Does Epilepsy Have Any Effect On Sperm Quality?
my husband had 2 epileptic fits 6 weeks after we had our first child. He is now on a low dose drug to control it & we ve been trying to conceive again (2years later) and we ve had a miscarriage and cant seen to get pregnant again. Has this affected his sperm? We got pregnant within 2 months the first time.

Hi
There are multiple causes for failure to conceive. The problems may be with both of you.
I would advice semen analysis for your husband and sex hormone profile(blood test). It is unlikey that antiepileptic medication affect the sperm count.
If the semen analysis is normal then you might want yourself to be checked also.
