Did your mother take Diethylstilbestrol (DES) while pregnant with you?

My mother started to take DeS when she started spotting after 4 months of pregnancy & continued it until I was born. I have had so many health problems related to DES: breast cancer & CIN/carcinoma in situ of the cervix. My perimenopause started at 36. I was born with a redundant bowel & absence of my posterior communicating artery in my brain. I feel like being exposed to this endocrine disrupter has caused metabolic issues with calcium. I am a super kidney stone maker (>25) & have had multiple fractures from calcium depleted bones

@alakatski Wow. You've endured much. DES wreaked havoc on so many lives. I don't think we will ever know how many of our struggles were due to DES. It's heartwrenching. God bless.
