So I just saw my GI doc. The first visit since I saw him when I was in the hospital. All went well, he thinks I'm doing well. He wants to get me off Predisone, which I am totally on board for. Right now I'm on 20mg and we're tapering off slowly over the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, he wants to keep me on Imuran (75mg) for a period of time. I have no idea what this period is. Is it forever? My case of Crohn's is a severe one and I really like feeling better and I am in no way wanting to stop all meds and flare up again. But the idea of being on a drug forever freaks me out.
The thing is that I want to have a baby soon. Not now but soon. I'm 34 and we were supposed to start trying this summer. I know that's going to have to be put on hold for now but whenever it's ok to try, I want to. I keep reading all these warnings about Imuran and pregnancy. This scares me.
Anyone only on Imuran? How long has it been? Is it ok? Anyone have any healthy babies while being on Imuran?
Thanks!
