TTC with chronic illness

[beck84]

Hi just wondering if anyone else on here is ttc and also has a chronic illness.

I am 35 have a dd16 & ds12, this would be my dp 1st. I have multiple sclerosis

Yep me! We are TTC our first, I have rheumatoid arthritis 👎

Are you still taking your medication? I have refused to go on a dmd (disease modifying drug) until i have had a baby and finished breastfeeding - which has now come back to bite me on the bum as i am suffering the worst relapse i have ever had, and now have absolutely no hope of getting a bfp as i am too stressed about my relapse. How long have you been ttc?

Yeah I am, I’m on sulfasalazine so it’s safe to take up until the third trimester. Trying to avoid using my naproxen where I can help it though. Have you spoken to your GP/consultant about meds that are safe to take while TTC?

We have been TTC since October, fell pregnant in April but that was an ectopic so I had medical management for that. This cycle is the first one we can properly try again so fingers crossed! 🤞
