A member asked:
Is there any chances of defects in ovum in the case of getting pregnant one month after i had chicken pox?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low chance: Herpes zoster, the virus that causes chicken pox, is not nearly as worrisome as herpes simplex, which is a bad thing in near term pregnancy.
