A member asked:

I just took a month of doxycycline. how long after my last dose do i need to wait to conceive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Basics: It takes 4-6 half lives (time for 1/2 to be gone from the body) for a drug to be completely gone. The 1/2 life of this drug is ~1 day. A week would give you enough time to clear it from your system. The cited average wait for a desired pregnancy is 6 mo with a range from weeks to 1 yr.
