Gilenya & Pregnancy

Postby mm430 » Fri Oct 19, 2012 7:48 am

I've been off Gilenya for a few months, in the hopes of starting a family.

We've been unsuccessful thus far. I've been fine, off the medicine, and then I wake up this morning and portions of the left side of my face are numb.

Has anyone on here been successful in having a baby after having been on Gilenya?

you have to stop gilenya 2-2.5 month before getting pregnant because it has a teratogenic effect on the baby
