Hi, sorry haven't heard too much about pregnancy after an organ transplant..... Please ask your doctor(s). Did you ever see the movie,"Steel Magnolia's"? I wish you all the best. Take care, and God bless. Mike

Well, I had a bone marrow transplant 10 years ago. I had to undergo high dose chemotherapy and as a result I can no longer conceieve naturally. I have undergone 1 IVF cycle & got pregnant. I miscarried at 10 weeks. I was told it had nothing to do with my transplant. My doc said that it will happen, I will carry a baby to term.

I would just make sure your docs all talk to one another & that you are being seen by them all frequently. You should also have genetic testing done & meet with a perinatologist when you decide to start trying.

Good luck & God Bless you in your journey!

Hi, it's been almost 4 years since my live donor kidney transplant (i'm 32) & i've been told that my levels are currently really stable & if i wanted to try for another baby then it would be quite safe for me to do so..you have to be on the right medication so that it's safe for your baby which currently isn't a problem with me as i'm on alot less tablets than i was after the op & all are safe to take during pregnancy..however a couple of years ago the thought of changing my tablets so that i could have another baby was quite daunting as i didn't want to risk upsetting things as they were going so well ~ i probably won't be trying for another now anyway as my son is 8 & we're all quite settled as we are, but it's nice to know the option's there if i ever change my mind.

I would definately speak to your consultants & just see what their opinion is & whether they think it's safe for you & what would be involved to get your medication right & safe for pregnancy..i was told all being well it's not too big a problem these days if your kidneys working well & as long as they keep a close eye on you (as they did when i had my son & was suffering with chronic renal failure before my op..) take care & good luck & if you have any questions please don't hesitate to message me ! hel :D

Hi. I became preg. with my first child a few months shy of the 2yr anniversary of my liver transplant...I have 3 children now. Everything went fine, other than the second child weighing almost eleven pounds...i was diagnosed with gestational diabetes with the third baby...all children are fine.

I don't know what kind of transplant you have had. I had a kidney transplant in '88 and am now 35. I am trying to get pregnant with the support of my nephrologist. My kidney function is stable (creatinine at 2.3), my BP is normal and I don't have diabetes.

I found this article you may like to read:

I have also received stats from the National Transplantation Pregnancy Registry(NTPR) that are very encouraging. You will be considered a high risk pregnancy and will have to be monitored more closely. Your meds may also need to be adjusted. But there is no reason why we can't have children, if the doctors give the green light. God bless you. I wish you the best. I see that you are 33. I am 35 so the question of pregnancy and fertility is definitely often on my mind.

thank you for the link to this atrticle,which i read with interest,we have given up on the idea of having a child together,not so much because of my health and transplant,but because we are lucky enough to have 4 healthy children and we are just now getting some us time.
Thanks again and good luck x

I had a heart transplant on September 3, 2006. My cardiologists told me that another child was definitely not in my future. Good thing I have a beautiful 5 year old daughter!

You really need to talk with your docs but my daughter was told no way. She had a double lung transplant at 11 yrs old and is now 17 and very healthy. We were told pregnancy interferes with her medications levels and some meds can affect the baby. We being the eternal obtimists believe this will change by time she is ready after all she wasn't going to live very long and she proved that wrong. It may depend on the organ, etc. Good luck!!

Hi. I had a kidney transplant 4 years ago, and I am now 8 1/2 months pregnant w/ a little girl. My kidney has not suffered at all during the pregnancy.

I am of course considered a high risk pregnancy. I go to the doctor twice a week right now...but my little one is worth it.

A friend of mine who also had a kidney tranplant a few years ago, gave birth to a baby boy last week!!

Hope I helped.

I had my k/p transplant almost 8 years ago and we have been trying to conceive for the last 6 years. During that time we have had 4 miscarriages, the last one being not quite a month ago. We have a 10 year old son so I was fertile at one time but they can't find anything that is causing the m/c s. If you do try, make sure you are not taking Cellcept. It is known to cause trouble with implantation, miscarriage, and malformations in babies. I have heard of a number of success stories though, so it is very possible. We are still trying.

I had a kidney transplant in April, 2004. I gave birth to my daughter on May 2nd, she is not almost 3 months old! She was born a month early, which is not uncommon for mom's who have had kidney transplant. She has more than doubled her size since her birth! She is healthy and doing very well!
