There is a link between altitude and fertility but depending how high you are and how long you have lived there, it shouldn't have that much of an impact. Are you from Colorado originally? If so, your body should be completely adjusted to the thinner air, whereas if you've only been there for a short while, it may well be impacting your fertility somewhat, although only temporarily. If I recall correctly, there is a threshold at which point the air is too thin for the body to sustain a pregnancy, but it's something really high like 12,000 or 14,000 feet above sea level (from memory, could be off somewhat on those numbers). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449537 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:36:59 +0000 Adira 2449537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@faithlove224: It's annoying if there actually IS a reason, but your doctors are not looking for it because they are blaming the asthma. I hope you find luck soon. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449524 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:32:12 +0000 Cherrybee 2449524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Utter rubbish IMHO! Whoever heard of that?</p> <p>FWIW, I have conceived easily three times (one was a CP) with asthma and I've never been very good at controlling it/ taking my medication. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449509 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:17:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2449509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my inhalers with both pregnancies and beforehand, we did have one MC and it took almost a year to get pregnant after it but I don't think asthma had anything to do with it, we're in the same location </p> <p>best wishes to you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449280 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 13:21:51 +0000 faithlove224 2449280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you everyone, @sweetcaroline I use albuterol as well and @adira I know I dont agree with it but that is what the docs are saying maybe they have no other reason, I still dont think it has any affect on fertility though just wanted to ask the question so I dont think about it as much :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449235 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 13:08:10 +0000 Adira 2449235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe I'm naive, but why would having asthma affect fertility? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449207 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:54:07 +0000 KT326 2449207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have asthma. I needed fertility treatments but only because I have other issues. My RE never even brought up my asthma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449202 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:50:56 +0000 macintosh 2449202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have asthma. I've never heard about that affecting fertility. We saw a fertility specialist for male factor infertility and he never mentioned it. I had my DS from out first try at IVF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449193 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:48:31 +0000 SweetCaroline 2449193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We conceived within a normal timeframe. I didn't have a real need to use asthma drugs during TTC frequently, but used my albuterol when necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asthma-while-ttc#post-2449182 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 12:44:49 +0000 faithlove224 2449182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has or had asthma when they were ttc and actually conceived and how long it took for them to concieve. I am currently ttc and my docs are saying that it is taking longer than usual because I have asthma and also because where I live the elevation is high. My asthma isnt extreme but for the past year I have not been taking my inhaler, I just started taking it recently after the doc advised me to do so. Everything else looks fine, I have had alot of testing done. I live in Colorado. </p>
