Enbrel while Pregnant or TTC

Has anyone here TTC or been pregnant while taking Enbrel? I know it's a type - b drug - but I have conflicting info. Rheumy says - okay while TTC though some say to stop taking 2-3 months prior to getting pregnant. Ob-Gyn says she'd prefer I not.

I have ankylosing spondylitis and for me Enbrel is a miracle drug. I've also read on the Kick A.S. forums women who had A.S. but never took Enbrel or any inhibitors . . . as it wasn't a consideration then. So a few of us women on a private message thought we'd kick it out to other larger communities we belong to

If there are any men at DU whose wives/SO's have been through this - would appreciate your responses as well.

Time and again - there are 6 of us there - we get conflicting info . . . I'd love first hand experience.
