We want to have a second child, I take Copaxone. During dicussions with my neuro i was advised the following:
1) be on copaxone 1 - 1.5yrs before TTC, that way it has had time to start to have some effect and build up in my system
2) come off copaxone but wait 2 months before TTC
3) not to take it while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Has anyone else had similar discussions with their neuro, or recieved advice about this? I was so disheartened when I was told all this. We are very excited to try for another baby and I am not getting any younger and this all basically means waiting 6 months from now (coming off copaxone after 1 year on it) before TTC and who knows how long it will take to get pregnant.
The decision to have another baby gets more complicated when you have MS, and the therapy questions just make it even harder and more confusing.
