Hi Robin,

I am a DES daughter. My mother was given DES to prevent miscarriage, because it took her about 7 years to get pregnant with me. I have had almost every DES symptom there is.

My mom took DES when she was pregnant with my sister. My mom and I have both had bc, but my sister hasn't, yet. It also runs on my mom's side of the family... I was the 12th person to get bc.

Hi Ladies, at least you know of your family's DES history and can watch out for bc. Think of all the women out at increased risk who don't even know their other took DES. Very sad.

Robin,

I was a DES daughter. I had 3 miscarriages and i thought it might be due to that.

I am a DES daughter and my sister who died of breast cancer is a DES daughter. I also have three pregnancies and only one was successful. The first, I lost the baby at 7 1/2 months. The second was my son, he is 21 now and my third pregnancy, i lost the baby at 4 1/2 months. No known cause of death both times.
