8 Week Check Up

[Kiwi Girl]

Just had an appointment with my cardiologist. Aortic valve is fine, pulmonary valve has a slight leak but they arent worried about it. Had the all clear to start trying for babies. He said I can resume life as normal now

Has anyone else had a leaky pulmonary valve?

Can't comment about the valve issue, but a NORMAL life and BABIES in one report sounds FABULOUS!!

Many of us end up with trivial/mild leakage on another valve after the defective one is replaced and pumping like new again.
Time to start a "making babies" thread ?

Hi Kiwi Girl!
Congrats on getting a good report.

Re: pulmonary valve - I have mild-moderate pulmonary valve regurg. and moderate stenosis. I was told (based on the TEE in the OR during my AVR) that my pulmonary valve is also bicuspid (very unusual!). Surgeon decided to leave my PV alone. He said, he is optimistic it won't give me any problems until it is time for another new aortic valve. So...I wouldn't worry about a mild regurg. Apparently, pulmonary valves don't deteriorate as quickly as aortic valves (probably not explaining this accurately).

So...go make some hay and have fun in the meantime. You deserve it. All the best,
