Hello, I am new here but I can see that everyone is very helpful.
I am 40years old and have active rheumatoid arthritis. My husband and I would like to try for a baby. My consultant came up with a 6 month plan - currently I am on leflunomide and rituximab infusions. I am having a wash out of leflunomide and need to wait 6 months from last infusions to start trying.
Previously I was taking methotrexate, adanilumab inj and some other medication. I also take topiramate to prevent migraines.
My question is - is anyone on here who was in similar situation and had a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby? I do understand that it does depends on a person and each situation is different but it would be nice to hear a happy story.
Thank you

Hi OP I don’t have any advice for you I’m afraid but your post caught my eye as I was
misdiagnosed with RA while TTC à few years back.
But I wanted to say that I think maybe you would find more informed and helpful answers on a forum that is specific for people with RA?
best of luck x
