Hello all! My first post on the TTC board, so a big wave to you all.
DH and I have recently decided that we want to start TTC in a few months and we've been starting to think about preparing ourselves in various ways. We've both been on citalopram for a while (he for anxiety, me for depression) and I'm currently in the process of weaning myself off as my GP advised that it wasn't the best anti-depressant to be on whilst TTC/pregnant.
However, it hadn't really occurred to me that DH's medication might be a factor until I took an idlea Google last night and discovered that there seemed to be some connection between (temporary) male infertility and SSRIs such as citalopram. However, the evidence for this is based on only a few case studies. I know it isn't the most scientific approach, but I came here in search of a bit of anecodatal evidence! Does anyone on the board here have experience of TTC whilst the gentleman of the couple was on anti-depressants?
