Topamax and fertility?

I'm on Topamax for migranes and I hadn't thought about it at the time that it was prescibed, but has this affected anyone's fertility in a good or bad way?

"No adverse effects on male or female fertility were observed in rats at doses up to 100 mg/kg."

However, it may not be good for the baby to get pregnant while taking Topamax: "Topamax should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus." (same source) No studies have been done on pregnant mothers, but in animal studies, the drug caused harm.

If you hope to become pregnant, talk this over with the doctor who prescribed the Topamax to you. Perhaps you could go on a safer medication, or go on a lower dose of your current medication while you're trying to conceive.

Good luck.
