Your Daily Products and Infertility
. . . These VOC's will affect your eggs and embryos in our labs. As such, we ask that you AND your partner, who will be with you in the transfer room, to avoid these products on the day of your embryo transfer."
So if those products will have an affect on the embryos and eggs in the embryologist lab, then imagine the affect they would have on your eggs, hormones, and fertility every single day.
The daily products that you use in your home have a long lasting impact on your overall health, including your fertility.

IVF Cycle Part Five: Frozen Embryo Transfer
On August 8th, 2019, we had our frozen embryo transfer. On August 8th, I became pregnant. And although we didn't know if this baby would implant and grow to be carried full term, we knew that, if even for a short time, I was pregnant. We didn't tell anyone that we were having transfer. We didn't tell our family or friends, not even our parents. Alex and I were the only ones that knew and it was so nice to have it as our little secret.- 1 in 8
