Lupus And Pregnancy Posted: 04-10-07 01:31am
I have SLE and am on Cellcept. My
specialists have advised against falling
pregnant due to the severity of my Lupus.
I am looking into surrogacy, but am not
yet sure if I am completely infertile due
to chemo treatment undergone last year. If
so, then I will opt for a donor egg to be
used. I am also scared that the immune
suppresant Cellcept might cause damage to
the baby.
I would love to hear from anyone who has
Lupus and is currently on Cellcept and who
fell pregnant or who opted for other
options such as surrogacy.

I don't have lupus personally but as I
understand it you must never take cellcept
whilst pregnant it is a strong, powerful
drug.
I would suggest speaking again with your
dr & ask them to give you more of the
facts regarding this drug.
