Hi mana11,
I am not exactly sure what you are asking. Are you pregnant now? Wondering if you can get pregnant?
I wanted to let you know that there are no doctors on this forum - we are just women over 35 who are pregnant or are trying to conceive. There is an "ask the experts" section of the site, where you can ask your question to a doctor. There is a fee, but many women have gotten great feedback there.
I can tell you that you pregnancy when you have epilepsy is possible, but you need to be followed very carefully by your doctors, and you need to discuss all of the treatment options, such as medication. Most doctors advise staying on medications as having a seizure when pregnant can decrease oxygen to the baby. There is a small increased rate of seizure in pregnancy, likely related to hormonal and metabolic changes. Again, I am not a medical doctor - I am only a neuropsychologist (and I mainly work with children) and this is information I have learned from neurologists I work with. You really need to consult with your neurologist and gynecologist. Good luck.
