In May, I underwent curettage after a retained miscarriage of my first pregnancy (8 tc) and the suspicion of a partial mole (due to the histopathological results, this disease was not clearly defined because I delayed the termination of the pregnancy and the "material" was transferred). Beta HCG dropped to zero for 2 months. I was banned from getting pregnant until October. My husband and I really want to be able to try for a child, but my husband developed chronic Lyme disease in the meantime, and for this reason he underwent monthly treatment with intravenous Biotraxone and Metronidazole in July. I know antibiotics affect semen. How long do we have to wait after the end of antibiotic therapy? If we start trying in October (2 months after the end of antibiotics), can we harm the baby if we succeed? Could Lyme disease possibly affect fertilization and defects in a child?
I advise you to start your efforts three months after the end of treatment. It takes so long to produce new sperm that will not be affected by treatment. Lyme disease in a husband has no effect on the defects in a child
