Dear Thobs
The presence of candida is a common occurence and can event present during pregnancy. It is not a recognised cause of infertility per se.
However, if the vaginal PH is significantly altered by an excessive thrush infection, this may result in sperm penetration problems and may be toxic to the sperm. However, I should stress that this is a fairly rare occurence.
