Do i have to stop propecia (finasteride) while trying to conceive a baby with my wife? if yes, how long before start trying to conceive? thank you!

Maybe not: You do not have to stop Propecia (finasteride) before TTC, many couples are successful while the husband's take that drug. If your partner does not conceive in a normal time frame, stopping the Propecia (finasteride) may be a good step - typically up to 3 months to completely restore a normal sperm count. Good wishes.
