A member asked:
While i'm on rituximab, is it dangerous for us (my wife and i) to try to have a baby? or we should wait for me to finish the treatment first?

Wait: I would urge that you wait about 3 months after your final infusion before trying to conceive.

Wait: Many drugs, including rituxan, (rituximab) could have harmful effects on a growing fetus. Wait until your therapy is over and discuss with your obstetrician.
