Can I still get pregnant if my husband takes Viagra?

DEAR DEIDRE: THIS might be a silly question but can I still get pregnant if my husband has to use Viagra to get an erection?

The internet is telling me all sorts of things and I just want to know if we are making things more difficult for ourselves while we are trying to conceive.

I’m 29 and my partner is 38. We’ve been together for five years and trying for a baby for around eight months.

After six months of no success, we both had some tests done and thankfully everything seemed fine. So we carried on trying.

But now my husband has started to have some trouble getting an erection.

I think it’s the pressure of it all. So he’s started taking Viagra.

But now I’m worried this might stop us conceiving.
