Strep B

[preparing]

For my first FET, my culture showed that I had strep B. I took antibiotics which cleared prior to my transfer.

I again have strep B, in which my doctor plans on running a longer course of antibiotics and doing a re-culture before I begin my second transfer.

Is this a common issue?

If I do not treat this, would this negatively affect my frozen transfer?

Thank you

Strep B is not something that is usually routinely tested for before IVF.

has research shown that Strep B can negatively affect a transfer?

My doctor seems to want to order every lab possible.

Thanks

I am not aware of any evidence that Strep B has any effect on IVF.
