So all the ducks are in a row... I came off my meds in April. Three months later i've been to the dentist and I've scheduled a crown after having a temporary in place for (i'm a little ashamed) the last 10 years. I did the preconception appt and i'm going tomorrow to get final clearance from my Dermatologist. Hubs and i turned 28 in August and our 2nd anniversary is tomorrow! Our puppy finally matured into a dog and construction on our addition is almost done. I even had a confidential conversation with our HR manager about how our med plan and short term disability works.
I'm so excited, nervous, scared, yet i feel oddly prepared to make this step forward.
Here's where I'm unsure.... i've been on the pill since i was 17 - never taking a break. I have no way of predicting what my body will do when i stop taking it. Our "plan" is to officially start TTC in Oct after my BF's wedding. however, my derm wants me to stop taking humira when i relieve the goalie. Once i stop taking the humira my skin can become very irritated.
I'm done with my current pack on Friday. Do i start one more pack starting on 9/6 and finish on the 27th and no looking back TTC? or do i finish off friday and use different "barriers" and let myself have a month to get back on track and still stay on the humira? I realize this probably also a question for my Dermatologist but i'd also like some anecdotal opinions.
