How does phenytoin(for epilepsy)afects?

My husband is epileptic and he takes phenytoin.Because of that it's very rare that we have sex (it's a side effect.men loose desire)Now i want to try to conceive.Can i conceive when we have sex and he doesn't have any orgasm?

Answers:
There is a difference between orgasm and ejaculating. It is a myth that everytime a man has sex he orgasms. He should however ejaculate with sex (although it is possible that he doesnt). Normally (if sperm count is normal) he should ejaculate 1 to 2 tsps. in order to have enough sperm to impregnate you. But it only takes 1 sperm to do the job so it's possible for it to be released during pre-ejaculate. He should definitely talk to his doctor and have his sperm tested. Maybe the doctor could prescribe something to increase his sex drive. I wish you all the luck in the world. Having a child is a blessing from God and only he knows when the time is right.

If he doesn't ejaculate it will be virtually impossible however some men leak semen whils erect and excited and this could be enough to do the trick
**** OFF
He should talk to his doctor about trying a different med. There are many new ones that may not have this side effect.

A small amount of sperm is ejaculated during sex, prior to and in absence of orgasm. So yes, you can still conceive, assuming his sperm count is high enough.
my mum has epilepsy and she takes phenytoin, she's had 2 children but it did take them a year each time to conceive, so stick at it :-)
