Hi folks,

While I am definitely not trying to conceive; I have this irrational fear of getting pregnant. I am worried what the drugs I am on could do to a baby :(

I take 2.5mg prednisone
200mg imuran
1 tablet rabeprazole
1 Bactrim
Some vitamins (calcium, folic acid, vitamin d)

My doc says imuran is fine. However the internet (which depending on the day... I trust more sometimes) says otherwise. I am also on a high dose.

I just feel so irritated about it. All my friends are having or have kids and here I am... Doing everything in my power not to get pregnant.

Has anyone who have been on imuran of that high of a dose had nice healthy babies? I am also worried about the Bactrim...

Again, I would prefer to be off everything before ever even thinking about having a baby. It's more for my own piece of mind.

I think there was a link here on the forums to a FB group about vasculites and pregnancy, but I'm too lazy to search for the link now.

Edit: Had some time, here it is

I'm sure the people there could give more info :)
