Lauren:
I have seen discussions about DES on various forums. The parallel for me is when people discovered another drug that was prescribed during pregnancy was also very harmful: Thalidomide. In both cases, it appeared that the drug did what it was intended to do, but it took a long time before the possible consequences were understood. It’s interesting that both drugs were roughly in the same time frame: 1933-1976 for DES and 1940-1971 for Thalidomide. It also speaks to the requirements for drug testing back then. Fortunately we have learned a lot since then.
Good Luck to you!!
