I took accutane almost 14 years ago as a teenager. I am now a 32 year old woman who has just been diagnosed with infertility that they believe is linked to autoimmune issues. I truly believe that accutane is the cause of this; from the research that I have done it seems that accutane has been linked to other thyroid-related diseases, but that they have not yet been able to prove a link between accutane and infertility. There are, however, actually more people like me out there than I originally thought. Being diagnosed with ovarian dysfunction has been a horrific, horrific blow. And while there was plenty of information about accutane and birth defects, no one ever mentioned a possibility of future infertility. I was a teenager! This is a tragedy and I believe something should be done about it. If you too have been affected diagnosed with infertility and have taken accutane, please email me. There are plenty of suits against accutance. If there are enough of us, we can come together to do the medical research and get the help we now need.

Wow after reading all these messages. I must share I was in high school when I was prescribed accutane... I'm 34 yrs old now, my wife and I have tried for almost 5 yrs to have a child. I was just diagnosed with a low count... I'm a healthy male and can't figure out why. I just realized that this could of been the reason. If anyone is interested in looking into legal matters please keep me posted.

I am 33 years old and my fiancé is 35. He took Accutane when he was in junior high through high school. I just got pregnant for the first time and miscarried at 8.5 weeks. I have never taken the drug and know that miscarriages happen. My fiancé's brother, who also took Accutane for the same amount of time, has seemingly also had fertility issues. 3 first trimester miscarriages and 1 still birth.
My fiancé and I plan to try to conceive again but are worried that this drug could have had an effect on their fertility. There's got to be a lawyer that wants to jump on this train.

I took Accutane twice at age 15 and once at age 25... I am now 36 and my husband and I have tried for 8 years to get pregnant! My husband had great sperm and they think my eggs address not good quality! I swear this is an Accutane issue! No one side in my family has ever had trouble getting pregnant! Ugh!

It is never too late to quit! It is not worth the risks.

The spine, dryness, and pancreas are definite adverse effects of accutane. :-(

I took Accutane 3 times in my teens and I was diagnosed with Low Ovarian Reserve or Premature Ovarian Failure. Been trying for almost 7 years. I have a very very strong feeling that Accutane has something to do with my infertility. Shame on the makers of this product.
