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.

Links to other information sources and studies are few, any insight appreciated.

My first daughter has had a miscarriage and now is not ovulating. I was looking at this site to find out information and found nothing. I know that in the early 80's there was an article that discribed my problem related to DES and I was able to convince my doctor to take it seriously. Where do we go now to find out more??

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.

I came looking for information about this drug, I too am a DES baby. I have had difficulties with my health related to this drug and want and need information. This site offers no help or information of any type. Unfortunate but this drug has had long reaching effects on the offpring of women who were given this drug for the prevention of miscarriage.
