Hubbie on Prozac... ttc #2

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
We have have been ttc #2 since January, got pregnant in March and miscarried in May. My husband since then has been mean, irritable and suffering anxiety attacks since then. He was put on Prozac by his GP a week ago and I have noticed a SIGNIFCANT change in his behavior already. However, I have researched Prozac and it decreases sperm count, motility, and quality. He is also a smoker, 2 strikes against us. I am loving his new attitude and he states that he feels a lot better. I guess I am rambling but basically I want to know if anyone has conceived while their SO was on Prozac or similar medication and how long it took. I am so worried that it is going to either not happen, take a while, or get pregnant with crappy sperm and miscarry again. I don't think I could convince him to go off it right now (even though its only been a week, he states he doesn't like snapping at me when its not my fault) and I don't think its recommended to stop cold turkey anyway.

When we were TTC#1 my husband was a smoker and has a heart condition, they told us that he might have sperm issues(when he was little he completely crushed on sperm maker). We had a really hard time TTC, so we both got checked and his motilaty and everything was better than average it was just me. If he is emotionally feeling better that actually might help his little swimmers because stress and anger can put a big strain the swimmers also. Maybe get him checked while on the medication because the happier both of you are the more likely you are to get preggo.
