Hi there, <div>I'm a little surprised that none of the women have replied to this yet so I'll do my best to answer.</div><div>Have you spoken to your doctor about this subject yet? If not, then I highly recommend that you do so. From what I know and what my transplant clinic has told me is that pregnancy after TX is extremely risky. Very few woman have been able to conceive and deliver. Studies show that the woman who actually did go through pregnancy went into rejection at least 2 years after the birth. This is because you CAN NOT continue with anti-rejection medication during pregnancy. It's harmful to the unborn fetus. Therefore, if you think about it, you're really harming yourself. Another factor that can contribute is stress on the body. Raising a baby is not easy, obviously. I can't imagine how demanding it would be for a CF mother. It's very important to take care of yourself as well as your child. In my personal opinion, it's not worth the risk. Have you thought about other options such as adoption or surrogacy?</div><div><br></div><div>I hope I helped you at least a little bit.</div><div><br></div><div>hugs to you</div><div><br></div><div><3</div>

Hey, I know and heard of a few woman who have had successful pregnancies after a transplant. They are all doing great. Unfortunatly, there are is not enough information out there yet, since transplantation of the lungs is farely new. My doctors told me that it would be fine to try, you live once..Also, you can still be on rejection medicine, they might just switch some things around. No one should live by statistics, but by your own self.
