Does Crestor Cause Difficulties In Conceiving?

Does taking crestor affect the chances of my wife getting pregnant. I have been on the drug for some years (4yrs) and have been trying but my wife could not get pregnant. Is it due to crestor? Can I stop it for some time until she gets pregnant to see if the cause is from crestor?

Hi I think crestor can't affect your fertility chances. Get a semen analysis done to see if there is any problem with you or not. If semen analysis is normal and you don't have any sexual problems, you can try for a pregnancy naturally. Also get your wife evaluated. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries. Hope it helps.
