Does Having UTI Affect IVF Treatment?

My husband gave a seman sample yesterday for ivf treatment. I ha don t 15 eggs. I am currently waiting to hear if they fertilised over night.But my usaf woke up with what seems like a bad urinary tract infection. Now I am worried sick that I think might affect the eggs as they will need a sterile incubation phase before egg transfer. Please can you tell me if my husbands UTI (which could have been there yesterday I suppose?) could affect our ivf?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is better to postpone IVF until the infection subsides. Infection may cause contamination of the sterile environment and the entire process may fail and you might forced to repeat the process. So better to wait until it subsided. As of now ask him to drink plenty of water and star a short course of antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
