Keri,

I had my kids after I knew I had MS, and in fact specifically aimed to get pregnant 4 mo after they told me about the MS. My first daughter was born when I was still healing from the first Transverse Myelitis attack, and my second was born 3 1/2 yrs later. I don't regret my decisions, although it was very difficult at times.

I agree with others that support from friends and family would normally be one of the most critical factors in the decision.

In your particular situation, I would have to say that what concerns me most is how "aggressive" the disease is/isn't. From what I understand, they felt you were going to have a very progressive case from the get-go, and you seem to have had difficulty getting/keeping things under control to date. Only you know how you "really" compare to others in the early years, and only time will tell what will happen ... but the decisions were made to be uncharacteristically aggressive in your treatment options ... I would presume because it is believed that you do have very progressive MS.

That is a huge factor to consider, in your case.
