Hello ma'am and welcome.

The medications you are on are quite strong and can cause infertility as a temporary side effect. Even if conception is reached, at this point it would be best to abort.

So the best advise would be to wait until you are off the medications and then try to conceive after an elaborate evaluation by your doctor. For now, your health is top priority.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
