[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotally I see more allergies in children conceived with fertility treatments.[/quote]

Bingo.[/quote]

I have one child conceived via IVF and another from a surprise pregnancy several years after we had stopped treatment.  Guess which one has multiple anaphylactic food allergies?  It isn't the IVF baby!

Both were breastfed, and we also did early introduction of major allergens with both.  [/quote]

Yeah but you're missing the point. YOU are the one who had fertility treatment, not the kids. [/quote]
What is she missing? That her fertility treatments had no impact in anything?[/quote]

That they might have. Are you not an English speaker? It's quite plainly written. [/quote]

I'm the PP who had IVF.  If IVF might be a cause of food allergies as other PPs indicated, then why is my IVF child the one who DOESN'T have food allergies, but my naturally conceived child does?  That's what the other PP was questioning.  Did you read this entire line of the thread?
Of course, I'm a sample size of 1.[/quote]

DP who disagrees with the pps blaming Ivf.

I think one of them is suggesting that ivf ( drugs etc) altered your system and it affected the second baby.

As someone with undiagnosed infertility and 2 kids with lots of allergies ( no ivf), I think whatever  is causing the infertility caused the allergies/ immune issues they have.

IVF PP back again.  I read it (perhaps incorrectly) as IVF babies are more likely to develop allergies.  I’ve seen that “theory” more than a few times.
