Hi everyone
Currently 39 weeks pregnant and thinking ahead to after the baby is here...
After lots of googling I can't find much (any?!) information on contraception that is compatible with HCQ. Before being diagnosed with RA I was on Rigevidon and have also previously used the contraceptive injection.
Has anyone got any experience with what does/doesn't work please? Open to other options too.
DH has mentioned a vasectomy, but that seems so permanent! Although our family will be "complete" after this one.
Thank you

I’ve been on this and taken the mini pill with no issues at all.
