Hi ladies, just looking for some input. My rheumatologist just started me on plaquenil 3 days ago. He wanted me to start it about 6 months ago but I've been pushing it off. We plan on doing another round of IVF for baby #2 In the next few months and I'm just really nervous to be on this while pregnant. However, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because I need to take my health into consideration as well. I've been researching the plaquenil and although there have been a small number of studies on humans that haven't shown any fetal issues while on it during pregnancy, there have been animal studies that have shown potential, hearing, vision and neurological disturbances. It remains in your body for 8 months so If I plan on stopping it I need to do so now. The FDA hasn't even categorized it because they say that it has to be given on a risk/benefit reason which is under the discretion of the physician. And it passes through breast milk so some studies say it isn't recommended to breast feed while on it and others say to speak to your doctor. I'm just wondering if any of you ladies out there have been on this drug while pregnant and what your experiences were on it? Any adverse outcomes with the pregnancies/babies? TIA.
