Hi everyone,

This is probably a bit of a long shot but I see in the past people have made references to Azathioprine, a drug used in Crohns/Colitis.

My partner and I were hoping to start a trying for a baby next month but he is getting cold feet as he is on Azathioprine and there have been studies linking birth defects to the use of this drug by the man during conception.

I would be really greatful to hear from anyone else who has been/is in this situation or could tell me if it is something we need to be aware of. I know he is alreasdy worried about the possibility of passing on the Crohns and am worried that coupled with this he would rather not risk having an unhealthy child.

Thank you.
