Hey guys would love your opinion on this topic, don't really know what I'm doing so please bear with me.....heres my story. i will try to make it as short as possible.
I have had such a hard life growing up as a child, my mother and I are two completely different people. Anyway when i was 19 I met the most wonderful man, and 4 years later we are still together, we would be married by now if it wasn't due to illness that i had to stop working.
At the age of 22 I got diagnosed with Inflammation arthritis, and that has been a huge struggle, a year before that i had fallen pregnant but it was eptopic so it could no longer be continued which really hit me hard and ever since then, it has been all I have longed for is a baby!!! now to my situation I am on the drug methetrexate for my arthritis but if i want to try for a family i have to come off it, there is no drug that i can be on if i want to conceive a baby but i can on steroids.
I cant fall pregnant while i am on methetrexate because it can cause so many deformities.
so what should i do? go off the drugs and go back to the pain again or stay on the drugs and wait for a bit.
any help you guys can give me i would appreciate

You poor thing. No one should have to choose between having a baby or living pain free. I can't personally relate to your exact situation but my fiance had to go off of his medication for us to ttc. He has low testosterone and the hormones he is on causes sterilty. He's been off of his meds now (with MD supervision) for about 4 weeks and is gaining weight and barely able to stay awake. I feel terrible for him but he says it is worth it. It is still a huge sacrifice and he isn't in pain. I don't think I could agree to let him do it if I had to watch him suffer like that.
Have you tried to see any alternative therapy doctors? I wonder if accupuncture or something could provide you with some relief if you were to go off of your meds? Whatever you decide,
no i have not
