Hi Peak,
I also got diagnosed with MS a few weeks ago. My doctors wanted to start with Mabthera, but due to covid, they said I should now take Tecfidera until I get vaccinated for Covid and several other things. I am taking Tefcidera for only 3 weeks now, which means I don’t have much experience with it but so far I didn’t notice any side effects.
I am not planning to have a baby but they told me, when I want to have a one and take Mabthera, I should stop the treatment some months before trying to get pregnant.

I think Mabthera would be very convenient, compared to Tecfidera, which I have to take twice a day and it always reminds me that I am “sick” even if I don’t feel any symptoms right now… but if you want to be pregnant, maybe you should talk to your doctor again!

All the best 🙂
