Question about fertility

[excitedsarah]

I wAs wondering if there are things that can affect sperm count. My husband takes hydroxycut, a diet supplement. We have been ttc for a year and I was just curious. Does an acne drug called accutane affect it? I took that In my early 20's. I
almost thirty and am hoping that we can have a baby. I'm just soooo anxious. Is there anything else that can lower sperm

BFQ - Big Fat Question Mark

Hey....Looking for answers

I'm a 25 year-old, married mom of a wonderful 3yo girl. I haven't had a BFP, yet, but have a lot of questions.

Here's the beginning of the story - In Sept, while on The Pill, I had a period that lasted 3 and a half weeks! Doc told me in was a hormonal reaction the The Pill and had me go off it. Since then, DH and I have use condoms whenever we - ahem. While I was having that ridiculously hellish never-ending period, I was talking to my mom who said something to the effect of, "well if you do happen to get pregnant..." Then a few weeks ago, after making some comment that I was having a particularly clutzy day, a lady at church said, "are you pregnant? I was always clumsy before I even knew I was pregnant." DH kind of panicked. He's in law school, so I'm the bread-winner as a youth director and church secretary. Monday I had a BFNegative.

Other than the fact that two people have said something about me being preggo, here are other symptoms that have me concerned. No period yet (last one ended 10/6). For two weeks - Sore chest. Ache and "fullness" in lower abdomen - usually my cramps are in my back.

Any thoughts? Do you all think I'm PG or just having a two-week long PMS????

Either way, we'll be fine, we just want to know what's going on!

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the things you're talking about, but I do know that cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and steroids will all lower your sperm count/fertility.
You should be able to look up side effects of the things you each took online, and I would assume infertility would be listed if it was a possibility.
