:oops; so i'm just curious to see if anyone out there has been in my position. My fiance has been on hemodialysis for 2 years now, two weeks ago I discovered that I am pregnant. All research that I have looked at over the years say that it's almost impossible to conceive when a man in renal failure. This is due to a number of reasons that I won't get in to. I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else out there and if so could you let me know if there were any issues with the pregnancy or infant. Thank you.

Congratulations to you! Don't worry too much. Enjoy this exciting time in your lives! :bandance;

Congratulations! My younger brother was on D when his son was conceived and they had no problems at all. His daughter was conceived after transplant, and also was fine. Try not to worry and enjoy this time in your life!
-
Congrats to you both! What a blessed time in your life.

Congrats and blessings to a heathly baby!!! No worries, I done a research myself and it really does not affect males more than it affect females. Yes, some probably will be affected but not all. You happen to be blessed with a male on D who was not affected. Enjoy this time of your life! :clap;

Congrats!
We do have at least one member that I can think of who conceived when her bf was on dialysis. I'm sure we probably have more!
(We're all assuming you're happy ... is it a happy accident?)

Fantastic news. Congratulations.

There's 2 guys in my unit who had kids while on dialysis (not literally.. *L*) so I doubt it's uncommon

Cogratulations! :yahoo;

My husband wasn't on dialysis when I got pregnant, but his numbers at the time were definitely bad enough where he should have been, he was just stubborn and kept trying to work despite being super sick all the time. He ended up going on dialysis when I was about 4 months pregnant and he could no longer get out of bed in the morning to work.
Our son just turned 4 and he's still absolutely perfect. A little annoying at times, but perfect none the less.
I had donated to my husband about 4 months before I found out I was pregnant (oops!) and my pregnancy was fine, but they did monitor me more closely than other moms, but that was due to me, not my son or my husband. Depending on what caused your fiancees kidney failure, they can actually check the baby in the womb for similar conditions - my husbands was caused by reflux, so they checked our sons kidneys during the anatomy scan (and at every subsequent ultrasound because I was having them weekly because I was classified as "high risk") and everything checked out fine.
Don't worry yourself now! Focus on staying healthy and growing that little gift!! Congrats!!!! :bandance;

I think the main issue with some of the guys is not having the urge to have sex so just be glade he want to. I've been on D for over 5yrs and I have a healthy active 2yr old. I guess I'm just saying long as you do what the doctors tell you you should be fine. Congrats
