Botox and Conception, is it Okay?

March 29, 2013
Asked By:Lucylulu101

Hello, yesterday, I had Botox for the 1st time for hyperhidrosis - ahead of my wedding in about 6 weeks time. I stupidly didn't take into account that my soon-to-be husband and I want to start trying for a baby ASAP after the wedding. Now I am worried we should hold off trying to conceive because of my botox treatment. But i am nearly 35 and i feel we should get on with it. Can anyone advise please? Lucy
