I'm not too sure about the infertility, I do know however once you do become pregnant you do want to talk to yur doctor- you may have to decrease, or stop certain meds all together, and if your planning on breast feeding, it may be a no go..The meds could effect the baby, talk to your doctor and tell him/her that you are planning on having a baby, he/she will hopefully know what's best to recommend.
