My huband has Crohns and takes Mercaptopurine and Pentasa daily, which has proven very succesful in managing the disease over the last 2 years.
We would like to start a family and are unsure whether Mercaptopurine is safe to take while trying to conceive? A quick internet search looks as though it isn't, but he only takes a low dose of 25mg per day.
Has anyone any similar experiences to share? I'd be grateful for any advice while we are waiting to see his doctor. Thanks!
