I have had 2 children and I am full of adhesions. The doctors told me I couldn't get pregnant, and it would be dangerous to my health if I did. When I got pregnant with the first attempt I was thrilled. I was then told that I may have to spend most of my pregnancy in the hospital. I did not. When my son was 6 months old, my husband and I started to try for #2. We made our daughter on our first attempt at her. My bowels preformed perfectly for the first time in my life while pregnant, and continued to be healthy for 5 years after. The adhesions have now come back and my children are 7 & 8. The doctors don't know everything and the best they can do is educated guessing. If your body doesn't want you pregnant it wil not get pregnant. If you are menstrating you are ovulating and if your ovulating your body can get pregnant. ( that a pretty general statement and not 100% based in science) Good luck!
