Roadblock...

After careful consideration of my DH's treatment, we have made the decision to TTA until the medicine that he is taking is our of his system. Enbral lowers count and motility and is similar to Methotrexate, so we will not be TTCing because.... it's pointless. In addition we will TTA until all the drugs are out of his system (21 days for the Enbral) and then the additional 70 days or so... just to be safe. That's about 90 days/3 months after his last injection... and at this point who knows when that will be. Right now he is on one month of treatment, it may be longer.

None of the DRs we talked to could tell us anything about published studies on birth defects caused by the drug (it's only been on the market for 10 years now). Because it is like other drugs that are known to cause birth defects DH and I are not willing to take that risk.\

Depending on treatment length and success, we may need to re-evaluate our TTC plans... but as it stands now, September will be our 1st healthy and best choice to TTC again...

Did I say July?!?!....September... here I come!!
