Questions about DMTs, risk, and breastfeeding
Is my current DMT safe during pregnancy? Should I switch or stop before conceiving, and how long ahead?
What's my relapse risk during pregnancy and postpartum — and is postpartum a higher-risk window?
What monitoring will I need during pregnancy?
How soon after delivery should I restart my DMT?
Can I breastfeed on my medication?
Can I safely do IVF or egg-freezing — does the hormone stimulation trigger relapses?
If my partner has MS and is on a DMT, do they need to wait or use contraception before we try to conceive?
