Gastroschisis

I was born in 1984.  My parents had no idea that there was anything wrong with me until I was born.  The doctor just looked at me because he had no idea what to do.  Until now as an adult I have not had any problems.  My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for over a year now.  We went to a fertility doctor and last week we found out that we would need to have IVF to get pregnant.

The doctor discovered that because of my Gastroschisis at birth I have too much scar tissue in abdomen.  My uterus is pushed to one side, one fallopian tube is blocked and the other is squished.  I am wondering if anyone else has had fertility troubles as an adult because of Gastroschisis?
