Hi, Valentina, congratulations on your pregnancy. I can’t help you but I know there are people in the forum who can. I also know people have successfully given birth to healthy babies.

Hi Valentina,

I will hopefully be in the same boat as you soon so I’d love to keep in touch on how you’re going :)

Sorry to hear the side effects the first time were rough. I’ve done a lot of reading about interferon (in preparation for what to expect) and majority say the side effects get better each time as your body gets used to it.

I am seeing an MPN specialist in Melbourne in a few days to discuss starting interferon so we can start trying for a baby :)

Take care xx
