There have been a few posts about propecia but they are a few years old. I’m wondering if there’s any new info or thoughts about DH taking propecia while ttc a girl? Past posts seem to indicate it should sway pink?
My DH has been taking it for 5ish years and was on it while we conceived both of our sons. DH started losing his hair in his mid 20s but the propecia has notably slowed that. His father started losing his hair early on in life as well.
TIA!

It very likely sways pink, although I don't want any men starting it JUST for swaying as it may have risks, for a guy who's taking it anyway, it sill only help. Even though it didn't go your way with previous conceptions and it never comes down to one thing, it very probably does sway pink.

No licorice root, pep tea, soy milk for him while on Propecia.

Thanks!
What would the effect of soy milk be?
DH is lactose intolerant so the substitutes I cook with are often soy based products instead of dairy based (soy based cream cheese, sour cream, cheese, butter, etc). For milk we use lactose free milk instead of soy milk and I drink regular milk.

It may lower sperm health and quality and count too far and make it harder for you to get pregnant. Sicne the Propecia already does that, it's like a double whammy.
