Current medical status: Have been told by two MD's that my treatment for the metals will take about three years. One of them thought it could be two, but said he wouldn't be surprised if three since the mercury maxed at the lab's max value measured.
Current medical treatment: am also on progesterone replacement and have been since I was 30. I've had a chronic sinus infection for 1.5 years with no obvious reasons found via the ct scan especially since allergies have responded well to medication
Mercury poisoning can compromise the pregnancy and damage the fetus. This means that you shouldn’t get pregnant while treating mercury poisoning. The egg-cell might be intact but the fetus will be compromised by the mercury later. From a medical standpoint, you can try in vitro fertilization and then find a surrogate mother to accept your fertilized egg-cell and bear the fetus. According to your age and pre-existing conditions, you could try in vitro fertilization even there wasn’t mercuric poisoning. Mercuric poisoning complicates the situation and requires a surrogate mother.
