Does anyone's DH take antidepressants? If so, did you have a hard time getting pg?

My sister's ex-husband was taking antidepressants ( probably still is) and they conceived :bigboy: 1st month trying.

Good to know! Thanks!

I started reading some stuff about it and it made me freak out a little that all my swaying would make it impossible to get pg. I read that antidepressants can cause low sperm count. But, if this is due to lower testosterone, I think my DH is fine. He has been tested before and it came back above average due to the supplements he takes for the gym.

It's not lower testosterone, it's that antidepressants are actually harmful to the sperm. Testosterone and sperm quality can actually be totally divorced from one another, which is why guys on steroids can have sky high T levels and yet be totally infertile.

So...this is good for me in one way b/c it sways pink, right? BUT, do you think all the swaying + the meds could make it really hard to get PG?

Yes, it certainly may but you won't know till you try.
