HI
My husband and I are getting ready to start in vitro fertilization treatment in about one and a half to two months. i recently had botox injections in my forehead. Will this affect the fertility drugs i will be on or my possible pregnancy
Thanks
I am not so sure if Botox is safe. There are no adequate studies about botox and pregnancy you know. There are animal studies but it can't always be used in humans.
You need to report this to your fertility clinic and your doctor.
If you do get pregnant while taking the drug, you are risking miscarriage, fetal malformations, baby's low weight, etc
These side effects were reported from animal studies. Like I said, you should report this to your fertility doctor.
