Myself and my husband would like to start trying for a baby but my Crohns has been in a flare up since October last year. I am on my 3rd round of steroids and have just started taking Azathioprine alongside Humira. Has anyone got any experience of getting pregnant during a flare up? Is it possible or should I wait until I am more stable?
Thanks :)

Hi,
first of all, sorry to hear you've been dealing with suffering with a flare for so long. I know how awful it can be. I hope for your sake, it clears up very soon. Secondly, from experience, it would be best to try to wait until you are off of the steroids, unless you already are, to become pregnant. Also, if you are pregnant during a flare, it could be much more uncomfortable for you during pregnancy, as your baby grows. The inflammation you already deal with during a flare is uncomfortable enough, so as your uterus grows and stretches with your baby, it could definitely contribute to your flare and illness overall, unfortunately.
