ZIKA Update

by | Aug 9, 2016

If you are trying to get pregnant, Carolina Conceptions recommends that you have your partner freeze his sperm prior to traveling to the countries listed below.  The Zika virus can be passed through sperm, which can therefore be transmitted to you while you are trying to get pregnant.  In order to ensure you are not infected, you can freeze as many specimens as needed prior to treatment.  To learn more about the Zika Virus, please visit www.cdc.gov/zika
