Advice! Pregnancy and Lemtrada

Hello all! My husband and I would like to try for a baby but I am currently taking gilenya and my MS nurse has suggested switching to Lemtrada and then trying to get pregnant. The other option is coming off medication altogether. Has anyone gotten pregnant while on lemtrada? Any advice much appreciated!

Hi @weefriend and welcome. Lemtrada, unlike other Disease Modifying Treatments, only stays within the body for 6 weeks. This would therefore seem to fit with your family plans.

Thanks @stumbler. My MS isn't highly active so worried about side effects and risks of taking and considering going drug free :-)
