Rescue instillations during pregnancy...Safe or not??

Hello everyone,

I am in the flare from h*ll (4 weeks and going strong), and I am 25 weeks pregnant. I made an appt. with yet another urologist to discuss options for treatment as I am nearly going out of my mind here. I am very interested in doing a rescue instillation, or just any instillation at that....Can this be done during pregnancy? If something isn't done soon, I think I will lose my mind............

TIA for responses!!

I'm so sorry that you're having such a rough time. I don't have an answer for you regarding installations. However, I do know that my ob approved tums (and they help me) and the occational use of pyridium. Pyridium is now a class b drug, which means that it's probably ok. Other doctors have approved elmiron...but I don't think it has been tested.
