ADD Medication while TTC?

Hollowvic · July 2014

I saw a post recently about ADHD meds while TTC. I took Adderall for my ADD until I started TTC. I've struggled with ADD my entire life and the medication was a life saver for me. As soon as I started TTC I stopped taking Adderall. Now I'm struggling at work, especially that I'm having TTTC, I can't focus on anything. I'm going to call my RE and ask this question, but I'm wondering what your thoughts are about taking Adderall the first two weeks of my cycle, until I ovulate, only days that I work, I don't take it on weekends. Then stop during the TWW. I really don't want to take it but everything in my life has been on hold since TTC and I'm tired of struggling if I don't have to.

I'm just so nervous about taking it. Trying to find it on her blog but I can't.

@NariaDreaming‌ just read your blog, thank you. It made me feel so much better. I'm going to discuss it with my RE but I can't imagine taking it during the first 2 weeks of my cycle can do any harm. That alone will make my life a little easier.

If it helps, I'm a clinical psycho-pharmacologist. Granted I work with children, but Research I've read suggests it's ok to stay on Adderall until the Bfp

My PCP told me I can take it until I get a BFP, I do want to stop it once I do get a BFP but my entire life is on hold while TTC and being as though I'm not getting pregnant I have to get back to some normal things in my life. Taking Adderall just when I work will help me tremendously.
