Will Taking Acthar Affect Fertility Or A Pregnancy?
I am 35 and have had fertility problems in the passed. Have not tried to get pregnant in 14years but will be attempting in the next 6mo but I was also recently diagnosed with a rheumatic condition (Systemic Dermatomyositis) and have been perscribed Acthar which I am scheduled to start soon. What I would like to know is if this drug will affect my fertility or pregnancy.

You need to take that tablet for your condition. It will not affect your conception.
Continue that tablet after you are pregnant also.
Start tb folic acid 5 mg now as you are trying to conceive.
