Are you sure you spelled the name of the medication correctly? I've looked it up in a couple of places and can't find any mention of it. Would you mind checking and trying again?

That is how they spel it to me, but also think the spelling is wrong. Can't find it on Google. Do you think it can be Decadron?

Thanks for your help

I wouldn't be comfortable guessing at what they meant with something as important as the safety of a drug related to pregnancy. Who are "they"? A doctor? A pharmacist?  I would recommend that you speak to your pharmacist or, better yet, your doctor about this.

It is a 3rd dr who injected me, I am so confused. Just want to get pregnanent.

 

I can't find a list of the medication I where on to see if it can cause infertility.

My ovulation is negative for the last 6 months.

 

That is why I am concern.

 

Thanks for your help

Was this doctor a rheumatologist? Someone you saw on a regular basis? Was the injection for RA or for something else?  You can call the doctor's office, give them the approximate date of the injection and ask them to look up the information in your chart. If you got the injection in a hospital, you should be able to get the same kind of information from the hospital's records department.  If this was a special list you were referred to by your family doctor, they may have written a report to your family doctor, so it may be in your chart.  There are ways of finding out this information, you may just have to do some calling around.
