Bendectin usage and infertility in female offspring

In the late 70s I was prescribed Bendectin - an anti-nausea drug, taken during my first trimester in two pregnancies. Both of my daughters,now in their early 30s appear to be sterile with no diagnosed foundations. The only thing I can think of is this drug that was taken off the market in the 80s.  Anyone else out there with a similar thought?
Regards

I was given the drug Bendectine in 1973, 1976 and 1980.  Both my daughters have fertility issues.  My doctor for the 1980 (son) pregnancy hesitated giving me the drug because of results that showed some daughters of mothers that took the drug had fertility problems.  Sure enough  my daughters have the same exact problem and one actually had to go to a fertility clinic with the final success of triplets after 14 years.  My second daughter is taking the drug Clomid.  She has a daughter and is trying to get pregnant again but with difficulty.
