Will Propecia Taken By Husband Cause Any Problem If Trying To Get Pregnant?
Hey how are you. I have been taking Propecia for hair loss for 10 years. I recently have been trying to start a family and got off of it for the past 2 months. I think i am starting to thin out a little bit on top and would like to maintain what I have. There are contradicting reports on taking propecia and starting a family. I know all about the fact that my wife cannot touch it physically but i was wondering if by taking it myself would it cause a problem with trying to get pregnant due to low sperm count or even cause physical problems with the fetus. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

You can use topical minoxidil now. Avoid oral medications.
Ensure your other tests are normal. Topical preparations are safe to be taken.
