I have had multiple sclerosis nearly 7 years. I have been on tecfidera for around 2 years. I have been trying to conceive now for over a year and all mine and my partners tests have come back normal. I have been informed by my specialist that am ovulating so I don’t see why u haven’t conceived. It must be the tecfidera that is causing the issue. I would like to hear anyone’s story who is in my situation or has conceived whilst been on tecfidera. I am keen to come off it but my nurse has told me not to until I know am pregnant
Omg ! I’ve got CHAOS ( never heard of that one before) or I would if I gave a shit what people thought! Saying that when the MS nurse came to visit me it nearly killed me getting the house semi presentable. But friends know what I like, I get presents like a fridge magnet with” don’t write in the dust it protects the furniture” I’ve never been house proud, pre ms I’d rather be out horse riding, every evening if it was nice, my friends said I was addicted to horses, I said better that than coke or some other drug. I mean the dust will still be there tomorrow, today the sun is shining! Nowadays, if I want to ride I’ll be too knackered to clean as well. So when friends visit we just push the clean clothes pile further along the sofa. The state of my house provides them with a source of jokes anyway, like the better phone the police you’ve been burgled advert. The horse’s stable is clean, the Guinea pigs are clean, I’ve got clean clothes on - so what if Fred the spider hangs out in the corner! My house is not terrible- it’s just not sparkling clean and very untidy. Actually have been trying to tidy it, as don’t what to fall over a stray shoe. Actually this came up on the newly diagnosed day, the OH was saying some lady insisted on wiping her skirting boards every day and then saying she was tired, the OH suggested she didn’t have to do it every day. My mum and I were nearly wetting ourselves trying not to laugh. My mum is neater than me , but she knows what I’m like.

But I’ve still got some pride, I’m miserably falling today to get on top of my bedroom, I’ve cleared the “floordrobe” and hoovered half of it and now I’m flaked out and my backs knackered! But I’m actually looking for something in there.
Nobody ever eulogises “what a clean house she had” when we’re gone so I’m quitting when I’ve had enough.
