We have been trying for a baby

I am young and was diagnosed with Nash f2. We have been trying for a baby is this something we should keep trying for. Has anyone had Nash and still had a baby

Hi Living

a lot of women with NASH have had babies. Most didn't know that they had the disease so you are ahead of the game in that respect. One thing to understand is that the liver makes a lot of hormones and if it is struggling a lot of things like fertility can be affected. It is a question that needs to be taken to a hepatologist since it is a complex problem and everyone's journey is different but people who have been able to manage the disease through diet and exercise to give the organ a chance to stabilize have seen a variety of problems improve. No one out here can really advise you about pregnancy but we certainly wish you well.

Thank you!! I do have PCOS so haveing children has been hard but I do have two little girls..... but yes we started trying for another baby back in 2017 and that’s when they did bloodwork and my liver enzymes where elevated..... so I went for a biopsy and found out I had Nash early stages....

Most people don't know that PCOS is a comorbid condition of NASH your hepatologist and your gynecological need to work closely together

I have been doing a lot of research and am realizing that PCOS is a big factor.....
