[|Human|] Hi, I herniated a disc in my spine three weeks ago. Pain is being controlled by amitriptyline, diclofenac, diazepam and codiene phosphate. My partner and I had hoped to try and add to our family in the new year. Im now concerned as to how long we should wait after I finish taking medication before trying to conceive. Any advice please?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for the question. I can understand the seriousness and difficulty of your situation that you are facing.  It's safe to conceive while you are on this medication, but you have to be careful as stress on lower back can exacerbate your pain.  Disc prolapse is not a contraindication unless you have sign/symptoms of spinal cord compression that are urinary/fecal retention or incontinence.  Hope you have got your answer but if you have any query, feel free to ask me. Thanks
