Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your health issue and side effects of drug.

As per your query your husband is taking divas(divalproex) medication for migraine prophylaxis. As migraine prophylaxis is given for 2-4 months you does not need to worry for any side effects.

On clinical trials the said medicine has been proven to cause infertility if it is taken for more then 10 years. Males are relatively less vulnerable as 33% and females are more.

So you can continue with the medication and it will not cause any damage for the 6 months of treatment.

Hope my answer will be helpful to you. Write us further if you feel any further assistance required.

Regards
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray.
