Hey everyone.
I have been feeling pretty good for about a month now since my initial diagnosis 4 months ago. Yay!
The mister and I were supposed to start trying for a baby this summer. That is soon. Now I am on Pred (10mg tapering off the next few weeks) and Imuran (75mg) and I've heard all sorts of warnings about getting pregnant on Imuran.
I am scared out of my mind about this drug and a baby. I want a baby soon (I'm 35) but also don't want to rush it while on medication.
I guess I am asking all the mothers out there what your experience with Crohn's and babies. Any success stories?
I am also worried about flaring up while pregnant. My GI doc is sort of telling me to "wait and see" but this freaks me out.
It's all so confusing and scary.
