Botox Injections 12-13 Days Prior to Conception?

January 29, 2020
Asked By:itsme4041 in Los Angeles, CA

I am scheduled to have an IUI fertility procedure on either February 12th or 13th. Would there be any issue with receiving a botox injection in my forehead and brow on February 1st? In other words, is Botox safe to use prior to conception if I know when my actual conception date is, and is it likely to have an effect on my child if I do become pregnant?
