Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello: Some medications, such as hormones, certain antibiotics, antiemetics, anticancer drugs, and sleeping pills, can have a certain degree of impact on reproductive cells. An egg takes about 14 days to develop from an initial oocyte to a mature egg, during which time it is most susceptible to the effects of medication. Generally, it is considered relatively safe for a woman to conceive 20 days after stopping medication.
