Has anyone gotten pregnant after a ruptured appendix?

My appendix ruptured when I was 17 years old and had to have immediate surgery. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks afterwards bcos they were worried bout me not passing gas.. But I was wondering if anyone on TTC has gotten preggie years after a rutured appendix?? I am 23 now and TTC and read that in an article bout "Pelvic Adhesions" "Pelvic adhesions are scars or fibrotic tissue that develops around the tubes, ovaries, bowel and the uterus. This could be the result of previous surgeries within the area. They could be the result of a ruptured appendix with abscess formation or endometriosis. Pelvic adhesions impact fertility by interfering with the ability of the fallopian tube to pick up the oocyte at the time of ovulation. Adhesions can be removed by laparoscopy or by laparotomy. In some cases the amount, characteristics and location of the adhesions may be such that the only alternative left is IVF."

1. My mom's appendix rutured before she got pregnant with me, my sister, and my brother. No problems at all.
2. My cousin went through this and they told her she couldn't have children. She has a beautiful little girl now who is about 6 months old. Good luck!
