Ttc with heart med?

Question

Has anyone ttc while on heart med? I'm on it to slow my heart because it races and palpitates. I can't ttc for another month either way cause im ovulating now and were not having sex at all. Just wondering what some thoughts were? Please no bashing as I'm only 23. I haven't been through any of this before.

Answer

I have paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and take heart meds. I've been on them for 6 years now. I continued to take them through my pregnancy. I did have to up my med dose while pregnant because being pregnant does put some strain on your heart but it didn't cause me to be high risk while pregnant. It was very physically exhausting in the end though I will tell you that. I just turned 24. I would just talk to your Dr about it if I were you.

Answer

And it might be worth finding an OB before you get pregnant and that way you'll have clear guidance from conception on without a lag trying to establish care after.  Some
Might even consider this high risk so establishing care ahead of time might be helpful and beneficial for everyone

Answer

I'd talk to your cardiologist. Not all heart meds are ok for pregnancy- you'll want to switch and get leveled out again with the right dose before putting the extra strain on it (since your heart works harder during pregnancy).

Answer

Your doctor would know best.
