I went to the doctors today because i have
been off the pill since june 2004 and i
still havent got pregnant,i have had three
pregnancys one in 1998 which i miscarried
and had to have a DNC because i have got O
neg blood and my husband O pos,which lesd
to me having lost the baby.
I started trying for a baby straight away
but didnt become pregnant till august 1999
having my son may 2000,later having my
second son in june 2002 having no
problems,i then had an laparosopie in oct
2003 because of suspected endometreosis
which i didnt have so that was a waste of
time i also have been told i have
perinisus anemia and had to have six
injections within 2 weeks because my body
really needed a boost of vitmin b12 and
was told i have to have one injection
every 3 months for the rest of my life
that was in 2002 but having been back to
the doctors countless time and having
given blood every couple of months i have
never had one since. B ut after talking to
the doctor about not becoming pregnant she
seemed to think it was because of my
anemia and taken yet more blood but i dont
understand why i would,nt get pregnant
because of my perinisus anemia?? does this
mean i cant ever get pregnant again???

Infertility Answer A140 Posted: 01-18-06 16:45pm
If your pernicious anemia is under control
(by taking Vitamin B12 regularly), it
doesn't appear that anemia is causing
infertility. You shouldn’t try to become
pregnant, however, until your blood exams
become normal (and the anemia is under
control). If you do become pregnant, you
will probably experience difficulties
bringing the fetus to term. To identify
the reason(s) for your infertility, you
may need to take several gynecological
examinations: a colposcopy, Pap-smear,
vaginal smear, a serology to detect
possible STD(s), an ultrasound of the
uterus and ovaries, hormonal analyses
(FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone,
testosterone, DHEA, prolactin, thyroxin),
a HCG, and a laparoscopy will together
help you and your gynecologist understand
what is causing infertility.
