TTC & Methotrexate

May 15, 2008

Hello, my husband and I have been trying for baby number 2 for over 2 years now. We concieved last time after 3.5 years on clomid.

Our problem now seems to be that he has been prescribed methotrexate for a muscular problem he has, he has been on this since August last year. His doctor seems to think this is not a problem to our ttc mission, but all the information I have read seems to differ from this?

Any advice would be greatly apprieciated.

Yes, Methotrexate may adversly affect sperm motility and count...to make sure...a Semen Analysis may be warrated and if this is the case, talking about a different med for him may be warrated...

*along with sperm morphology may be distorted...make sure the SA is done with Krugers Strict Criteria...
