this problem is very difficult to treat despite medications, regarding the pregnancy and its implications talk to your treating doctor in detail. injecting metho.. will work faster but side effects may be more like hairloss, nausea and vomiting, liver problems, red urine, bone marrow supression. dont worry too much abt the side effects the dose is always carefully
