Is It Safe To Use Marijuana While Doing IVF Treatment?
Im 29 years old going thru ivf icsi, I have had the eggs removed over a week ago. I suffer from anxiety and depression and am going through a rough time right now. Is it safe to use marijuana to help calm myself. My implantation date isn't for one month from now.

Hi,
Since marijuana tends to remain in the for a few weeks, it is possible that your fetus may be exposed to marijuana after implantation. This can lead to cognitive impairment in the child. Secondly, marijuana itself is well-known to cause anxiety disorders. I would suggest that you find alternate methods to deal with your anxiety and depression. Relaxation exercises would be a better choice.
Best wishes.
