Is there an alternative/substitute for to methotrexate that is safe to use if you want to fall pregnant. i'm using this medication for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. this is the only medication that seems to be helping at the moment.

Alternatives: There are alternatives for methotrexate. In order to have health well monitored during pregnancy would suggest establishing with an Obs-Gyn specialist now in preconceiving stage. This way he or she can connect to your rheumatologist and discuss management during pregnancy ahead of time.
