I have PCOS and trying to conceive, my ob-gyne prescribed Clomid for me,?

Question

and instructed us about the time of intercourse...?What i'm puzzled about is, She also prescribed LEVITRA for my husband although he does not have erectile dysfunction...I asked her if it is really needed during schedules of intercourse cause I don't think my husband will have problems with his erection if ever, she said yes.

I have read about side effects of the drug, and so i am a little bit reluctant to let my husband take it. Is it really needed?

Please help. Thanks

Answer 1

I'd suggest your husband talk to his urologist about the prescription before he ever uses it.

Answer 2

i would not let him take it, but thats me.  Just take yours and see how it goes.  Maybe see a new Obgyn.

Answer 3

I would really talk to my doctor about it if I were you.  I would ask, specifically, "why do you want my husband to take this?  He does not have ED."  Let her know that you have questions and make sure she answers them.  Doctors are not above the responsibility of communication just because they went to school for half their lives and we didnt.  

In any case, Im wondering if she is prescribing it to assist in sperm quality?  Although I would think she'd be better off prescribing some otc vitamins or something.  But definitely ask her about it!  Im really curious now too.  If you get an answer I beg you to email and let me know what it is!

Good Luck!
