  1. Is it possible that since my mother was administered DES while pregnant with me that it would cause me to go thru early menopause at 36, on a natural basis?

  2. I am a DES daughter. That has been confirmed. I spent both pregnancies in bed. What happened to research? I later developed Hodgkins Lymphoma. Is there any relationship?

    1. I’m a DES son and had Pituitary tumour in 2001. I do rank as a vary high chance that it was caused by DES but only one doctor has said ‘It may well be so’, he was a brave young doctor.
