I'm about to start IVF (3 month egg collection) and wondered if botox would be a problem. Does it get into the blood stream and could it potentially damage the eggs? Egg transfer isn't due until May.

Answer: Botox during IVF Thanks for the question. It is generally recommended that women who are pregnant refrain from continuing their Botox treatments. There are no known side effects, and you may continue with Botox during IVF.

Answer: Does Botox affect egg quality in IVF There are many people who receive Botox and go through IVF. It's not recommended to have Botox once you are pregnant (though there is no research done to say anything happens to the developing fetus we just don't do elective procedures on pregnant women). But you can actually see on this site that many people become pregnant right after receiving a Botox treatment - intentionally or otherwise - so the eggs remain the same.
