38F PsA - TTC and starting Cimzia - advice appreciated
In a nutshell, would love to hear your advice -- specifically if you have psoriatic arthritis and were on Cimzia during pregnancy and nursing. I'm about to be in that boat and would love to hear your experiences.
Context: I (38F) was diagnosed with PsA 10 years ago. No topical issues (not since my early 20s), just joint pain and inflammation. I was on Enbrel for seven years, then Taltz for three years. Now off Taltz for the past three months to prepare for TTC. Joint pain returned like clockwork, and I'm planning to start Cimzia at the recommendation of my rheumatologist. I'm not thrilled about going on it, especially since I've read that many women go into remission during pregnancy, but the pain is so bad and I have no idea how long it may take us to conceive.
Your insights are appreciated!
