Hi!! I have been diagnosed with MS 4 years ago and I have been on Tecfidera treatment for last 3 years. I decided with my husband to try for the second child, I asked my neurologist about an Ms treatment during pregnancy and he said to choose between: Avonex,Extavia,Plegridy and Rebif. I have been told to leave Tecfidera for 8 weeks and after to start any of beta interferons treatment. Ok !! My question now is if any other ladies have been on any of this treatments and how safe is for baby and for all pregnancy stages. I am 34 years old. I know that every person is different but I would like to know a second opinion from someone who tried this. Thank you
We are currently trying to get pregnant. I am on plegridy and my specialist has said it is fine to continue whilst pregnant and breastfeeding. I am taking a higher dose of folic acid because I also take gabapentin for nerve pain as that and some others are linked to higher incidence of neural tube defects
