Hi, my boyfriend is currently on sulphasalazine (apologies I think I have spelt this wrong) but it is likely he is going to have to take methotrexate soon. I know that it is not advised to have a baby while either partner is taking this drug so my question is, what options do we have if we want to have a baby in the future? From what I understand methotrexate is a long term drug i.e. he will take it forever.
Hi. If his condition is better controlled, then you can discuss with his doctor options of conception and taking him off the Chat Doctor.  There will be a wait period during which the doctor will continuously monitor him and also check to see if he will be fit for natural conception. After this, you can go ahead with natural conception. Or else, a donor sperm or adoption are last resorts. Best wishes.
