Since so many seem to be fairly young that visit this board, I was wondering. My mom may have taken a drug known as DES (diethylstilbestrol - a synthetic estrogen) which can cause the child of a pregnant woman to not be able to have children. I know 3 girls who's mom did take the drug and none of them are able to have children. As I have researched it seems that DES may also cause an increased risk for Breast Cancer. The drug was given to women to help prevent early contractions. It was used from 1930's to the late 1960's. Does anyone know if your mom took DES while pregnant?
I don't blame my mom...if she hadn't taken the medicine I would never have been here. I started trying to come into this world in late Nov. and I wasn't due until late April.
Hugs and Smiles,
Angela
