Hey Everyone,

My husband and I have been talking about trying to have a baby. My husband has had Lyme and other TBD's for over 4 yrs. I do not test positive, but have some symptoms of Lyme. Our 5 yr old has Lyme and TBD's. He was bitten at 9months old but we have always wondered if that tick wasnt what gave him Lyme, maybe me?

Has anyone tried to get pregnant while having Lyme or having a spouce with Lyme? Any feedback/thoughts/comments/experiences would be very welcomed...

Thanks [Smile]

I was treated for Lyme in 2001 and I had my second child in 2004. Thank God he is okay and I did not take abx while pregnant. Good luck!

I had five kids (one is adopted) and the only one who got Lyme had a tick bite of her own.
