Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 CONGRATULATIONS! Several of us have had babies lately. I had my 2nd son on 6/25. I stayed on Enbrel and low dose prednisone thru the whole pregnancy. Please, please, please consider participating in the OTIS study on RA and pregnancy. http://www.raandpregnancy.org/ [ ] We think we're pregnant.... Okay I'm usually a lurker, but today I needed to post. FYI: I'm 28, and had RA since I was 17. I was only off the pill for 5 weeks and low and behold, I think we're pregnant! I've taken 2 at home tests and both were positive. We are heading to the OBGYN at lunch today for the " real " test. My RA is doing well. I'm only on Enbrel and tylenol (1 or 2 time daily) -- Because I knew we were trying, I lowered my Enbrel dose to every other week. I tried to come off previously but after week 3, I was miserable. Enbrel is a category B drug -- same as tylenol. My doc said its a my discretion. Anynone else had any dealings with pregnancy and Enbrel? Thanks!
