I just found out I am pregnant I am 37 so not youngest for my first pregnancy. It was planned so I am happy but also a bit worried what will be the next steps to manage my pregnancy as best I can. I am on Aspirin and Pegasys right now.
I was trying to google the management of PV pregnancies but haven't found much about it. I do have a hematologist but I wouldn't say she is an MPN specialist (not sure if we have any in Slovakia) and now I am worried if she knows what is the goal of treatment during pregnancy and what are the safe levels of blood counts and other things which should be monitored. I would like to know more myself so I can also keep an eye on it.
My questions are: Does anybody from here have experience with PV pregnancy? Or do you know what are the recommended ranges of blood counts during pregnancy? How often should I be monitored now? What should be monitored? Thanks for any reactions

Congratulations on your good news. Not sure if your healthcare system will pay for a consult outside of Slovakia, but if so there may be some options not too far away. .
If you are able to travel next door there is a MPN Specialist in Brno, Czech Republic.
Hope that works. I have family in Brno and have been there four times. It is a lovely city and great fun to visit. I never made it over to Slovakia, but it is on my to-do list.
Všetko najlepšie pre teba. Hope Google translate got that right!
Ooh, you've been in Brno 🤗 Yes it's a nice city with friendly people. Next time you should gtake a train to Slovakia, it's just one hour away :)... I am going to have an appointment with my gynecologist and hematologist next week. I'll see what plan they'll propose and then I'll contact doctor Doubek from Brno for a consultation.
I will put a trip to Slovakia on my agenda the next time I am over there. Hope you are able to get an appointment with the MPN Specialist without any trouble.
