if you are asking if a woman can get pregnent when she has HCV the answer is yes. Transmission to your child at birth is only around 5%.

Of course it would be better if you could treat first and try and rid yourself of the virus before having a child. Treating HCV while raising a child can be difficult because the harsh treatment drugs can be hard on a person.

Best of luck

I think many of us here were unaware of our hcv status when we were pregnant.  Most of us just thought we were healthy happy moms-to-be.

I didn't find out until 18 years later.  So, if your question is can you get pregnant if you have hcv...I would say yes as long as you are healthy enough otherwise.

Good luck to you.
