I have MPGN type 2. I have one but I want more eventually. Some doctors have told me yes, others no, but my parents have also said no. I have not reached kidney failure yet and eventually I will need a transplant. I'm going for a checkup apt. Tuesday and possibly discuss & schedule a biopsy and recieve test results. I realize right now I can't have more kids, but in another year or two I may want more. I also know my fiance (my son's father) wants more kids, but he doesnt want to put me at risk. He has said that although more kids would be nice, if I'm not able to he will be ok with that. They have said that maybe if my disease goes into remision I can, but only then. If i were to have more kids now there is a possibility that my kidneys can go into failure and me and the baby would die. So of course we are waiting and being safe.Is this reasonable or possible?Does anyone have any type of kidney disease? Do you have kids? Does anyone have any info. that might help?
