Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have been on LDN for a couple years now and have been doing great. My husband and I are now considering having a child. Has anyone stayed on LDN while trying to get pregnant or is there any specific information out there about the subject? I have researched it myself and it looks like the risks are minimal but my doctor doesn't agree. He sees the Category C label, which is for 50 mg, and gets scared. He has implied that he will not continue with my prescriptions if I am trying to get pregnant. I would like to take him some specific info on LDN but so far I haven't found anything. Thanks for your help. NBIPAKC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 this is another message that came today Hi All! I just noticed this recent addition to the LDN website (www.low dose naltrexone.org). Phile Boyle writes his response to the questions " Can LDN be taken during pregnancy? How about while breast feeding? " ..... Dr. Phil Boyle, a specialist in fertility care in Galway, reported the following in 2008: I am confident that LDN is perfectly safe in pregnancy and in certain cases will actually reduce the risk of miscarriage. W. Hilgers, M.D, of the US, who developed the fertility treatment I provide, has used high dose naltrexone...up to 100mg throughout pregnancy and during breastfeeding safely without ill effect to mother or baby since 1985. I have been prescribing LDN regularly during pregnancy [for several years] and the results have been excellent. Clinical experience has proven to me that it is safe. I just wanted to bring that to the attention of anyone who is contemplating taking LDN in either or both of these situations.
