They are pregnant.
They received Rebif® for treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) within one week before or at any time after conception.

Following enrollment in the Registry, diagnostic tests may be performed at any time during the pregnancy.
They have not used Copaxone® for treatment of MS within the previous three months and have not been exposed to Novantrone®, Imuran®, Cytoxan®, Tysabri® or methotrexate at any time.
