  • IVF treatment does involve hormone medication, but you’re only on hormone medications for a week and a half, so we don’t see an impact on hair loss at that time.

    Some women with infertility (defined as not being able to conceive after one year or more of unprotected sex) may experience hair loss due to hormone imbalances, though.
