Depakote and surrogacy

Mon, 06/18/2018 - 23:40
I’ve been on depakote for awhile now and am curious how surrogacy would work. I know it causes birth defects but would it cause them outside of my own body? Has anyone taken depakote when the harvested their eggs to surrogate out?

Definitely run it by your doc

Definitely run it by your doc, but I can't imagine the meds would effect your eggs.
