Trying to conceive - just started Remicade

Hi! I have a question about trying to conceive and pregnancy:

I have been flaring for a couple years (since the second trimester of my first pregnancy). I started Remicade last week and I'm already having milder symptoms. Amazing! My question is - how long did you wait to try to conceive after you started to be in symptomatic remission?

One doctor I saw said that the formal recommendation is at least 3-6 months after a colonoscopy confirms remission. Another doctor suggested that simply being in remission should be sufficient.

Just curious about anyone's personal experiences here.

My doc said once it’s in remission it’s fine since *most* women feel better when pregnant 🤰

Thank you all for your input. I will wait a couple months from now at least. I just don't think I'll get another scope until next July/August.

There is certainly the pandemic to consider as well.

I flared badly during my first pregnancy even though I had a year or more of remission prior to conception. I was not on a biologic at the time, though. I suppose I anticipate flaring whether or not I wait 3-6 months, but perhaps it will be less extensive the longer I wait.

Thank you, again.
