Hello
I am sorry to hear that you are having such disease .
I want to tell you that spinal muscular atrophy is nothing to do with future conception .
However if you get pregnancy and after full term at the time of delivery , you may need C ,section .
So if your menstruation cycle is normal ( 5/ 28 , regular ) , ovulation is on 14-15 day , endometrium thickness is 11 mm and follicle size is 19 -20 mm at the time of maturation , you can conceive successfully .
So , please get in ultrasound of both ovaries as well as uterus and also ovulation study and thereafter plan for PREGNANCY .
Good luck.
