It just dawned on me yesterday when I was using the heating pad that maybe that is not good for fertility. Does anyone know if the heat could cause me to have a problem conceiving? I have it pretty hot, maybe I am hurting my eggs by doing this. Thanks for any information.

A heating pad cannot heat your eggs.
