A member asked:
My wife has severe ra and takes a high dose of methotrexate weekly..do we need birth control or can she even get pregnant while on the methotrexate?

Methotrexate not bc: While Methotrexate isn't *helpful* with conception, it isn't going to make your wife sterile. I would suggest good contraception.

See details: Pregnancy can occur while on methotrexate. If it does occur Methotrexate is likely to cause major abnormalities in the fetus. Use contraception.
