Anybody pregnant and on Interferon

[Rani36]

Hello, I am Valentina, diagnosed ET, currently 10 week pregnant and just started Iterferon alpha 2b (Intron A). I am a bit scared for my baby and the side effect first time were pretty rough. I could be very happy if there are some women who went or are going thru simmilar...

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.

Hope someone contacts you soon.

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
