Can bacteria in your stomach cause you not to be pregnant?

Maybe..: Pubmed search reveals several articles from japan that suggest a causal relationship of h.Pylori to infertility. There may be a link between helicobacter & polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). Lastly, a 2011 study indicated a link between infection with caga-positive h. Pylori strains & an increase in women's potential to abort early (possibly through increased release of inflammatory cytokines).

No: The bacterial flora in your stomach have no relation to fertility in men or women.
