Information on pregnancy and being on 6-MP

I read a question posted from someone else re: information that I would like to research.  I would also like to find this person "Jen", and chat to find out if her and her husband finally did conceive and have a healthy child.  I am desperate to get more definitive information on this topic, and have hit dead ends.  If you could put me in touch with this person who posted the question, that would be great.  If you could give me information on where I can go to research this topic online, that would be great, too!

: My husband is taking 6-mercaptopurine for his ulcerative colitis and we want to start trying to get pregnant. We have been told that he should stop taking the medication AND be off it for 6 months before trying to conceive, but we have not been told about what data support that advice. We have postponed getting pregnant for awhile and don't want to wait much longer ...



If anyone out there can help me research this topic in more depth, or can share their personal story ... PLEASE e-mail me at ***@****



Thank you.
