Will pregnancy be affect due to steroids?
Patient: I am, 28 years old patient of Myasthenia Gravis since Jan 2006. I got married in Nov 2008.I have a query regarding Pregnancy. I have been on huge doses of steroids. Now I am on 25 mg after tapering (the doses have been high and low depending on my condition.) My thymectomy has also been done in Feb 2008. I am mow in remission since July 2007. Strength is not an issue but my weight is 64 kilos height 5 1 . i am trying to reduce it. Now i am in a dilemma whether to plan my pregnancy or not. Will my child get the same or some other disease through me? If the probability is YES then i may wanna adopt a child. i have pcos as well since 2002. Please suggest something. Is IVF the best option for me? I am being treated at AIIMS but now i m in japiur after marriage Doctor: Hi.Probability is always present, but the choice is left up to you entirely. If having your own child is really important to you, then you can give it a go. You could have a perfectly healthy and normal child, or it could go the other way (although in my opinion, less likely).But if adoption will give you equally as much joy and happiness, then go ahead with that.Best wishes.
