I am so sorry for you, but you give me a peace of hope.
Indeed, I am searching information about CH and pregnancy for several weeks now.
I tried to find answers to a question my doctor is unable to answer me for the moment : WOULD I BE ABLE TO HAVE A BABY ONE DAY ?
Indeed, when I told my doctor, 3 weeks ago that I wanted to be pregnant, he told me that for the moment, it was impossible because of my treatment which is unsafe during pregnancy. This was a terrible choc for me and my friend because I could even not imagine that an other “health drama” could happened to me again (I get CH after a terrible car crash in which I had an important facial traumatism) .
So I went on this forum to send an “sos call” to find a woman who has been confronted to the same problem . But I did not find any answer. All the messages were only support messages which helped me a lot to keep hope.
My neurologist is still searching with other doctors an answer to my problem, I will let you know as soon as I will have any information about a safe treatment for pregnancy. For the moment I can’t help you I just can say that you are a brave woman, and that I know that this pain in inhumane but just thing that in several months you will be able to take meds and especially YOU WILL HAVE A BABY ! (sorry I am French and I don’t have the right words to explain my feelings)
Please send me a mail to give me advices for pregnancy.
All my support
Cécile.
