I'm trying to get pregnant and was wondering if anyone knows whether or not Lamictal can reduce fertility?

I have not heard anything about that. I have heard that Depakote is linked to PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which can cause infertility. Here's some info from this site: Epilepsy & Fertility (scroll down to bottom)

I have been on Lamictal for 10 years, 500mg/day. I am 8weeks pregnant, and my husband and I conceived the first month of trying! Hope that helps!
