Hi Jess,
I hope this treatment continues to help you. As far as your friend, she really has no right to judge you. You are being very responsible delaying pregnancy until the time is right for you, if ever. Your friend obviously doesn't have a clue as to what AS or the treatments for it is about. I know that doesn't help you though in dealing with her. How close are you to her? Is the friendship/relationship worth trying to educate her? If only this disease were better known and more understood, she might not be making those judgements. Hugs, Wanda
