In October of 2005 I had the first of 3 surgeries to have my entire large intestine and rectum removed. I had a temporary colostomy bag, but march of 2006 i had that taken down, and now i have an ileal pouch, or whatever it is called, where my small intestine is used as my rectum. My question is this: CAN I GET PREGNANT still? will it be hard? What will some of the complications be?

Yes you can get pregnant still, and it will not be any harder. Your intestines are part of your digestive system, which has nothing to do with getting pregnant. The egg is in your uterus, not your intestines.
