Hey boyfriend and I have decided to start trying to have a baby. I'm not sure what that looks like for us bipolar folks. I've received conflicting advice from doctors over the years in terms of meds and all of that. I'm on lamictal now and Ativan as needed. The Lamictal is at 400 mgs. I had one doctor tell me that 100 mg is the top dose during pregnancy. My doctor now says it is totally safe.
For all of the mamas, what did you do with your med situation for better or worse? How was your bipolar during the experience? Did the hormones+bipolar make your life incredibly difficult? I'm nervous but excited and would love any advice y'all have to give!
