Wife wants to start trying for our second kid in the fall. I recently started fin. I read different things regarding fin and conception. Should I come off to be safe?

Yes, to be safe, you absolutely should.

Yes, kelkel posted a study that indicates no problems.

But, always follow the money on studies.

And, one study does not a complete story tell.

Maybe it's fine, maybe it's not, but if you want to be safe, drop it before conception. You don't want to wonder if your son's late puberty or passive demeanor is because you wanted to keep your hair.
