The most important step would be consulting with your psychiatrist and your fertility specialist. They would provide with personalised plan based on severity of ocd.
Possible options are
If fertility is issue and icd is not very severe changing medication that would have less sideffects will be chosen or your psychiatrist may stop the medication for short period of time weighing the risk of relapse
If OCD is severe staying on current dose would be better
Paternal ocd medication have realatively low risk if birth defects
