RE: [SPAM] Pregnancy and rA

[Guest guest]

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.

Which

drugs do you have to be off and for how long before it’s safe to get

pregnant? I can’t remember and if I ask my doctor he’ll think

I’m planning something, which I am not... Yet.

Am on orancia, methotrexate, azulfidine, prednisone.

Thanks!
