i have been using codeine on and off
constantly for the past 18 months, this
has been for the cervix pain but mostly
for migraines and dental pain. the most i
have taken in a day would be 200mg and the
least is 50mg. i am wondering if this
would be having an effect on me not being
able to fall pregnant because my fertility
has been lowered?
thanks in advance for reply
There is no evidence (experimental or
clinical) that codeine has a negative
impact on the fetus or on a woman's
ability to become pregnant. In your case,
sterility might be caused by endometritis
(a pre-existing condition). If there is an
infection in the uterus, it must be
treated! Your gynecologist can help
you!
