Hi Everyone
I too am considering pregnancy. I know this is a decision I have to make on my own. I would appreciate any advice though. I am 37 yrs old and I feel if I am going to do this, I want to decide soon. There are a few factors I am concerned with. My IC Pain is none -to moderate at times, I have more problems with the frequency. I was on Elimron for 7 months,I noticed no change, so the Dr. said I should go off. I did. Now from what I read, I wish I would have give it more time. But that is past and I am sure I could try again. Right now I am on nothing for my IC. In the past I took ditopanXL , Dmso,nothing helped with frequency. The other issue is I am on Xanax for anxiety and have been for few yrs. As much as I want a child, I fear what will happen if I come off Xanax, its bad enough to deal with IC.And I am afriad what will happen if IC gets worst. I know alot of woman go into remission,but its the after birth Im afraid I want to be able to take care of my baby. I wish I had a crystal ball I could ask so I'd know the right answer.But unfortunately I don't. I wish I wasnt so scared.I dont want to look back on my life 1 day and say I should of and its to late.Thanks for listening-JOJO
