My husband and I are wanting to extend our family again next year possibly. I have discussed it with my doctor, but I am getting the impression she isnt fond of going threw with another pregnancy. With my now 3 year old, things went very smoothly. Although he wasnt planned, I spend 8 months off gleevec, and my wbc count stayed the same until the last few months. At the highest it was around 40,000. at the time of conception I was not in remission, so my counts were not at a normal point to begin with. I feel like being 23yrs old now, I should be able to live my life how I would have wanted to with or without CML, but part of my feels as though I should be thankful enough to have experinced this once, and thats enough. I've always wanted two children, and it has never mattered to me boy or girl. Am I selfish for wanting more children? Does anyone know of medication that can be taken threw out the pregnancy thats isnt harmful to the unborn child? I think if I could find something to take during the pregnancy it might help easy my doctors concerns. I dont want another doctor, as she is the best doctor I could ask for, but I think on a more personal level she isnt fond of the whole pregnancy mainly because I might become gain a resitance to the medication or might not respond the same again. Plus its taken almost 2 years to get a response this time around with sprycel. As of this month I am finally in "remmission" like state with normal counts.
