Question 3

i'm 37 trying to conceive i'm on several medications that worry me please help me and let me know what ones make it harder to conceive?

Accepted Answer

More info please: Agree with dr. Lange's answer that we'd need the list and can't stress strongly enough that you should consult with the physician(s) who prescribed the medications as well as an OBgyn before changing medications or trying to conceive if you have a long med list. While medications may make it challenging to conceive, a further concern is that some medications may not be safe in early pregnancy

Question 4

what medication do i need to take when trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

Conception: Preconceptually, you should start a prenatal vitamin. These are sold over the counter in a variety of formulations. If you do not have regular cycles, you may need further evaluation to decide if you need other medications to aid in conceiving. Preconception counseling with an obstetrician is a great idea too so you can become familiar with any genetic risks you or your partner possess.

Question 5

which medications should be avoided by both my husband and i while trying to conceive?

Avoid as much: As possible.  In general if you are worried about conception, avoid taking medications if possible.  You may have particular medical ailments that require pharmacotherapy(as in medicines), and in that case, you may need to take particular medications.  But always review your prescribed medications with your doctor and voice your concerns about conception.
