Hi,

I'm the wife of a man w/ MS too. I visit this board sporadically. It doesn't seem that lots of men post here. It's true that MS is more common among women, but I also think that women are more likely to reach out and support each other through this type of forum.

I would ask your gynocologist to research the Rebif or, like Jewel said, call the rebif manufacturer directly ... but I would ask the person on the help line to send documentation and have your doctor review it.

We had infertility issues ... I had trouble getting pg and when I DID get pg, I had trouble staying pg. I do not believe our issues were directly caused my husband's MS. We did some infertility testing and minimal treatment but the stress of having to "perform on demand" was incredible on him and it did affect him and some of our testing and treatment was occassionally postponed or delayed due to stress. We gave up treatment fairly early and adopted. Then we went on to have a surpise pregnancy and by applying what we learned in early failures, I stayed pregnant.

I wish you and your husband both the best as you build your family. ((hugs))
