| Hi Everyone, Has anyone ever taken MTX or your husbands and had to stop or replace the drug in order to get pregnant? We have been cautioned not to get pregnant until he has been off MX (Methotrexate) for 4 months. I would like to know if people switched meds, what did they switch too, or their experience os stoping the drug completly, also does anyone really know exactly what this drug does that is so bad? ( i hear that it causes miscarriages) please help... Thanks again

methotrexate is a teratogenic drug-that means it can be harmful to a fetus/embryo.

| I believe MTX can lower the man's sperm count, or motility (can't remember which). I think the man has to stop his MTX 1 month before TTC.
