My mom is still here and she really didn't know too much about it or possible side effects that she never said nething when I was having all my female issues.
I did read that males can be affected as well.
I will PM u a link to more info.

Hi Selma
I didnt have any problems getting pregnant. We have three children.
My eldest brother deceased 1993 had testicular cancer. I only just found out my mother had a misscarriage before he was born so I can assume she had DES to have my brother.
I was told she had 4 misscarriages but she passed away in 1995 so am unable to confirm this.
My other brother died in 1993 but not due to cancer etc
I believe but cant confirm both brothers had fertility problems
She may or may not have had DES for me but she told me she was given medication to prevent misscarriages. I now wish I had asked her more questions

Hi...I am a DES Daughter...I had difficulties getting pregnant..and other female issues such as premature ovarian failure.
I do not know alot about it, but it appears to affect the female offspring more than males and it is now considered to be affecting the granddaughters as well.
I know there is another MH member that has this issue I believe we crossed paths in the thyroid forum.
If u r interested in talking on this please fee free to PM me.
