Posted by John Pregnancy is a source of stress to the kidney and to the pancreas, so it is not easy to make general statements about the chances for a successful pregnancy (and for continued graft function). http://www.insulinfree.org/pancreas/faith.htm http://www.transweb.org/people/recips/experien/lori_kp/lori.html

It is possible; but I think it is a very individual decision for you and your doctors. There are many factors to consider: the length of time since transplant, your current medications, your general health and your cardiac health, how well the kidney functions, how well the pancreas functions.
