Does Fluoxetine Intake Cause Infertility Problems?
Trying to conceive , partner has been taking fluoxetine for 16 months now and still no luck .could this be because he is on fluoxetine 20mg? Although I fell pregnant on his 5th month of taking but had a missed miscarriage , found out on my 12th week scan that the feutous died at 8 weeks 4 days! Could this also be a reason why I may have miscarried due to sperm DNA fragmentation ? I ve read up a little but wondered how many couples have successful pregnancies when make taking fluoxetine? Any advice? Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
Fluxetine cause reduced sexual drive, erection dysfunction and ejaculation problem. These are less common side effects occuring in 1 in 100 people taking it .
It doesnt have effect on dna . it is likely to be cause of infertility but not for miscarriage .
Hope I have been helpful .
