Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
IF your periods are back to normal, yes, generally ovulation too will be back to normal.
So you can definitely get pregnant.
The ability to form good quality eggs declines after the age of 35.
You should get your AMH levels tested to check how well your ovaries are still functioning.
ALso, please go for ovulation tracking with follicular sonography during your cycle to know if you are ovulating properly.
If ovulation is not a problem, then you will not have a problem in conception.
How long have you been trying to conceive before taking the medication ?
Also, after stopping risperidol, your husband should wait for 4 weeks at the most before he can start ejaculating into you.
HOpe this answers your queries.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
