A member asked:
My friend is on methotrexate for psoriasis (25mg/week). she had unprotected sex once. she fears she is pregnant. is it even possible with such dose?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible : It would be possible, but would most probably result in a chemical pregnancy. Follow-up with your doctor soon of home pregnancy tests show positive in the next 6 weeks.

Yes: Methotrexate at that dose is more likely to damage the fetus than to prevent or end pregnancy.
