Can Lipitor Cause Low Sperm Count?

Can lipitor harm sperm rate? We where able to get pregnant befor these meds that did result in a miscarriage but nothing in a year? Also if you get pregnant and miscarry can this be either parents to blame or just the mother as the egg was fertilized? Thx

Hi welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question.
Lipitor is cholesterol lowering agent, it does not harm sperm count.
If you had pregnancy before and had miscarriage then one investigation I would suggest is histosalpingography HSG to rule out tubal blockage. As blockage is common after miscarriage.
For miscarriage rather then to blame anyone, is better to find the reason.
At first miscarriage no need to worry but if it happens 2/3 time then one has to rule out
Chromosomal abnormalities,
Torch inf ( toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes).
Hope i answers your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
