Hello Stella. Welcome to the forum. To begin, it is important to know that you are not alone in this struggle to conceive. About ten percent of the population has faced infertility. The consequences of anorexia is amenorrhea. That is an abnormal absence of menstruation. The body recognizes that is does not have the necessary nutrients to support a developing baby, and the body will cease to ovulate. Once menstruation has started again in the woman with anorexia, her chances of conceiving become much higher. If it is still difficult for you and your partner to conceive after weight restoration and normal menses, it may be necessary for you to see a reproduction specialist. There may be other reproductive issues, either with you or your partner that may play a part in your difficulty to conceive. Many medical interventions exist today that help support your decision to have a baby, including hormonal therapy and in vitro fertilization. It is also good to be aware that some woman may in fact ovulate before the return of their menses, which can lead to the opportunity for conception prior to having a period. I hope I helped you somehow. I have a sister who had that issue. Don't worry, you will get through it.

First of all, congratulations to you for getting your eating disorders under control! That’s a major accomplishment. It takes a lot of courage and willpower to fight withan eating disorder.I believe you will win a big battle.Women with anorexia would be unlikely to conceive. However, fertility rates in women with a lifetime history of anorexia do not differ from women in the general population. If you get through your eating disorder you have a chance to get pregnant as anyone else. By putting your condition behind you, you’re one step closer to priming your body for a healthy pregnancy. You’d be facing a far less optimistic prognosis if you hadn’t conquered it. As many as 75 to 80 percent of women will go on to conceive after being successfully treated for an eating disorder. Be honest with your doctor about your past. It is better that you tell him everything. He must know to be able determine the cause. Take care of yourself. Health is important for you and for a possibility to get pregnant.

Thank you for the explanation. You gave me hope. I will try to defeat my enemies. One is anorexia, the other is infertility. One of you mentioned a special clinic and ivf treatment. Can you tell me something about it. If it would be needed I will consider other options. I don't want to lose a chance to have a baby. If there is anything I can do, I will do it. No matter what I will fight. I have a great reason for it. My biggest wish is to have a 2 or more kids. After all this troubles I will be very happy to succeed even just for one time. I want to hold my baby in arms. I dream about it all the time. That gave me strength.

I am so happy that you are a strong young lady. With all you have been through it's tough to find more strength to deal with infertility. I will tell you about BioTexCom clinic in Ukraine. This is a special clinic for infertility. I was infertile for several years. I was searching for something that will hel me. I found out about this clinic. First, I send tthem an email. They contact me fast after that. Me and my husband went there. After checkup we started with ivf. Result came soon after that. I want you to experience that feeling when you hold your baby in arms. Wish you all the luck. Stay that positive like you are now.

Thank you again Katty. I want to have as many options as possible. I don't want to lose time. First I will talk to my doctor. I will do all tests. Then it would be easier to decide what to do. I am strong because I have great reason to fight. My friends and family are supporting me. And your support means a lot to me. I have a great husband. He is always there for me. He was with me when it was so difficult to get up in the morning. All I need to complete my happiness is a child. And I will fight for it.

Stella, my dear, what is the reason of eating disorder? Are you taking the treatment for it? I think you need to healthy to live a balanced life. You cannot say that eating disorder is the reason of why you cannot get pregnant. It might be a reason but you need to confirm it with the doctor first. Please do not stress yourself. Consulting doctor is the best option. I would suggest you go to a doctor as soon as possible so that the reason for not being able to get pregnant can be identified. May Jesus ease your pain.

Hey Stela. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you are facing. Like you pointed out, eating disorder isn't something that you can just get rid of and I can see how it must be making it hard for you to conceive. Even if you do get pregnant, your situation could result in complications during pregnancy too. This is because of your eating disorder, you might not be able to provide the proper nourishment for the baby. I would suggest you make sure you are taking care of your eating disorder first. How is your mensturation cycle going? Surrogacy can be a good option for you other than adoption but have you consulted your doctor about it?

I hope you are soon able to recover. I will suggest that you visit a doctor for your problem. It might not be due to this problem solely. Therefore, getting tests done is important. I myself an eating disorder patient, however, my problem was further deteriorated because of the poor ovarian reserve. Good luck to you. I hope things get better. Visit a reknown clinic for your process.

I am sorry to read this. I think therapy is extremely important for you. I am not sure if this is safe for the baby as well. However, visit a specialist and get your tests done as well. Just to ensure that there isn't an additional problem apart from this. The specialist will really help you and give you honest advice. Also, start keeping yourself super busy. Make sure to eat food that consists of nutrition. Just know that things will get better. I myself was diagnosed with endometriosis 4rth stage. It was the worst period of my life. I thought nothing would work for us. We had opted for IUI cycles as well as IVF and they all failed. Decided to give IVF another try but I was told I wasn't a candidate for it. Now we have opted for surrogacy hoping that that will work.
