Insulin Resistance, Mitro Valve Prolapse, High Blood Pressure: Is pregnancy a good idea?!?!?

I have recently been diagnosed with Severe Insulin resistance, MitroValve Prolapse, and High Blood Pressure (I mean extremely high!) My husband and I are extremely eager to have children. But none of my doctors will tell me whether or not it is possible or if it is a good idea for me to do so. When the question arises, they tell me let's get a handle on the problem at hand and deal with the pregnancy part after the others are under control. My insulin resistance had cause my ovaries to shut down and cease to function. Until one month ago, they had not worked AT ALL in over a year. But for the past 2 months, after taking large doses of RX, I was able to have periods.
I understand their theory on the matter, to no get ahead of themselves. But I am not talking about getting pregnant immediately, but I would like to know if it is possible. And if it is possible to get pregnant, what risks does the HBP and MVP pose for me or the baby? Please help! I am so lost!

the best answer is from your personal doctor. Based upon your health, I suggest that you adopt a child. Pregnancy is very dangerous in your condition because of the various health condition.

I would like to thank everyone for their comments! I appreciate information on this subject more than you will ever know!

MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE AND INSULIN RESISTANCE ARE NOT CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR CONCEPTION.BUT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MUST BE WELL UNDER CONTROL BEFORE PLANNING FOR PREGNANCY AND YOU SHOULD BE UNDER CLOSE FOLLOW UP BY CARDIOLOGIST AND NEPHROLOGIST IN ADDITION.
With HBP you could have preeclampsia which could cause the following:
Mild high blood pressure during pregnancy is not necessarily dangerous by itself. However, it is closely monitored because it can be a sign of a more serious condition, such as preeclampsia. After delivery, mild high blood pressure that has not worsened during the pregnancy and has returned to normal within 12 weeks can be termed "transient hypertension of pregnancy."
Severe high blood pressure limits the blood oxygen supply to your fetus, increasing the risk for poor fetal growth, early separation of the placenta from the uterine wall (placenta abruptio), and stillbirth. For this reason, you are likely to be treated with medication to lower your blood pressure if your diastolic blood pressure reading is 100 or higher (this is the second, or lower, number).
Long-term (chronic) high blood pressure is a lifelong yet treatable condition. The greatest risk for pregnant women with chronic high blood pressure is their 1-in-4 chance of developing preeclampsia. 2 (When the two conditions occur together, your risk of complications from high blood pressure increases, as does your risk of complications from preeclampsia.)

Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is defined as the new onset of high blood pressure over 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) after 20 weeks of pregnancy, usually with higher-than-normal levels of protein found in a urine sample.

In its most severe form, preeclampsia is a life-threatening pregnancy problem. Although it is not well understood, preeclampsia seems to start with a placenta that doesn't grow the usual network of blood vessels deep into the uterine wall. This leads to poor blood circulation through the placenta. 3 In addition to causing mild to severe high blood pressure, preeclampsia can also cause problems with blood supply to the fetus and sometimes with the woman's liver, kidney, and brain functions. Women with severe preeclampsia can develop life-threatening seizures (eclampsia).

Preeclampsia only occurs during or just after pregnancy. It affects about 5% of all pregnancies, most commonly first-time pregnancies. 4 Although preeclampsia typically lasts for up to 2 weeks after delivery, it always goes away after a pregnancy.

Preeclampsia probably does not cause future high blood pressure. Instead, experts think that women who have preeclampsia also have a higher-than-normal risk of chronic high blood pressure after pregnancy or later in life

These are just a few of the problems with high blood pressure during pregnancy. You could also have a preterm baby and have problems after your pregnancy with any blood pressure.

With mitro-valve prolapse in pregnancy the following is what I found.
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) can vary from mild to moderate or severe and is generally tolerated well in pregnancy. In fact, it may even improve during pregnancy due to the generalized dilation of blood vessels. Most women have no symptoms of heart disease with mitral valve prolapse. In rare instances, complications such as chest pain, palpitations or a sense of a racing heartbeat, and possibly fainting can arise.

Implications for the Baby

Mitral valve prolapse may be caused by a congenital condition, or by a weakening of the valve due to recurrent injury and repair. Regardless of the cause, the risk for your baby inside your uterus is minimal. Most moms and babies do very well with mitral valve prolapse. However, if you become significantly symptomatic and the blood flow to your uterus, placenta, and your baby are decreased, your baby will be at risk for growth problems. In these cases, a perinatologist may evaluate your baby via ultrasound to assess his tolerance of the symptoms you are experiencing.

So I think that I would sit down with the doctors and make sure that they we straight forward with me and let me know about the possibility of getting pregnant and the implications when pregnant and if they don't think that it would be a good idea than maybe you should talk to your spouse about other options of having children. I hope that this helps.

I knew someone who died in their very early 30's, and I think it was a heart attack due to mitral valve prolapse (can't remember for certain). They also had HBP and had two children, the youngest was a toddler at the time.

I think you can do it, but all of that is nothing to take lightly. You may want to get in the best shape you can before you have kids, stay on some kind of plan while you are pregnant, and get back into shape ASAP.

Otherwise I think you might be risking your life. I think that's why the doctors are trying to tackle your health issues instead of talking about what having a baby will do to you.

You may be very eager to have kids, but waiting a couple of years before you have kids so that you can deal with your health issues will let you have more years with your kids.

Medication might help you start getting over your issues, but you need to do everything you possibly can to try to be healthy without the meds, because having a baby will put additional stress on your body.
