Hi Rachel.

I'm afraid that I really don't know the answer to your questions. So far all I've been told is that RA can often go into remission during pregnancy, so my rheumy is keen to have me knocked up ASAP. Unfortunately, it's turning out to not be so easy for us. I haven't really looked into post-pregnancy and breast feeding, as those situations seem so far removed from where we are now with doing IVF and trying to get a pregnancy to stick beyond 8 weeks.

Can I ask what medication you are on?

Good luck with finding the answers to your questions. I certainly can understand your pain - my IVF doctor insisted I stop taking naprosyn, and I toughed it out as long as I could before my rheumy was forced to put be back onto prednisone as I was simply not able to move normally.
