Suffering from AU and want to have child. Should I take risk of transferring AU to my child?
Hello friends, I am very happy to find this forum where I can post my issue and seek advise. I am 36, female suffering from Alopecia totallis from last 23 years. Currently its turning to AU, losing my eyelashes & eyebrows. It's being 4+ years for my marriage and we want to have a child. Also suffering from severe ENDO and can conceive only through IVF. Tried two attempts through IVF but have failed and now need to decide if should go for third attempt of IVF or go for child adoption. My brain tells me that by going with child adoption I will not have to take risk of transferring AU to my child. But my heart still craves for giving a birth to a child. Should I take risk of transferring AU to my child as I read some disccussion forums which say that there are almost 25% chances of this? Not sure how I would face my child if he/she gets AU from me. Will the child not tell me why did you bring me in this world when you knew that there were chances of transfering AU to me. Would like to hear about your experiences related to this issue. I am hoping your experiences and suggestions would assist me in taking right decision. Look forward to hear from you. Thanks!

Hi
My daughter has alopecia. You can't control the world Meera. There is a possibility when having a child that things can go wrong...not just alopecia. I love both my children, just because they are them and you will do the same...alopecia may not even happen.
One of the things to keep in mind is that you will be a very good role model if alopecia was to enter your child's life.
Have a family, live your life and enjoy!!

❤ There are no guaranties in life... There are so many diseases/syndroms out there, and you never know what you gonna get... I deal with several severe genetic autoimmune diseases, every day, since I was born. In spite of that, I enjoy living and have had so much love and laughter and if I could turn back time to when my parents made me, I wouldn't stop them! ;-)

absolutely. children are the biggest blessing and such a joy and I don't think it would be right to not give yourself this experience just because of alopecia. dont forget, alopecia tends to skip generations. i have no clue who i got mine from, take the chance, as soon as you see your child it will all be worth it :)
