with no luck, so It just crosses my mind though. It is great to hear your experience it defiantly gives me hope. Thanks again!
