Talk to me about pregnancy and AS...? I want to have a couple children and having AS has obviously changed my priorities. I feel like I want to get off all the meds even tho I still hurt quite a bit, and try to get pregnant especially since I don't want any complications when my sacroilliac joints and spine completely fuses... Suggestions? Tips? Complications?

The trial my doctor wanted to put me in is a no go.... There no way i am going to be sterilized at 25. So now my doc wants me to have the blockers.... Unsure what one but can you give me an insight into life with them, the highs and lows please, and pregnancy using them?

Any new moms that have experience with sulfasalazine and celebrex and continued to breastfeed while taking meds? I have done tons of research and with approval from the pediatrician and my rheumatologist I have restarted my medication while watching for side effects for my NB.

Hi all, i have been using Humira for 8 months and just found out my partner is pregnant, although we are both very happy about it, we have a worry that the Humira could have an affect. All the info says women using Humira should avoid becoming pregnant. Can anyone tell me if Humira has any affect in men or is this something to ask my rheumatologist? Any help would be great, Thankyou!

Anyone have kids after being diagnosed with AS? I am 24 and would like to have kids one day with my spouse, but I am afraid of the pregnancy being too hard on me. My mom heard that some people with RA cease to have flares while pregnant and I'm wondering if this is the case with AS. Any tips or experiences would be lovely!

I have just been cleared as been in "remission", which is fantastic! My ESR is right down and immune system totally suppressed. 3 weeks off enbrel and I can feel a lot of my trouble spots weakening. I am guessing if it's just pain and not inflammation that it's permanent damage to the joints? I would like to stay off the meds to start a family but obviously don't want a major flair in pregnancy. Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks

Pregnancy...has anyone gotten pregnant on TNFI, specifically Remicade? If so, everything ok? If you went off the med, how horrible was your pain during pregnancy?

I've got AS and Crohn's with a illeostomy, I have a 13 yr old daughter and have been with my partner for over 3 years, I've been trying to conceive, no luck so far, but now I'm on Humira, I've been warned not to conceive on anti-TNF's... I think I may have inflamation in the pelvis/womb area.. Is this a possibility? Does anyone else know of difficulties getting pregnant? And is it definatly bad to have a child whilst on Humira as the medical information I've read implies it causes no harm?

So, my insurance denied Enbrel and my rheumy started me on indomethicin. I got sick the first couple of times that I took it but then started taking it before bed and it was working great for a few days. Then...I found out I was pregnant. I called my rheumy, who said to stop the indomethicin and that there is nothing I can take now. My pain isnt too bad at the moment, but I'm only about six weeks along so I'm wondering if any of you who have gone through pregnancy with AS have any advice? Thanks
