Hello,

I am currently a new patient of RPMG starting IVF. I have a question..

I was told to stop taking prenatal vitamins because there is evidence that they can have a toxic effect on one cell, eight cell and 150 cell embryos. I can't find any evidence to support this theory or believe, just curious if you could offer some insight?

Thanks!!

Who told you that? That's not an instruction that we usually give. We do recommend stopping herbal medications when starting stimulation, but not the usual prenatal vitamins.
