A member asked:

My fiancee has been taking methadone for a little over a year now but has been tapering down. do we still have a shot at getting pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely : But i would definitely suggest she get completely off the methadone before attempting pregnancy. Also, make sure she's taking at least 400 mcg of folic acid daily.
