N2 - Asthma is a common chronic disease affecting the lives of reproductive age women and is associated with 8–13% of pregnancies [1]. While maternal asthma has been consistently associated with significant perinatal morbidities and mortality [2, 3], impacts on fertility are conflicting. In light of limited and conflicting evidence, the aim of this study was to examine the impact of asthma and asthma medication use on fecundability and time to pregnancy.
