Hi,I wanted to ask if azothioprine 50-100mg safe to take during pregnancy from the beginning .i have ulcerative colitis which does not stay in remission on any other medication. I recently suffered a still birth at 22 weeks with evidence of a missing ear and facial deformity I was on 20 mg of steroids and on mesalamine 400mg 3 tbs x 3 times daily at the time of conception.which I was advised to immediately reduce to 2 tbs twice daily. Since dosage could cause risk to the fetus. I flared up minorly at 8 weeks which settled down with no change to medication. Was on 10 mg steroids and 2 mesalamine twice daily.flared up more serverely at 16 weeks onwards.which did not settle down. I wanted to know if there s are chance of having a successful pregnancy on azothioprine as It kept me in remmission for a year and 6 monthes after discontinuing. Thank you
