Encouraging news for recovered bulimics - Eating-Disorders Update
Shape, March, 2003 by Karen J. Bannan
Women who suffer from bulimia don't harm their long-term chances for pregnancy, says a recent study in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Fertility levels, which drop if a woman is actively bingeing and purging, return to normal once she is in recovery. "The infertility rate for study participants was basically the rate you'd expect for the general population," says Scott J.
Crow, M.D., an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis-St. Paul. "This finding makes us very encouraged that in the long run it doesn't look like (a history of] bulimia gets in the way of becoming pregnant."
