Possible: While it is know that marijuana causes chromosomal breakage, it is not clear whether it is responsible for miscarriages and infertility. I usually advise my patients to err on the side of caution and stay away from it.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with her Gynecologist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
