In the 1970's certain hormone treatments were given to patients to assist embryo development?

Question

A hormone treatment administered in the 1970's to pregnant women.

Answer 1

If you are talking about DES, it was given from the late 40's I believe, until the 1970's to reduce the risk of miscarriage. A majority of the children born to these women have problems with fertility...both sexes, and it caused other birth defects.
