A new study suggests there’s no connection between the COVID-19 vaccine and reduced chances of conceiving.

The news: A new study — published Thursday in the American Journal of Epidemiology — found that couples had lower chances of conception if the male partner got infected by the coronavirus within 60 days.

Details: The study included more than 2,000 couples.

Female study participants filled out a questionnaire about their income and education levels, lifestyle, medical history and more.
The participants were also asked “whether or not they were vaccinated against COVID-19 and whether they or their partners had ever tested positive for SARS-CoV-2,” according to the National Institute of Health.

Quote: “These findings indicate that male SARS-CoV-2 infection may be associated with a short-term decline in fertility and that COVID-19 vaccination does not impair fertility in either partner,” the researchers wrote in the study, per CNN.

“This adds to the evidence from animal studies, studies of humans undergoing fertility treatment, and the COVID-19 vaccine trials, none of which found an association between COVID-19 vaccination and lower fertility,” the researchers wrote.
“Similarly, several studies have documented no appreciable association between COVID-19 vaccination and miscarriage risk.”

Why it matters: Questions about the COVID-19 vaccine’s impact on fertility and conception have existed since the vaccine was announced. This recent study suggests there is no link between fertility issues and the vaccine.
