The question
Hi Dr. She’s,
Due to countless fibroids and endometriosis, I spent two and half years bleeding heavily with no respite. As a result I was severely anemic and had to undergo many iron and blood infusions/transfusions to stabilize my iron. I’m wondering about the impact of anemia on egg development/quality as I’ve completed two rounds of IVF (which resulted in 3 euploid blasts- two 4cc’s, and one 4ab) and want to be sure I’m doing all I can to set myself up for a successful 3rd round. Thank you!
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
As long as the anemia has been cured, there should not be any significant adverse effect on egg/embryo quality.
Good luck!
Geoff Sher
