Re: Plaquenil in pregnancy

Thank you for your insights, Lana. It took me 3 years to conceive my son--so I am not too excited about waiting a long while before ttc again. Initially my rheumatologist didn't want me to take plaquenil (before I conceived my son) because I was ttc. Now he begs me to start on it every time I talk to him because the prednisone is ineffective and I experience a TON of side effects. I wish you luck ttc. My son is the biggest blessing of my life.
