Re: OK for husband to be on antibiotics?
LYD10- I think it should be fine for him to be on antibiotics. At the clinic I just switched over to they just prescribed my DH a course of antibiotics to take sometime before the retreival. When we asked why they said that both of us needed to have a course of antibiotics in the past year...since this is IVF #4 I lucked out and already had a few courses. Your husband should be fine though.

Re: OK for husband to be on antibiotics?
My IVF clinic prescribed my DH an antibiotic before our fresh transfer also to prevent any infections. But, I would check with your RE first because every antibiotic is not the same and they should be aware of any medications that both of you are currently on.

Re: OK for husband to be on antibiotics?
I think my clinic made my DH take some before the transfer as well. It will be fine, try not to worry too much!
