    Trying to understand and spread the word about the correlation between infertility and Celiac Disease. I plan to tell all my doctors, contact everyone I can, preach it on my blog, tell whoever will listen- TEST for celiac disease if you are not getting pregnant.

About Me

-Started TTC 4 yrs ago on my 30th bday. Unexplained infertility. 7 IVFs with my own eggs, 3 more IVFs with either donor eggs, surrogate or both.

-4 miscarriages including a devastating one at 20 weeks.

-Dx with Celiac Disease via bloodwork, endoscopy, biopsies, gene panel, January, 2010.

-Was told this was why we lost our son at 20 weeks; told to go gluten free asap and try again in 6 months.

-Very active in the infertility world, have lobbied in DC twice for infertility healh insurance, adoption tax credit, etc.

-celiac disease testing will now be my new crusade. If fertility docs test for other autoimmune diseases in their workups, WHY are they not testing for this??

  1. wishes I knew I had celiac disease before the 10 IVFs and 4 miscarriages....
