Hello,
There is no evidence to suggest that fluoxetine (Prozac), which is an antidepressant medication, causes infertility in humans. If you want to conceive, you can track your menstrual cycle, doing intercourse at or around 14 day of your menstrual cycle will increase your chances to get pregnant.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
