Coeliac and infertility

[Kaybee]

Hi - I'm a forum virgin here, so please go easy on me. I have just been reading about coeliac disease and infertility on here and wondered if anyone knew what was involved in being tested. I have been TTC for 12months this time around with 3 FET cycles (so far!) which have all ended in tears and my DS is 2 now after 2 years of TTC and one successful IVF cycle. I just don't want to take time out from TTC for testing if that's what's involved and was thinking of starting a gluten free diet anyway - just in case. Was hoping for any advice or tips. Ahhh - just want to do something that might get this show on the road!

Hi Kaybe

I have been doing ICSI for 3 years and my levels have been getting better since going to a Natural Therapist in Perth she told me to stay of bread and pasta but try and see someone that will get your dietery requirements correct so if you have this it will help if you see a Natural Medical Clinic and a person that is a member of the Australian Natural Thearapists Association and that has experince with infertility, this really made a differance with all my hormones. I was suprised on how well that my next bloods came up..
I am currently doing a frozen cylce an in WA you are not alowed by law to do a fresh cycle if you have more than 4 frozen embryos..
Good luck and any support you need, just give a yell...best wishes

Thanks Lucie,

Have just made an appointment with a naturopath / acupuncturist who specialises in infertility and women's stuff - so I am holding very high hopes for her. Thanks so much for your info & advice. Best of luck with your frozen cycle (mine starts as soon as AF arrives)!
