Need to have plan : There should be no attempt at getting pregnant until off Methotrexate completely but should not move forward until a plan in place that involves your obstetrician and rheumatologist. There are certain vitamin levels that need to be in appropriate range and will need to be supplemented before conception and during the pregnancy. There should be a protocol in place in case the rheumatoid flares.
