Does Asthma Affect Pregnancy?
My 31 year old, 5'6", and 155lb boyfriend and I are trying to get pregnant but he has asthma and has been on steriods for many years as well as using an inhaler since he was a kid. Will we be able to concieve? My health is great but we have been unable to concieve.

Hello
After a careful studies of betamethasone, dexamethasone, deflazacort, prednisolone , methylprednisolone hydrocortisone , triamcilone i.e. all steroids I don't find any side effect which causes any interference in getting pregnancy .
As your boy friend is taking steroid , this don't interfere in getting pregnancy or any untoward effect over forthcoming baby.
Since you are not getting pregnancy , so consult an INFERTILITY specialist and get his opinion.
Hope this will help you.
