I would say check with your clinic/GP. I was advised not to take fexofenadine if I was trying to get pregnant but not sure about the male side of things. It might be the GP could suggest other treatment for his hayfever? Good luck. Xx

Best ask your clinic. I know there are very few antihistamines you could use whilst pregnant and that they are generally not advised, but no idea how they affect fertility. My husband suffers from allergies and has really bad hay fever at the moment too. Beconase nose spray helps him a lot. May be a topical antihistamine is better? Worth checking.
