Avatar n tn Does it mean I will never be able to father a child? He also said I urgently needed a Varicocelectomy and later on an Hemorrhoidectomy. 1 Could there be any relationship between the two health problems. 2. Could the Varicocelectomy really have an effect on my sperm count that was very low 400 000 as opposed to atleas 20miliion required?. Is the sergery a really neccessary option for me to father a child?
Avatar n tn I know of one married man, in his early sixties now, that was born with a single testicle, and he has had no problem living, working, going to Viet Nam in the Army, fathering a child, and so on. If there would be any problem, it would be psychological in nature. A good pediatrician will be helpful here and answer all doubts.
Avatar f tn Hi, my 18 year old son has just found out his girlfriend is pregnant, he had been on methotrexate for the last 13 years and we have always been warned about the dangers of fathering a child, I have read on this site a lot of people saying the child has been ok but they seem only to have been taking this med for a few months, does anyone have any advice for someone who has been taking this drug weekly since they were 5 years old and how it will affect an unborn child as he is at odds of whether t
Avatar n tn It is advised that if one wants to father a child while on Lyrica, to discuss this with your physician. Find out what may be involved first. It may be that he would need to discontinue the medication until you become pregnant. I can understand your concern and would certainly want to know the specifics about the effects it could have on the fetus. You may want to ask this question in the pregnancy forum as well.
Avatar m tn I have a one year old boy and was not planning for a baby for another one to one and a half year. I wanted to ask if i should immediately plan for another child in any case. If my serem result are fine , is there still a chance of having bad serem count in coming times due to the current mild varicocile. And if serem tests are not fine , can i hold the varicocelectomy till a year so i get it near to when i plan a baby.
Avatar f tn they sent me for a ultrasound and I had a missed miscarriage and had to have a dnc. I have had another child since and I was taken off lyrica. I has no problems with my 3rd pregnancy. I just wanted to google lyrica and miscarriage to see. My heart stopped when I seen your post. It might have been a hundred other things that caused it but I feel in my heart that me taking lyrica cause me to lose my child.. I was really drowsy and on a high dose when it happened.
Avatar f tn But i was told in order for me to get pregnant i would have supposed to try between the 15 and 20th . And anytime after would be a fail . So now im confused.
Avatar f tn Fathering your child is not your job. Mothering is. I understand that sometimes a mom has to play the role of both mother and father and it's hard. When my mom did my dad had to stop being just a dad and take on all the duties that my mom did. He did a great job. But if you have the opportunity and the right guy who will love your child the way he loves you than why not let him farther your child? It gets tricky and it's always easier when you have someone by your side.
Avatar n tn As for the effect of diabetes on male fertility, there is a good website that I will list here: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/69779.php It does mention that diabetes can lower a male's fertility... it really depends on how good your control was all those years. As for the drugs you mention, prednisone in particular has a side effect of lowering a male's sperm count: http://www.spermconfirm.
Avatar f tn I am in the exact same situation lol 2 boys and three bros and I had my iud removed in march and my due date is feb 11 I REALLY want a girl but I will be fine if it's a boy
Avatar m tn One of them raised concern to me and that is I should take caution if I plan to father a child. Reading further, some sites particularly said it has a potential to affect male fertility and give possible birth defects. This is a big concern to me and I am having seconds about taking this medicine because I do plan to father a child in a year or two. I guess I just like to know if I should be concerned about this? Note: Here's the original topic I posted regarding my leg pain: http://www.
Avatar f tn t need him even if he is fathering your child! You have a baby who will love you no matter what. Keep your head up momma things will work out for the best!
Avatar f tn I saw that if a man fathers a child while taking Lyrica, the baby may have birth defects. My daughter's fiance' was just put on Lyrica and I read this. They will be getting married soon and will want to start a family within the next year. How conclusive and accurate is this statement? HELP!!!!
Avatar n tn from what I know about those type of Meds they take a while to build up in the body, so dont give up, but keep an eye out because I had a build up in my chest it scared me , like I had a lump in my breast, and im a Male this cant be happen to me , so I slowly took myself off of them ( doc told me it was build up ). what really helped me was water relaxing in the tub and having someone rub my legs, plus I got a foot massager, that helped out a lot. Hope things get better.
Avatar f tn I am nearly 40 years old my DH is 42 years old, the doctors have told him his chances of fathering a child is only 5% because of having a benign tumour which was treated 15 years ago with strong drugs and one of his tubes which carries the sperm is damaged. I have a hypothyroidism which is under control. I am desperate for a child from him so much it is my dream. I am going to start a course of clomid soon and wanted to know would that help with my chances.
Avatar m tn The Lyrica prevented those withdrawals. Lyrica is a miracle drug for me. It helps both my Fibromyalgia and anxiety. Lyrica even enhances my mood and clears my mind. I am up to 300 mg 2x a day. I strongly suggest it for anxiety. I am pleasantly surprised to hear it has been approved for anxiety in another country bc that usually means the United States will do the same eventually. I myself also suffer from addiction so be careful.
Avatar n tn i have been on alot of different meds and only a few didnt give me side affects! i was taking lyrica and cipralex, and also had been on fluoxetine, these are only 1s that agreed with me, i have an eptopic heart beat so alot of meds give me very fast heart palpatations.
1548028 tn?1324612446 I don't really know anything about accupuncture, other than I've heard for some it has worked for various things and others not so much. I don't think it would hurt to try at all. The more things we do to try to help ourselves the better! I am really glad that you have a medical team that is taking such an active role in treating your son! That's great news! Some people search for years to find such help. Are they giving him the Lyrica for his mood, pain, both?
Avatar f tn My partner actually had really low sperm morphology and his chances of fathering a child were very slim. We were about to start IVF when the miracle happened of us conceiving on our own. We both took prenatal vitamins, he took menevit, and not sure if this helped but it worked and we had sex right on ovulation and i kept my legs up in the air. I thought it was ridiculous, but it worked!!
712802 tn?1274645485 Hi, I take lyrica 225mg 2 x a day. I have been and still am where you are. I have had a few bad days where I was looking at that option. I was able to get help from here which was great. I have not talked to any of my Dr's about this due to problems I already have at work and did not want anything like this to help my work mess with me any more than they already are. I am on alot of different drugs so I can not say that it was the lyrica.
18717293 tn?1467235215 I am 13 wks pregnant with my fourth child. I was told to stop taking my Lyrica during the pregnancy. I am suffering from some pretty severe withdrawl and very concerned about the baby. In need of some help!!!
Avatar m tn t feel too tired. My doctor feels lyrica suits me and I may be on it for a while longer. Does it help with your pain?

483733 tn?1326798446 I am taking 300 mg of Lyrica a day. I am having heavy swelling in my hands, feet and ankles and doctor put me on Lasix. It is helping a bit but still uncomfortable and pain. I've put a lot of weight on and am also having bad memory problems (can't find my words) and blurry vision. Is there anything that can be done that doesn't require me to get off of Lyrica? it really helps my pain. If I have to get off of it what is the best way to do so?
