Hey is being on doxycycline for 10 days harmful to sperm when trying to conceive with your partner close to ovulation ? if the male only one taking it for a non std problem could i still get my girlfriend pregnant on that 10 mark would be ovulation?

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.
