Hard to know: It has been "suggested" that might be the case. But, I am not sure how hard the data is to back that up. REF: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3573589/

Not likely: There is anecdotal data suggesting a possible relationship, but there is no definitive information that this is the case. However, as with all medications and conception, caution is the better part of valor.
