Be careful in the sack, man!!!
I was on Depakote for many years which (I am certain) led to my diagnoses with PCOS. However, 3 years after getting off Depakote, switching to Lamictal, taking Metformin (used to help with infertility), AND losing 130 lbs, we got pregnant with our miracle baby Ella.
My Psych Nurse is stunned by how many women of childbearing age are prescribed Depakote. Personally, I would ask your Pdoc why you are on it with other options (unless the other options don't work?). Hope this made sense!!
