Should I get the COVID vaccine before doing IUI or IVF? (Ask the Egg Whisperer)

May 30, 2021

I love getting your questions for Ask The Egg Whisperer. In this episode, Shereen from the Middle East sent in a great question. Here's what she want's to know, "What is your advice for women over 40 who are undergoing hormone induction and probably will do IUI/IVF vs COVID vaccine? 
Is it advisable to get the vaccine if a woman has future plans to have kids? Thanks, and God bless."

My recommendation is get the vaccine. I want all my patients to be fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means is that they have had their second shot. If they're doing the two shot Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, you will want to have that second shot two weeks before their embryo transfer, and it's the same thing with doing an IUI. That's what I recommend. 

Tune in to hear my answer, and 9 other questions from listeners and followers.
