Can Prolonged Use Of Diazepam Cause Any Effect On Sperm Count?

Hi there. Yes please. I am very worried. My wife and i are trying to get pregnant with our second child. I Have had normal sperm count before and were successful our first go around with our first born Since we are trying for our second, My question is about sperm health (quality and quantity). Spefically effects from prolonged usage of diazpam and moderate to occasional use of soma and opiet based pain killers( specifically Percocet) for anxiety, back spasms and pain (herniated disks ). With these drugs currently in my system, can my sperm be compromised and pose a risk to conceive and ultimately to the baby with regards to development and health?? At this point I am petrified enough to wait and detox but time is of the essence, so ideally not having to detox would be preferred, however not at the risk of health issues for out future child. Please help.....
