Hi Fay! I was on dex from week 3 of my pregnancy until I was about 4 mos along then we started weaning from it. The worst side effects I had were MOODINESS, acne, weight gain and constipation(from the iron maybe but it did subside once I was weaned from Dex). I had more difficulty being weaned. Dex makes you more suseptible to illness. I was sick twice. Neither very seriously but I did get dehydrated once.  Once I was being weaned the weight stabilized and as did the moodiness, acne and constipation.

Our twins were born full term(scheduled section at 38.5 weeks) and were/are VERY healthy. 6lbs 3oz and 6lbs 7oz. They are both in the mid 30s now being 3 yrs old. Our boy is a carrier and our girl is unaffected.

I hope you found the info helpful. Sorry I couldn’t help with the virlization part of your question but I am grateful at the same time  (:

Email me if you’d like.

Good luck, Alyssa
