Does Allopurinol Posses Impact On Fertility?
My husband has been taking Allopurinol for Gout since May 2012. We are trying to get pregnant and I read that this medication can affect his sperm count. Is that true? I got pregnant with our first 3 children on the 1st month of trying. We have been trying for 3 months now with no success.
