A member asked:

Should women with itp stay away from anything that increases estrogen? like pregnancy and hormonal birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Pregnancy and pre-existing itp can be complicated but manageable with good outcome for mother and baby. There is no problem with hormonal birth control.
