Hi,
Women with cirrhosis often have menstrual cycles without ovulation or they may not have menstrual periods at all, limiting their chances of becoming pregnant.
So consult your gynecologist regarding your mesntrual cycles and check whether you have normal ovulation .
If you have normal ovulation, then there are many other factors like portal hypertension which will decide the outcome.
