this ? is about my sister in law who has had 2 IVFs that have failed. the last time she had IVF she had 4 good eggs implanted,  she has crohns disease and she told her doctor who seemed to think that would not be a problem. can this in anyway be affecting her changes of conception? should she go to a different doctor who is more familiar with crohn the next time she try IVF? Just thought I might ask to see if I could help.  I would appercaite the help thanks so much and good luck to you all

Your sister has an inflamatory bowel disease.  Inflamatory proteins can inhibit formatin of an adhesion molecule felt to be important for embryo implantation.  For more information on the topic, I invite you to see the information on our web page, <www.texasfertility.com>.  If the fallopian tubes are picking up inflamatory proteins form the bowel in the body cavity, it could, in theory, impair her ability to become pregnant.  She may wish to use a gestational carrier.
Good luck to her.
