I have EDS type three and my husband and I have spent two years discussing whether or not I should conceive. We've thought through the health concerns for me and baby and we finally decided we want to try. I'm on my first round of clomid this month. I haven't been able to find many other women who have EDS and are TTC or already have a child to compare notes with and I wonder what resources are out there for people with EDS who have families or are TTC.
My EDS can be pretty bad sometimes. I've just finished a round of physical therapy which has helped some but a lot of my joints are very loose and shift around causing global chronic pain. I also have arthritis, spondylolisis and spondylolithesis which are associated with the EDS. I have a great perinatologist and obgyn who are aware of my health issues and are working with me to do what is safest for both me and my potential baby.
My husband and I want a family and like I said, we've thought a lot about what to do. I'd just really like to connect with someone who has had to go through the same decision. If anyone knows of other forum threads or books or anything that might help me out, I'd really appreciate it!
Only a few more days until I can test to see if the clomid did the trick this round!
Thanks!
Jenna
