hi.
thanks for posting query at HCM.
your strongly advised to visit a hepatologist and start the treatment for HepC infection and then may plan your baby thereafter. HepC infection is treatable now and may take from 12 to 24 weeks.
in addition, "oral" drugs are available now.
wish you good and sound health.
regards
Dr Tayyab Malik
