RA and pregnancy.I am 31yrs and trying to conceive for past 1 mth.Only on prednisone 5mg and Panamax
Hi
I have had RA for past 9yrs.I am 31yrs old and have been trying to conceive for past 1 mth.What are the chances that my RA will effect my ability to conceive.
Before I was taking Methotheraxate and Arava but have gone through Arava wash out test and my Rheumatologist has advised it's safe to fall pregnant.I am off Methathexorate for almost 6mths now.I have been looking for some help or people with simliar situation who have had kids now and how it all happened.
RA did not afect my ability to conceive at all, I was diaglnosed with RA after the birth of my first child at 32 years old. Second child wasn't planned was very excited but worried that the RA would make it really hard to cope, when i was 3 months pregnant the RA just seemed to dissappear and i felt wonderfull, no pain or anything, i had a very easy birth, didn't need pain killers ect, was up and about within minutes of giving birth, and i carried on feeling good until my child was about 4 months old, though my RA was never as severe as it was. Last year i had another unplaned pregnancy, which sadly ended in misscarriage. i hope you fall pregnant soon. good luck
