Does Diverticulitis Treatment Affect The Quality Of The Sperm?

Hi, First off I would like to thank you for your time. Now, I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and have been on antibiotics for around 8 days now. Three in the hospital through and IV. My wife is also showing symptoms of pregnancy. Would my having diverticulitis, for the two months prior to leading up to conception, harm my sperm in its development and maturation stages and affect the healthiness of the baby?
