CDI itself does not cause infertility but some of the diseases that cause CDI occasionally do so. If you truly have CDI (and not dipsogenic DI) it is perfectly safe to take dDAVP before and during pregnancy. It does not affect fertility or the unborn fetus, provided you remember to drink only when you are thirsty. Your serum sodium level will normally be lower (by 5 mEq/l) during pregnancy. ****** Top of Page ****** Question # 0576 EWv5n4 Keywords: menstruation, weight gain Before having DI my menstrual period was normal.
