Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new to this, but looking for some advice/ support I guess. I was dx April 2012. 6 months on Avonex, 2 relapses (including my first one for dx). I was cleared back in march 2013 to stop Avonex and TTC ( I just turned 35). My neuro and OB were on board. We have been trying for about 5 months with no pregnancy. Ob said to follow up in six months if nothing happens. Well I just had an MRI, new active lesions, and I just went through 5 solumedrol infusions. And on top of EVERYTHING else, I just got Lyme disease. Ugh.
Anyway, neuro wants to see me next week. He wants to put me back on meds for at least a year to stabilize everything, and said we can TTC in a year. Of course I am upset. I am now 35 and it will only get harder to have a baby. And the thought of going back to square1 trying a new drug ( possibly bg-12) sounds awful to me. It's like I'm going back to when I was dx. I am sad, terrified that this is aggressive, and just want a baby.
Any advice out there?
