Dear Rainy,

All the best for TTC. I am not sure about this medicine, but it is very vital that we are stress free 100% while TTC. So ensure you and your DH do some meditation or morning walk that will help you to get the BP down. Also please check if you can TTC while he is on medicines. I feel initimate IC will actually help bring his stress levels down. All the best dear once again. Nothing to worry, you are just 23 you have ample time. Take all medical opinion and decide.

Hi Rainy,
Welcome here...

I too don't have much idea on those medication & the effect of BP in male fertility. Try all cautious steps to help him in high BP.

Stay cool. You are very young. Don't worry much & increase your stress. Stay positive.

Take care.
Baby dust to you.

Rainy,

Medication for BP should not ideally affect TTC. Even my dh had high BP earlier , so I had asked my doctor the same question. She asked me not to worry about that and carry on. I made some modifications in the diet , reduced salt wherever possible , added more garlic in the food. High BP can be contolled naturally also very well - my friend suggested this - chop garlic finely and soak it in thin buttermilk overnight and give it to him in the morning. It has tremendous benefits. I saw it myself in my husband.

Please do not worry about this and cause stress. Relax and spend quality time and when you are with him , make sure he is relaxed. All the best.
