first trimester tetratogenicity "likelyhood"?
i read the blogs,mfg info and warnings against pregnancy,the registry and 3rd party opinions. but no where do i see,based on pregnancies "known" to date,what the "likelyhood" that a full term pregnancy will result in birth defects,or that miscarriage will occur.just a lot of extrapolating,pontificating,speculating.after all,this med has been used for some time now,pregnancies have occured,babies have been born(or not).any resources showing real time, "to date" data links would be appreciated. i have a family member,3 weeks in treatment,now pregnant.
i was some kind of a pig or summin"
Uh do you really want me to answer that one Seymour my dear friend? ;)

Not everyone yet realizes that their doctors aren't God because many doctors act as if they are and want their patients to think that they are.
Most people just stumble in blindly and take whatever the prescribed thing is and never think to look anything up. I did the same thing before this disease made me obsessive, how many friends now make sure to get all their lab reports because I've hounded them for so long - and they get so excited when they see something and go "hey look my cholesterol is down" or some such thing.
When it comes to pregnancy and a child's birth defects I think the doctor is OBLIGATED to make sure the patient thoroughly knows and understands just how dangerous this can be. If they don't then they are at fault morally ethically and every other which way they can be held culpable in my opinion.
We're not talking something trivial here.

Not to quick to give the doctor a pass on this, its their job to warn people of the dangers of these meds and IF h/she didn't them thats not right.
Well not ever being pregnant :) I ask some girls in the office if it was possible to know if you are after only 2 weeks, after they said they really doubt it they started to congrat me and my wife..... So then i assured them it was not my wife, wouldn't be possible for her so then they wanted to know if i was some kind of a pig or summin...... YIKES
