psoriasis & pregnancy help

[zslb]

Hi
I have severe Psoriasis but it is under control at the moment with Cyclosporine & has been for the past 2 yrs. I have a 4 year DS who I love with all my heart.
However as I have had blood problems I have had to put my dose down & the Psoriasis is returning with a vengeance. I am longing to have another child but my hubby is adamant that he is happy with one.
My problem is I need to come of my current meds within 6-9 months & change to one that I can?t get pregnant on.
I have never had this yearning to have children I just wanted to start a family. But now I am in this Now or Never situation I feel at a loss
Just to add to it I have been trying to lose weight & doing OK, but when my Psoriasis returns I just want to comfort eat & have no interest in been a size 14 again
BTW I am 36 so can?t wait much longer
Hope someone out there can give some advice

This is the first time i have posted on here so any comments will be muchly appreciated please
Thx

Hi just marking my place but I am in a similar position and will be back in a bit when I have cracked the computer up - can't post a longer reply on my phone :)

Hi there

I also take a recently reduced dose of ciclosporin for psoriasis and am looking at switching to biologics in the near future. I also took ciclosporin during pregnancy as I flared really badly and I am limited in my treatment options.

Is it that the switch in meds is making you worry about the future?

Hi Hogshead
The dermatoligist has suggested biologics, but you cant get pregnant on them. She has said if i want to go them for the next year then if we change our mind about another baby then i can come off them. But then i will be another year older n dont want to have children any later. Hubby still adament only wants one!? Friends have suggested that i just get pregnant without telling him, but dont really want to do that.
