Well come to HCM
Look as long as the side effect of drug are concern on fetus so the drug effects mainly works organogenesis phase it may not affect the implantation of embryo and the drug called Sudafed may not be having any effect on developing of embryo in case of IVF, hope this information helps you, take care.
