Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does taking this medicine effect of chances of getting pregnant? Im on fluoxetine 20mg. Im 31 im am 5ft5 and weigh 16 stone i also have 2 children aged 9 and 11 but my partner is not their dad and we would like to try for another baby as we have 3children between us. Please give me some advice on how to fall pregnant easier as im desperate for another baby.
There is no evidence to suggest that fluoxetine (Prozac), which is an antidepressant medication, causes infertility in humans. If you want to conceive, you can track your menstrual cycle, doing intercourse at or around 14 day of your menstrual cycle will increase your chances to get pregnant.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Fahum Akhter, General & Family Physician
