@ffr After writing that comment I double checked on the internet. It appears there is NO definitive risk for grandchildren of DES users. Sorry for the misinformation. I’ll research before posting in the future.

@suzanne48864 True, from the studies but if you review the 2 editions of Voices of the DES-Exposed Speaking out published by DES Info Association, linkages can be seen. Email DES411@gmail.com if you wish to review these documents.

I read that that there have been some studies about grandchildren of DES women. There have been some trends noted from male genital issues at birth to ADHD, but the studies have been very small so not definitive. I thought you meant that the younger sibling of the baby who was in utero when the mom took DES might have medical issues (possibly due to any residual medication in the mom’s body or changes in her body chemistry or DNA). But I haven’t found anything that supports that.
