Want to get pregnant while on Lamictal
Tue, 04/07/2009 - 16:27So, I know everyone's different when it comes to seizures and medications; but I'm hoping to get some positive vibes. I am 28 years old and my husband and I want to start trying to have a baby in either October or November. A while ago my neurologist told me when I decide that I want to have a baby to let him know at least 6 months before we start trying. So I told him in February when we wanted to start. I'm on Keppra and Lamictal, but he wants me on just one medication. That being said, I chose to stay on Lamictal because I had really bad side affects with Keppra. So, I'm off Keppra in 2 weeks and he increased my dosage for Lamictal to 400 mg a day (I'm a little nervous with the transition but trying to stay positive). He said I should be fine being that I haven't had a seizure since Sept. 2006 and my seizures are controllable. He told me all the information that I needed to know about being pregnant while on Lamictal. Oh, and I am also taking Folic Acid. Although he told me everything I needed to know, I also want to get some feedback from women who are pregnant or were pregnant while being on Lamictal. Were your seizures controllable while on Lamictal before becoming pregnant? And were there any changes while being pregnant?
I would love to hear some feedback, thanks!

My name is Fidela Conner from USA my partner and I have been trying to have baby for over two years now, We have been going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months and we have done so many test and the test stated that there is nothing wrong with us, So one day when i was on the internet for buisness purpose, i came across a post about DR OVIA how he helped a lady to get pregnant, so without thinking twice i contacted him on droviasolutioncenter@gmail.com, then i told him my problem, he told me that he will help me that i will conceive, he really helped me and did a pregnancy spell for me and now i am happy to be a mother of twins, a boy and girl. And I'm glad we came to DR OVIA Because his pregnancy spell put us at ease, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. contact him via email: droviasolutioncenter@gmail.com or you can contact him through his website http://droviasolutioncenter.webs.com/ or call him on his mobile number +2347067610698
