Interferon Injections And Fertility ?? Posted: 07-05-04 23:23pm
New to this forum
i started taking rebif 3 months ago. I
am wondering whether taking rebif could
affect my fertility, since my husband and
I are trying to conceive (for our first
child) for the past year, without success
yet . For those 3
months , I am wondering wether my cycle
isn't somehow different than before ??
Did anyone noticed something different
since starting interferon therapy ??
Nb: I consulted with my neurologist about
taking rebif and not using birth control
Rebif (interferon-beta-1a) is an
immunomodulating drug used for treating
multiple sclerosis. It belongs to the
pregnancy category C which means that its
bad impact on the fetus is proven in
animals but there are no data about the
influence on people. This means that it
shouldn't be used during pregnancy and
need to be stopped before trying to get
pregnant.
If you can't conceive after one year
trying you may have sterility problem and
need to consult some gynecologist.
