How long for meds to clear from sperm production

[JessyD]

My husband has been on medication for muscular problems for the last few months.  (He has also periodically taken prescribed sleeping tablets.)  We are planning to try for a baby and his doctor advised him to come off all medication before we start as they have an effect on the sperm motility.  He has been tapering off his pills and should be completely off them in the next 4-5 days.  I'm coming to the end of my current cycle so should be fertile in the next 13-17 days.  Our doctor says this should be fine for us to start trying but I have read that the male reproductive cycle is 74 days long.  Does this mean that ideally we should wait at 2 or 3 more cycles for his sperm to be back to normal function?

Hi,
  Yes,  I feel, that is point worth clarifying from your doctor. However, my guts feeling is that, since the medications are only affecting the motility and not the structure of the sperms, it should be alright to start immediately. A slow motility may only affect the percentage chances of successful fertilization, but if a structural damage is implied, it could affect the embryo itself. So, while you need to get confirmation from your doctor, it appears, you need not have to wait for three more months.

As an adjunct holistic treatment, you may consider doing Male deer exercise and female deer exercise. You may google the phrase for both the exercises.It will have a synergistic effect on fertility.You may also search for sexual reflexology.
