High Blood pressure and conceiving
Just wandering if anyone can help me. I was diagnosed last December with very high cholesterol and have been on tablets ever since. I now would like to start trying for a baby but not sure if the tablets with affect my fertility and what effect they will have should I fall pregnant.
Sorry I put the wrong heading up. I actually have high cholesterol NOT high blood pressure!!
Well your post talks about high blood pressure and high cholesterol, do you have both?
I have high blood pressure which was very out of control when i got pregnant and I was put on labetalol for the high blood pressure when I was only 4-6 weeks pregnant, I am now almost 37 weeks pregnant and due any day now. Dr said that the medication should not hurt the baby and that I will keep taking it after the baby and be ok to get pregnant again while on it.
