Medication Interactions & Pregnancy Concerns: Seeking Advice


Question
Dear Diane

Thank you for taking the time to read my question. I dont know if you will remember me but I have corresponded with you before. Anyway my question starts like this, I am currently taking 2000mg Cellcept, 8mg of prednisolone, 100 mg of Prozac and 20mg of Clomipramine. I also take microgynon combined pill. I am usually very careful and I always use condoms but I had sex last night and a little precum got into my vagina, we used a condom after this and he came into that. I know I may be worrying unessecarily and you may think me daft but I know that Cellcept can affect the pills effectiveness and it is very bad to become pregnant on this drug therefore i want to ask if you think I am at any risk of pregnancy or am I overreacting. I am always so carefull which makes me nervous anyway but just that little slip has concerned me, maybe I am worrying overly and just want some reassurance from a professional.

Thank you so much for your time, I hope you can help.

Jennifer

Answer
Dear Jennifer,

In my opinion, it is slightly possible for you to be pregnant in this situation. No, I don't think you daft at all. It is normal to be worried. I don't really know about cellcept. If you are pregnant, do you have to go off the medication and what will happen?

I don't know if I can give you much reassurance but I hope that you won't get pregnant if you don't want to be. But I also believe in God's will so whatever happens, you will have to accept.
Let me know if you develop any pregnancy symptoms or what else happens. I would urge you to refrain from sex as this might not be worth the worry (at least in my opinion).

Can you email me at CHERYL51@aol.com?
If we have corresponded before, use this email address because I have changed over from Yahoo.
Hope to hear from you soon.
