What is the recommended time between stopping Methotrexate and becoming pregnant? In anticipation of a new pregnancy, is it advisable to take a folic acid supplement at a higher dosage (5mg rather than 1mg)?

Hello, the optimal time between the cessation of methotrexate in either partner and the onset of pregnancy has not been clearly established. In the literature, the recommended time varies from 3 to 12 months. It is recommended to take folic acid concomitantly during the treatment with methotrexate. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact your doctor. I wish you good luck.
