Hello, I am suffering from psoriasis. I have it for a long time, and skin changes are visible on knees and elbows. During winter, these changes are more serious, while the withdraw is almost completely in summer. Four months ago, I got married, I m 30 years old and I would like to have a baby. I am using Methotrexate. Can you tell me of possible connection between Methotrexate and conceiving a child?

Methotreaxte is a drug that inhibits the creation of certain substances in our body. It has many negative side effects, including the depression of bone marrow, alopecia, stomach problems The usage of this drug is not recommended for women who are trying to conceive. I think that you should ask your doctor about changing the therapy.
