Hi everyone, i posted a while ago about whether anyone has had any advice/info on when to stop enbrel before trying to conceive as my current rheumy/anti TNF clinic were very vague.

I've since transferred to a hospital nearer to home and have had my first consultation with my new rheumy and new anti TNF nurse and i asked the same question. They said that they stick to a hard line of you must be off it for 6 months before trying to conceive and if a patient of theirs fell pregnant whilst taking enbrel or in the 6 months after stopping they would be offered and encouraged to have a termination.

I just thought this was interesting information to impart, as other advice i've been given has been quite vague. I don't take a full dose so i'd be comfortable to stick to the drug company advice which is 4 months. Such a difficult decision to make that i though the more info the better.
