using viagra when trying to conceive

[lilblt]

Hi,

What are your thoughts on using Viagra when trying to conceive? My husband was told that he had low testosterone and was given Viagra to help. I've looked online and found conflicting reports on whether Viagra affects sperm quality. Some reports say that it affects sperm motility; other reports say that it has no effect on fertility. Not quite sure what to believe. Thank you!

Most fertility specialists do not feel that it does not affect sperm quality and I have seenc some studies to support that view.

Good luck.
