Intro and DH Blood Pressure Medication?

ZooCrewMom · April 2014

Hi Ladies,

I'm a few months short of 35 (DH is 40) and wanted to say hello as I wanted to start frequenting this group. Our family lives in the Chicago suburbs and I am a SAHM to Jack who is 2.5 and Joey who is 16mo. old. We are currently TTC our third child but haven't had any luck yet.

I was wondering if any one else had conceived a child with a SO on an ACE inhibitor? My OB seems to think it shouldn't change anything, but we are coming up on one year off of BC and it is the only thing that is different this go around. TIA!

My husband is on a bunch of meds for a heart condition, bp meds, a cholesterol reducer and an arrhythmia med, not sure if any of it is an ACE inhibitor? He has had the condition long before he knew me so I am not up to date on what meds do what I just know what he takes on a daily basis. But since we have been married I have gotten pregnant 3 times. The first time ended in a miscarriage but luckily I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter and a 4 month old son so it can be done on heart related meds. TTC my son was not as easy as when we had my daughter. I had to completely stop breastfeeding and then it was still a good 6 months after that I finally got pregnant after thinking I may need to go see my RE.

Welcome to the board and good luck TTC.

Thank you ladies! I'm glad to here that Geeps! His actual medication is Lisinopril and it's just so frustrating to feel like something is off, but not be able to pinpoint what it is.

I just looked it up and my Husband is on ramipril that is in the same class as the meds your husband is on. Good Luck! I know how frustrating it is TTC. Just curious how long have you been trying for #3?

My DH has been on Lisinopril for years. We weren't trying to have a baby but I am due in July! I was apparently infertile until my D&C and Hysteroscopy for fibroids so the blood pressure med was certainly not causing him any issues.

I've been off of birth control for 10 months. It's mostly frustrating because I feel like something is different this time and that is the only thing I can pinpoint. We were incredibly blessed the first two times and it only took a few months. I'm going to chat with my OB at the end of May when we return from a trip if nothing changes.

Thank you everyone for the positive stories! I think the stupid Facebook groups I'm on (off shoots of birth month boards) are really messing with me. All of the 22yo that keep "accidentally" getting pregnant are messing with my brain.
