Can lexapro (escitalopram) affect female fertility?

No: Not unless it isn't working to combat depression and you are too depressed to engage in sexual activity.

No: No, it does not effect fertility. Depression and/or stress can effect it, however. If you are having issues with fertility, you need to talk to your GYN.
