Hi Wendy,

there are certainly many women who have become pregnant after uterine suspension procedures. As a matter of fact, the only thing related to this procedure that I can think of that might interfere with your fertilty would be either formation of scar tissue within the abdomen or (less likely) kinking of the tubes in some way. Did you have to have an abdominal incision for this procedure, or was it done through the laparoscope? Have you had trouble getting pregnant, or were you just wondering if it would cause you to have trouble?
