I still managed to have two boys though.
You need to go and have a chat with your nurse/doctor. It may be something you will have to put up with as the inflammatory stuff does send different bits of us haywire sometimes.
You don't say how long you've been on the injections. It may be early days and things will settle down once your body gets more used to it.
Or your docs may decide to change you to something else. They usually start with Methotrexate.Only the medics can know what is right for you.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
I am not sure how old you are but I have read parts of a blog by Elizabeth who is 16 years old and growing up with JA. Perhaps you may be interested to read what she has to say.
