A member asked:
I stopped accutane 6 months ago and i'm trying to get pregnant and having difficulties. is it the cause and could it damage all my eggs? i'm scared

No relation: There is no evidence to suggest that as long as you wait a month after taking Accutane it will affect your ability to become pregnant. It certainly does nothing to affect your ovaries. It only affects the developing fetus.
