Mitral Valve Prolapse

Mitral Valve Prolapse

I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and trace mitral valve regurgitation about two years ago.  My doctors usually can not even hear the prolapse or the regurg, so it is fairly minor.  I was wondering if it is ok for me to start a family with my husband.  Are there any extra risks associated with having MVP?

Also, does anyone happen to know how often the regurg worsens to cause major problems?  I am a little concerned about this because it is my heart!  Thanks for all of your help.
