The women with inflammatory Bowel Disease and Motherhood: A Prospective Registry
This is a prospective questionnaire study that will examine the impact of IBD and its surgical treatments on fertility in women with IBD of reproductive age (18-45). Women with IBD who are attempting to get pregnant within the next year will answer questionnaires about their general, surgical and reproductive health, conception history and sexual partner information. This will help identify risk factors predictive of fertility outcomes and early fetal loss, determine time to conception, and assess efficacy of fertility services including in vitro fertilization.
