Hi,
It is less likely to reduce the chances of getting pregnancy. Dulcolax (bisacodyl) is a laxative that acts by stimulating bowel movements and hence used to treat constipation.
It is generally not recommended if you are pregnant, especially in the first 3 months however it not known to cause any harmful effects if trying to get pregnant.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
