Hi All,

I'm new to this site HOPING I can find some answers or a direction to go in.

I have been a stable bipolar for 3+ years dx'ed for 7-8 years. I currently take 400 mgs of Tegratol, split morning and bedtime, 3 mgs of Klonopin, split 3x a day and 300 mgs of Seroquel XR at bedtime. This regime works really well for me and has for almost a year.

My husband and I are using IVF in August to start our family, but all of my meds are not recommended for a fetus, not even in smaller doses. I really want to do what is best for my planned baby, but I also want to remain stable and healthy. I've talked to my pdoc and she said to talk to my fertility doctor about my meds (which isn't his speciality...seems like an OB would be the reasonable person to ask, BUT I don't have one yet!!! And I am on the road for work with my husband, so finding one is right now is out of the question). My fertility doctor said to talk to my pdoc.

I have tried and tried to find anything, something on the 'Net and keep coming up empty handed...

I have two months until the procedure, so I have a little breathing room if I need to taper down my meds. Where do I go for answers? Does anyone know of an expert in this area who I can call? Any personal experiences?

All conscructive info is VERY much appreciated!
