Is It Safe To Conceive 14 Months After A Heart Transplant?

Hi, I m 22 years old. I had heart transplant 14 months ago. I have had no signs of rejection, infection or issues with blood pressure. I want to get pregnant and I was hoping to get some advice about whether it is safe to conceive so soon after the heart transplant and what some of the risks may be.

Hi,

After one year of heart transplant, immunosuppressive therapy is reduced and you also don't have any symptoms of rejection, heart function and blood pressure are satisfactory. You can plan for pregnancy after 6 months more (so that the heart gets ready to sustenance more stress of pregnancy. This has to be confirmed by investigations &examination by the cardiac surgeon.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
