After ITP recovery, when can I safely get pregnant?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old girl who suffered from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura three months ago. I was under treatment for the next three months with Corticosteroids and Imuran (Azathioprine). After three months, the doctor did not give me any treatment as my platelet count was normal.

Now I asked him whether I can get pregnant. But he did not recommend it. But I wanted to become a mother, and I want to know when I can get pregnant.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I went through your query and understood your concern.

The cause of your reduced platelet count was not clear. If no cause is found, then it could be idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). A bone marrow aspiration study can be done to confirm it.

This disease shows a response to a steroid. You can wait for five to six months to check whether any relapse occurs or not. You can consult a nearby specialist for your physical examination.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
