Pregnancy while on Ocrevus?

Hi all, I have been on Tecfidera for years, but because of a relapse, I will go on Ocrevus next month. Are there women here who got pregnant while being on Ocrevus? Is it easy or does the drug make it more difficult? Anyone who can share their experience? I am worried that I will have to delay my pl...

Pregnancy and Ocrevus

Hello everyone! I started yesterday Ocrevus. The first half dose! In the future what about pregnancy and this treatment? How long you need not to take the injection for trying to get pregnant? What other issues with pregnancy may have?

Women pregnancy

Hello I read on a research that women’s pregnancy keeps them safe of relapses 50%. And if healthy women gave birth, 46% of them are 5 years safe from MS after giving birth. But if she has MS, giving birth causes a lot of relapses the first 3 months after giving birth
