Staying on meds or going off meds?

Heather

We’ve been TTC without being on my bipolar medication and it hasn’t been going very well. I’m starting back on meds. I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this and if they’ve conceived while on medications. How did that go? Any noticeable effects that transferred to the fetus? I’m just really worried of how it’ll affect the fetus while also trying to stay mentally healthy myself. Or if I should just accept that I can’t do both, have a healthy baby and stay mentally okay. I’m currently in therapy, but medication is the only thing I’ve found that makes me feel like a functioning person.

Any input helps. Thanks!
