I too am trying to find information about long term health effects from my mother taking this drug while carring me. I have too many heath issues to list. I also have a son with a very rare blood disorder and no answers as to how it happened. He is the first in the family to get this. It is frustrating to say the least.

My Mother took DES when pregnant with me (she was over 40 and had history of several miscarriages), not sure if she took it with my brother 2 years before me. I was never able to have children, had hysterectomy at 24, lots of other female problems. My brother has kids and we would like to know some experiences of how it may have affected the next generation. He has MS and lots of respiratory troubles. Links to other information sources and studies are few, any insight appreciated.

I am disappointed that there is no follow up information on the long-term effects this drug has on the children of mothers given DES to prevent miscarriage. I am a female with high androgen levels and one of my daughters is having problems with irregular cycles and has a dermoid cyst and I wanted to find out if these things could be the result of my mother taking DES when she was pregnant with me.
