I read that the antidepressants my husband is on could make him infertile

Hi ladies.
My husband is on Cipralex and Welbutrin for depression, and wont be coming off it any time soon.
I read that antidepressants can reduce the sperm count until you are infertile.
We have a 20 month old daughter who was conceived before my husband started taking antidepressants, so we are pretty sure that the antidepressants are the problem.
Does anybody know anything or have any experience with husbands on antidepressants while TTC?
And advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have the answer but I just wanted to say I can empathise. We are TTC #1 but the anti-depressants my OH is on, may be causing the issue apparently.

How long have you been trying to TTC for since he's been on the anti depressants?

That can happen but most of the time the problem ends up being a lack of sex drive (men and women) and impotence in men.
