IS TRILEPTAL SAFE TO TAKE BEFORE & WHILE PREGNANT?

Hi, I have been taking Trileptal for 8 years now and have done great with it.  I would like to be pregnant in a couple of years and was wondering if anyone has been pregnant while taking the drug.  My doctors are insisting that I change over to Lamictil so that my pregnancy will be safer.  Any advice anyone??
