Thanks for your answer Cajim. Doctor said I have a healthy liver. Would stopping Tenofovir be harmful really?

Hy Enolia,
I saw that you are pregnant! Congratulations! You still take Tenofovir? We want a baby too, and i will talk with my doctor to change my medicine Enetecavir with Tenofovir. How are you feel? The baby is fine, is health? I wish, if you want to keep in touch about your pregnant, iff all is ok! I wish you, that you and your baby to be health and keep in touch!
I spoke to my doctor and he is says it is safe. It is not allowed officially during pregnancy but the statistics show that there is no harm to baby...There is also a report you could check
the Antiretrovial Pregnancy Registry and the birth defect or abortion rate are similar to the normal borth defect rates (around 2.4%). See this

Now, I don't know about your medication. If Dr says ok then I believe it is fine.
Good luck.
Hello,
I saw your message and I am in the same situation, if I can say that....I take entecavirum by 2 years and we want a baby!! I read that the tenofovir make part of goup B like risks for baby and the pregnant which take tenofovit during pregnancy have a healthy babies, but nothing is not sure in this world... My doctor says that is ok to have a baby during the treatment, but I don't know....
You must go at the doctor and ask what are the risks for the baby if you take tenofovir and pls tell me his response. I understood that in Europe exist 9 case with mother which have a baby health after tenofovir in pregnancy. I am curious that is somebady in this situation.

Thanks for your answer Cajim. Doctor said I have a healthy liver. Would stopping Tenofovir be harmful really? Thanks. Sometimes, I think I should have studied the question before starting the treatment but I knew nothing about HBV treatments when dr prescribed Tenfovir, so I feel bad now. I am still relatively young and don`t want to spend my life treating HBV with different medications :(
1. Many parents with HBV have normal healthy babies as long as proper care and monitoring are done.
2. Antiviral treatments such as Tenofovir cannot not be stopped at will for fear of flares.
3. Whether you should stop Tenofovir or replace it with a drug less risky to your pregnancy depends on your liver condition which your doctor/specialist would know best.
