Question 1

my husband was just prescribed 7 days of levofloxacin.  is there an amount of time we should wait before trying to conceive a baby?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Wait until it is completed and the source of the infection is cleared, especially if it was due to a prostate gland infection.

Question 2

i was on gabapentin for a year 600mg how long should i wait before trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

Out of your system?: Gabapentin should be out of your system quite quickly. Most drugs are no longer in the body after one week.Of stopping. So give it one or two weeks and you should be ready to go.

Question 3

partner binge drinks most weekends. now stopped, how long should we wait before trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

Think this through: Hoping you take time to really think this through, before getting pregnant.  Has your partner been working a 12 step recovery program?  Have you been attending al-anon to learn about alcoholism and co-dependency?  If the answer to both is no, you're dealing with a very unstable situation -- not one that's conducive to becoming a family ready to deal with a new baby. I wish you both the best.

Question 4

how long should i wait before trying to conceive.? i was recently in a car crash and one of my injuries was a broken sternum.

Accepted Answer

3 mo: If you are healed and feel fine i would say anytime or 3 mo after the injuries whichever is first.

Question 5

i used alprazolam (0,25mg or 0,5mg per day) for a few days, 9 weeks ago. how long do i need to wait before trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

: Alprazolam has an elimination half life between 11 hours and 24 hours, meaning the average individual will eliminate all of the medication with a few days. The FDA has not established a pregnancy category for this medication. There are no adequate studies in pregnant women to provide information on drug-related risk. Alprazolam may cause fetal harm when administered during pregnancy.

Question 6

how long do you need to wait before trying to conceive, after having a dental x-ray (no apron)?

Accepted Answer

: Not for a second.  The effect of the x-ray is instantaneous, and will have no ongoing effect on you ability to conceive.  We are obviously supposed to follow protocol and cover the patient's body with a lead shield. Just so you know the amount of radiation to which you are exposed for a dental x-ray survey is very low these days. You will receive more rays walking on the beach on a sunny day.

Question 7

how long should i wait after stillbirth before trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

2 cycles: Let your body heal, and reestablish a normal menstrual.

Question 8

want to get rid of ovarian cyst fast, what do you recommend doing so, and do you think i should wait until it's resolved before trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

PCOS: has been treated with hormones (birth control pills). Fertility pills. METFORMIN, and diet/weight loss/exercise.
There's not a lot of data on increased pregnancy risk from PCOS... just infertility.

Question 9

hi there, my husband and i are trying to conceive, hes taking redotex ... does this affect the chances of having a baby?

Accepted Answer

Since REDOTEX: is NOT an accepted treatment nor anything (including weight control) there is no reason i can think of why he cannot STOP the drug while you are trying to conceive!!

It's a CHEMICAL and any chemicals taken by BOTH Partners can have effects that have NOT NECESSARILY been discovered yet!
MY OPINION ONLY  but hope it helps

Question 10

any special diet myself or husband she be on while trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

A healthy one: A healthy diet is best when ttc. While special diets for fertility have been touted, it's truly best to just eat healthy, exercise regularly, and simply be healthy. If you want further elaboration, it may be in your best interest to sit down with your fertility doctor and review things important to do before conception (like a woman taking sufficient folic acid).
