My husband just started taking antidepressants.. will it affect his fertility?

His doctors said it won’t affect his fertility in the future... what about now? I’m heartbroken because we are going to start TTC but I want him to get better. We can FINALLY start trying. Idk why I’m sitting here crying, I tried for 3 years with my ex and had 3 miscarriages and now that I’M healthy and can finally carry a pregnancy to full term I probably won’t even get pregnant. I’ve ready the studies.. it cuts sperm count in half and messes the shape of the sperm up. I feel terrible because this could help him.

It’s normal to be upset about it because now that you’re ready something else is in the way but don’t let it bother you too much or show him it bothers you. Let him get better. He might not need them forever and in the meantime just have fun and enjoy each other! This will help him, you and your future family.

It shouldn't, but with him working on his mental health and just now getting on meds it's probably best to take a small break from ttc so you guys can put focus on that
