Advanced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapies before conception are not associated with increased time to pregnancy in women with IBD. Previous pelvic surgery has been associated with delayed conception. The study was presented at a meeting in Las Vegas, according to MedPage Today. Exposure to these therapies before conception does not affect the length of time you wait to become pregnant. Conversely, pelvic surgery leads to a longer time to pregnancy. A key finding confirms the safety of advanced fertility therapies. Thus, women with IBD can use these treatments without fear of delaying pregnancy.
