I am curious if any of you have had a baby since you were diagnosed with A.S.S.? I am trying to decide to if I want to get my tubes tied. I will be 33 in a couple of weeks and I have one son and I would like to get married and have one more kid. I know that I would be able to adopt a child should I decide to go this rout. I know when I was diagnose with Psoriatic Arthritis I was told that pregnacy was ok. Jen

No Jen, I have not had a baby but from one who has ASS, I think you are too young to have your tubes tied just yet. Espedially if you have been told in the past that pregnancy would be o.k. This disease can be treated with much success. Good luck!!!

Hello Jen, 2 years ago, I lost my baby at 27 weeks of pregnancy but at that time, i didn't know i was seek. Now, I would like to have another baby and the doctors say this is the good time because of the stability of my symptoms. It's possible to have a baby with ASS in remission but it must be controled. Imuran and steroid can be used with pregnancy. I hope have a baby with success next year ! if your last pregnancy was ok there are no reason to have your tubes ties ! you're young :D Take care of you. Cécile

My last pregnanacy was before this diagnosis. I hope when you try again you get to have a healthy baby. I know that I could adopt if I wanted to because I have been pregnant before. Jen

I havent,, but if you are in a stable state and doing well there is no reason not to..I have had ASS since I was young and have 4 healthy children..so good luck.. sometimes they can cause you more grief than this disease can.. LOL
