This probably sounds crazy but any advice and information would be helpful. Thank you :)

Don't change your family plans just on this disorder. I would definitely, without question, risk a flare to have kids. If you have to stop taking your meds, for the short term, it would be more than worth it. I can't imagine life without my little munchkin.
