I am 27 Years old. I was Diagnosed with osteopenia when I was 18. I fell down some stairs and had a compression fracture at T7 in my back. I have been on Actonel since then. My bone mineral densitometry scans have been getting better every year. I have had them every year since I am considered high risk (my grandmother had osteoperosis- she has been on fossomax and now is considered to have osteopenia). My last scan has now put me in the category of not being high risk so now I can only have a scan every two years.
I want to have a baby in the next few years but I am worried about the effects of actonel on having a baby. Does anyone know or read anything that says it is a problem. The only articles I have read have said that research has not determined whether or not there is a risk for a fetus. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I am going to talk to my doctor about it at my yearly appointment in October.
