Hepatitis B is transmitted from mother to child at birth, not at the time of conception. Hence, Hepatitis B is not an issue for IVF, as the virus cannot be transmitted at IVF.
If the IVF is successful, you would be no different from many other Hepatitis B mothers. To prevent transmission at birth, your baby will need Hepatitis B vaccination and immunoglobulin within 12 hours of birth.
During pregnancy, your obstetrician will monitor your liver function and Hepatitis B viral load. If the viral load is very high, the risk of transmission to the baby at birth increases despite the usual precautions. If so, you may need to see a liver specialist to start medication for Hepatitis B to further decrease the risk.
If you have not done so before, you may want to consult a liver specialist for a proper liver assessment even before pregnancy.
