I am currently on the methadone program and found out i was pregnant November 14th. I miscarried Dec. 4th. Although this pregnancy was not planned my husband and I were thrilled. When we lost our baby it nearly destroyed our hearts! I can honestly say this has been the hardest thing we have ever been through together. We have been talking about possibly trying again once my mind and body are healed but I'm worried about the effects of the methadone on our baby. We want NOTHING more then to be parents but I dont want to harm our baby in anyway, but on the other hand I feel as if the only thing that will make me truely happy again is to try for another baby sooner rather than later! Please if anyone out there can give me advice on what may be best for us, I welcome all opinions and advice!!! Thank you!

Hello, I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I have been in that situation it is very hard. If you are in a methadone program that is being control by a doctor and your doctor is monitoring your intake and it is not being abused in any way and is aware of your plans to future pregnancy you should have no problems. Methadone is safe for pregnancy and if you do find out you are pregnant there is more issues if you stop taking the methadone then if you continue to take the medication. Here is a website that can give you more answers to questions that you might have, hope this helps and good luck!!
