CML and pregnancy

Hi all

I just wanted to post my news - having been diagnosed in January 2005, I am pleased to say I am now 12 weeks pregnant with our first baby. When I was diagnosed, one of my big concerns was whether I would ever be able to start a family, so I wanted to let anyone in the same position know that it is possible! I started on Glivec and I am now on interferon, with the intention of going back to Glivec once my baby is born.

Hope everyone is doing well,
Anna

Hi Anna,
That's great news and makes me hopeful too as I am 28 and was
Dx April 2009 and I was 8 weeks pregnant lost the baby but since
Then have been wondering when it will happen again for me and how?
My doc has said I've got plenty of time and not think about it a couple
Of years yet, my results aren't zero the are .023% have remained the
Same for the last 3 times I'm on 600mg glivec dosage. What were your
Results? Did u have to be zero? Did u do ivf? How old r u if u don't mind
Me asking, sorry so many questions as I haven't been able to find much
Info.
Thanks patrice

Hi Patrice

Sorry, just noticed your questions! I am 36 years old, was dx when I was 31. I did have several cycles of IVF but was not successful, this pregnancy was all natural, which was a lovely surprise! I was (and still am) at zero.

Good luck and if you have any more questioons, let me know.

Anna

Dear Anna, 

many congratulations and thank you for sharing this as it will encourage other women that it is possible to have children by changing therapy from TKI to Interferon for the duration of the pregnancy.

Best wishes,

Sandy
