OH yea... and the ADHD gene is passed down through the males. So watch out and look for the signs of ADHD in your little one. I do have ADD, but my ex had ADHD when he and I produced and our son got severe ADHD. I love him to DEATH my little guy, but it's a struggle. He's definatly able to get you pregnant, just remember to talk with your OB if your wanting to. She maybe able to tell you of some ways that can increase your risks of getting pregnant! Good Luck!

Brae a
ADHD does not affect a person's ability to have children.
It is a neurological disorder that affects the processes of certain chemicals in the brain.
Just be aware that ADHD is believed to be a genetic condition that is passed down through families.
Getting pregnant can take some time, so if you have problems after several months (6+), then you might want to speak with your OB/GYN.
Good luck!

Yes, they can produce children.ADHD doesn't effect sperm that I know of. Your boyfriend could have other factors , but since you only tried once there's no saying he can't have children and or has a problem. I'd wait and see, making a baby happens at it's own pace. If you suspect a problem you can always go talk with a Dr. and see what's up.

Yes. ADHD has nothing whatsoever to do with his reproductive abilities. It can take up to a year for the average couple to get pregnant, sometimes longer. So don't worry about it. If you have been trying for longer than a year then go see your doctor. :-)

Of course! There's tons of people with ADHD, so it'd be a big problem if people with it couldn't have kids. ADHD has nothing to do with procreation. You're fine!

ADHD has nothing to do with the ability to reproduce unless a medication that he takes does.

Everyone has a form of ADHD. It looks like he may have a low sperm count. Have him tested.
Good luck
