Hi,
If you have been declared to be completely free from the disease, there are certain things to be checked for before trying to conceive; your uterus and tubes should be checked for any possibility of infection and patency and ovulation should be regular. You may try to conceive within a month or two after stopping the medication after getting the clearance from your doctor. Also the extent of damage to the spine and its effect on any future pregnancy should be borne in mind. Hope your query is clarified. Wish you good health.
