Ok so my husband and I have been round and round this baby tree <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> We went from trying it on our on to surrogate ( non tradional) to on our own to surrogate to adoption. We spent the past year getting adoption certified and friday we found out that we were not picked for the only child in 6 months that was a fit for us. During this whole time my maternal instict has been creeping up and I have been pushing it back. The reason we decided not to try on our own was because I am factor 5 liden and prone to blood clots. But the more I read there are lots of women who have kids with this. My mom and grandma did it. As for the CF im not too worried about my numbers at my last visit I was at 86% and we did 3 weeks of iv's so Im sure im back up in the low 90's. So this seems liks a great time to try and now Im looking at my meds and what I can and cant take during pregnancy. It said Duoneb and albuterol were class C. What does everyone or did everyone take during pregnacy?

Here are my problem ones...

Duoneb ( Albuterol)
Qvar
SIgular ( cant find info on it)
Cipro
Zithromax
Xanax - which I am going to try to switch to busiprone
Celexa - just going to have to cut it in half


Does anyone have any help on what they used during pregnancy?
Thanks so much everyone!!!!

All I can help you with is I took Xopenex (refined albuterol-less side effects) and Pulmozyme (one of my cf dr.s described it to me as the molecules being to large to pass through the placenta- this when when it was first approved). Good luck!

Zithromax should be fine. It was prescribed for me when I was pregnant at the full antibiotic dose.

Look around on the pregnancy page of www.geocities.com/MurrensNatureMama There should be a link there to a website that tells the safety of different drugs for pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you can't find it or the link doesn't work properly, email me through the website or send me a private message here and I'll try to help you.

I have MTHFR. Because I have never had an actual blood clot *and* my homocystiene levels are extremely low, I am fortunately to avoid the Lovenox protocal for pregnancy. I have to take mega folic acid (specific to MTHFR) and baby aspirin daily.

My sister is not so fortunate. While she has a lesser form of the MTHFR, she also had blood clots 2 years ago. So, if she wants to be pregnant, she has to go the same route someone with Factor V Lieden must take.

I still have to do the full high-rish protocal with a perinatalogist, ftr, just not the Lovenox.

Even with what my sister has to do, she's been planning to pursue one more baby in the near future. She only has one child, whom she had at 20. And, she's realized she isn't ready to be done raising kids before she's 40.

While I'm incredibly grateful I get to avoid the Lovenox for pregnancy (not nearly so fortunate for post-surgery as I discovered this spring), I still have to consider all the risks of having a clotting disorder and now a history of repeated miscarriages caused by that disorder. We thought we had decided no more pregnancies because of this. God decided otherwise. But, I'll be 34 weeks this Thursday and baby boy is doing GREAT despite all the odds and struggles.

Clotting disorders don't negate your ability to carry a child. It just means you get to follow a different reality than a normal pregnant woman.
