How old are you and why is the methotrexate being prescribed, RA? I'm not all that familiar with Cimzia but had to use methotrexate for a tubal pregnancy many years ago. I know a teenager that takes it for RA and I have talked to her about the fertility side effects and/or challenges she will face in the future. She said it is very effective for the RA though.
Please let me know about both meds.
