Trouble TTC

Introduction with a question

Hi guys, I just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully get some advice. My name is Kimmie and I have 2 boys that are 22 months and 3 & a half. My husband and I are have been not so actively TTC but are if that makes sense. My husband recently has been put on zoloft because he has crohns disease and has major anxiety from the disease so the doctor felt it was best to put him on there but the problem is, he can't ejaculate now ever since being on zoloft. Does anyone have experience with this? Was their husband's able to overcome this? Thank you for your time. :-)

    This.  And SSRIs are known to have sexual side effects.  He should talk to his doctor to see about switching to another med....

    I'm sorry, the last time I was on any of these boards, girls were snarky if you didn't have an intro so I was hoping not to deal with that. Where would I go if we're having trouble TTC for less than a year? Any information would be helpful. Thanks

  • DH is on zoloft. He has some issues with erections, but his Testostorone is crazy low. He has no problem ejaculating.  He'l probably have to talk to his Dr.

    all of the above. 

    My husband is on lexapro for his anxiety/depression, which also can cause sexual side effects.  Luckily he hasn't had any issues, but his doctor knows we are TTC and said to call if he has any issues.

    PAIF/SAIF Welcome!

  • Hello!  I'm a licensed therapist, and very often sexual side effects are the #1 complaint for men on SSRIs such as Zoloft.  Have your husband speak with his doctor about Welbutrin, also a well known anti-depressant known for having less sexual side effects.  GOOD LUCK! :-)

    Me:33, Hubby:34 TTC since 2008 Feb08: emergency ruptured Ectopic(surgically removed right tube and ovary) Oct12: Began seeing a Fertility Doctor Dx:Anovulation, Provera to force period, clomid 50mg, Day 12 ultrasound showed no follicles/no ovulation = cancelled IUI. Dec12: Day 3 Antral Follicle Count; ONE, FSH also jumped from 8.4 to 24 (told that cyst on ovary caused the false low FSH from month prior), increased clomid dosage to 150mg. Given prognosis of less than 5% chance of pregnancy. December 2012: One follicle did mature, proceeded with IUI, = BFN Also officially dx DOR January 2013: FSH dropped to 14.6, I still want to keep hope alive, RE office says this does not change prognosis. IUI= BFN Last cycle on Clomid as it has thinned my lining.
