Thanks, Angela Wright, I tried Googling the whole thing myself but came up totally empty...
Thanks for the number, by the way.
It’s honestly so weird to me that the doctors at the hospital haven't even heard of this stuff.
On Tuesday, I’m making the trip from my place out to Washington, D.C. to see the specialist who originally prescribed her treatment.
I really want to get as many expert opinions as possible. I'm not looking to play games with my health, you know?
Thanks again

Hey there

So, here’s the deal
We found out my wife was pregnant four days ago, and then the very next day she just completely collapsed—passed out cold because of this intense abdominal pain. The ER rushed her in... they were all worried it might be an ectopic pregnancy...
Turns out, it wasn't ectopic at all, just an ovarian cyst. But here's the kicker... my wife conceived while she was actually on Lyrica, which her specialist had prescribed for those chronic migraines of hers. AND HE EXPLICITLY TOLD HER NOT TO GET PREGNANT WHILE ON THIS MEDICATION.
The ultrasound today showed the embryo is right where it should be in the uterus and everything looks okay so far (growth rate and all that...), but the doctors can't give me a straight answer on whether there will be any neurological fallout for the baby later on.
The head nurse at the clinic actually told me today, "Well, you guys are young, you'll have more kids eventually"
Basically, she was implying she wouldn't take the risk. My wife is currently about 6 weeks along.
Does anyone here know anything about the potential consequences of being on Lyrica during pregnancy??
