I am new to the board and when I read this post it hit home. I am unsure that my mother tood DES but I have been asked many many times. See I have a birth defect called Brachydactyly type B. When I was pregnant I had complications. I went into labor at 30 weeks. They stopped it but I was on bed rest. When I was in the hospital the Drs kept asking me if my mother took DES. She dont remember taking it but she does remember when she first got pregnant with me she was spotting. The Dr gave her a couple of pills and told her that if she was pregnant the spotting would stop. Any way After my second child I switched Drs and was DX with an incompitant cervix. The Dr put me on rest when I was 29 weeks and I didnt go into preterm labor. The dr has put me on Ortho lo. I am afraid to take it now. What is the deal with BCP and DES? |
