Hi,

it would be great if somebody familiar with the subject can help!

My friend is pregnant in early stage and she asked me if i could help her with her research about the Nivestim injection therapy she takes as her English is not very good!

She had a miscarriage TWICE before this pregnancy!

The short answer that we got from the Google search was that taking a Nivestim Injection therapy was NOT recommended during pregnancy in any stage, nor to women who breast-feed, yet her Gynecologist prescribed a therapy with these exact injections.

Does anyone know why she got prescribed this therapy?

Thanks in advance,

John

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your friends dilemma.

    Could I suggest that you call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, and support.

    We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    All the very best.
