Hi everyone, I don't post often, but just wanted to share my experience with people who many be trying to conceive but have not been successful. In July I went in for my yearly colonoscopy. I almost skipped it because I felt great and was having no symptoms. I was shocked when my gi told me I was still very inflamed. She suspected I was not getting pregnant because of the high level of inflammation in my body. We had been trying for over 8 months. She suggested I try remicade. I really hesitated because I didn't want to go that route especially since I wasnt having symptoms. I decided to try it and after my third infusion, I got pregnant!
By the way, I thought I didn't have symptoms before the remicade, but I guess I was just used to the way I felt. After the second infusion I felt totally different. Almost like I was in a different body. All my joint pain which I had grown accustomed to was gone.
Anyway, just wanted to post in case anyone out there has been trying to get pregnant. Maybe remicade is an option.
