Risk of infertility among women with sickle cell disease.
August 20, 2026 · Fertility and sterility
Key takeaway
Black women with sickle cell may have more trouble getting pregnant. This matters because it highlights the importance of discussing fertility with your doctor if you have sickle cell, especially if you plan to have children.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in hematology helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
