i was just wondering if any of you have weaned off mtx to have a baby, and if so how did you go about it and how long to wean off it... i just want to get an idea before i see my rheumatologist in a couple of weeks. thank you for your time! Hi pjsmama, you don't have to wean off MTX, you can just stop cold turkey.
My RD said you should then wait 3 "moon cycles" before breeding (well, she
didn't use the words "moon cycles" or "breeding", but you know what I
mean). However, I've read people saying their RD only said it takes about 6
weeks to get the mtx out of your system. If it were me I would be better safe
than sorry. Good luck with your future new addition!thank you, gimpy-a-gogo! i'm weaning off sulfazalazine right now. so mtx will be the next thing. i'm glad i dont have to wean off it... thanks for the imput!PJsmama - here's hoping that you have fun while trying to procreate (but that it doesn't take too long), and that you have a long and glorious pregnancy-induced remission!!!
thank you everyone for your good advice and well wishes...
i appreciate it!
