Update about my Doctor's appointment on Friday
I did not want to search my page so I started anew one so here it goes:Update
Ok so here is the deal, The doctor said that he wants me to go for a 48 hour eeg and a MRI for my brain, even though i had not had a seizure for 36 years they want to see inside of my brain for the MRI and do the 48 hour to see there is no seizure activity what so ever, which i know there isn't because maybe just maybe i can get off my medicine, but to tell you the truth i dont think i want too he also said that I would be more of a higher risk because of my age than because of my medicine to have a baby. I have to start taking as of today Folic acid and Calcium with vitamin D, also he wants me to look into a high Risk obstetrician so when i do get Pg i will have one. But overall everything went well and now i can be nervous about the MRI test.Thank you to all for listening.

Re: Update about my Doctor's appointment on Friday
good luck!
i have a friend who recently found out she has epilepsy....she'd been having seizures for YEARS in her sleep and had no idea - so i think it's a great idea to get the tests done to see if there is any activity. You might not even know when you're having seizures....which is pretty scary.

Re: Update about my Doctor's appointment on Friday
What did he say about you TTC?
Would you be able to remain on your medication if you get PG?
If you come off of your meds, will you be at a higher risk for recurring seizures?
does your medical condition have genetic/ hereditary risks that may affect the baby if you get PG?
is your Dr. concerned about hormonal changes during pregnancy?
what about physiological changes during labor?
I'm glad to hear that he's doing that EEG... like Lori said... it's possible to have seizures and not even be aware that they're happening. I know you're anxious about TTC, but please listen to your Dr.'s concerns and advice, and do your research about all of the possible risks and/ or complications regarding your condition and how it would be affected by pregnancy. There are many factors to be taken into consideration, Ro.

Dh asked that question if i had a baby would the baby inherit my seizures and he said no because that would only happen if both parents had them. The doctor also said that he wants me to take the 48 hour eeg and MRI to see if there is any seizure activity and the MRI to see if my Brain is ok this will all determine about me coming off the medicine and if i do come off i could not drive for six months but that is only up to me if i want too, which seriously I dont,he said the medicine wouldn't hurt the baby i am more of a high risk because of my age and a lower risk because of my medicine.he has me on vitamins now to help me so when i do get pregnant it would help the hormone changes also i am getting a high risk obyn now i have to change my doctor which i am fine with.overall he said i can ttc but i have to be watched.
