I have been on Methotrexzte many times throughout my disease within the past 11 years and from experience, methotrexate is NOT a medication you want to be on while trying to get pregnant.  You MUST tell your doctor before you even attempt to become pregnant and he/she will place you on something else.  I had become pregnant without telling my doctor that I was off my medication (I couldn't afford it for about 3 months) and upon hearing that I was pregnant, and I must say how upset he was when I first told him because this medication acts like birth control and he feared that I would have to consider aborting (awful term for killing my baby) but I reassured him of the fact that I hadn't had the medicine for 3 months so he knew that it was completely out of my system.  I thank God for that major time in my life when I couldn't afford my medicine...He knew I was going to become pregnant and helped me through it all.  As far as marriage or any kind of relationship, this disease will affect it SOMETIMES but if u find the right mate, one who is understanding and patient, you will go a long way with that.  May God bless you in all you life's trials and relationships.  Take care of yourself!!!!
