Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 You really need to ask both your gynecologist and rheumatologist about this. What the doctor thinks you are planning should be no concern of yours. That should not affect your treatment in any way. If you are a young married person many people will think you are trying to conceive and it should not affect you at all. That’s their problem about what they think unless you choose to make it your problem by reacting to it. We all have enough problems of our own without taking on the problems of others as if they affected us, which they should not. The only medication I know about is Methotrexate and that is used in higher concentrations to cause abortions. I have heard both three months and six months as the time to be off it before trying to conceive, and that goes for both men and women. Again, you need to talk to your doctors about this instead of getting your information from the internet. God bless.
