Does anyone have Panhypopituitarism or is missing their pituitary gland, and have you gotten pregnant?

I am looking to get pregnant, but I had my pituitary removed when I was 13 due to a tumor. I take replacement hormone medication, and know my body does not naturally produce the hormones required to get pregnant, so I would need some sort of infertility treatment. I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there who's like me who's had a successful pregnancy. I just want to know if it's possible!

    I have Panhypopituitarism as well do to radiation therapy treatment that I had for a Brain Tumor when I was 10. I also have to take replacement hormones as well. Unfortunately, I have not gotten pregnant yet. I am currently looking into infertility treatment. I was told by my reproductive endocrinologist that I could get pregnant through Ovulation Stimulation with injectable Gonadotropins (FSH & LH) or IVF. I'm currently saving up for this because my insurance does not cover this. I've been doing a lot of studying on this as well. This link gives you some more information on the infertility treatment required. http://www.anthem.com/ca/medicalpolicies/guideline... Good Luck
