A member asked:

Co exposure (600 ppm) for about 5 seconds. is this enough to harm an embryo at implantation stage? (8 days after ivf implantation). i am freaking out

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Unlikely: it would harm you first before doing any harm to implanted embryo, exposure time is measured by hours not seconds, wish you a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby
