Accepted Answer

Probably no harm. Older studies suggest doxycycline might reduce sperm motility and therefore reduce the odds of conception. However, it causes no apparent DNA damage and not known to risk the health of a resulting embryo or fetus.

Question 2

Iv just came back from africa and have 13 more doxycycline to take when can i start trying to get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Complete your Doxycycline Rx and wait for the next normal period before considering conception, just in case you contracted an infection from Africa.(malaria, etc.)

Question 3

Can i get pregnant if my husband has proatatitis and is currently taking 100mg of doxycycline hyclate twice daily?

Accepted Answer

...make sure it's prostatitis. Most "prostatitis" in younger men actually is nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), which is an STD -- often caused by chlamydia, plus other sexually transmitted germs. NGU is commonly treated with doxy but prostatitis is not. You and he both need STD testing if not done. If prostatitis is confirmed, however, it's not harmful and not likely to interfere with conception.

Question 4

I am about to start taking doxycycline for one week to treat a small outbreak on my skin - how long after taking it do i have to wait to get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

You are only taking one week of Doxycycline so even if you got pregnant the first day of taking it the baby would not be formed beyond a few cells. No need to delay.

Antibiotics decrease the absorption of the pill and therefore decrease its effectiveness. You should always use a backup measure or abstain while on an antibiotic if you are on the bcp.

Unlikely but possible. Do a pregnancy test if the end of the cycle shows no period before you start your next pack of pills.
