Hi,

Thanks for the query.

Caster oil pack is not known to have any benefits on the results of IVF; neither does it cause any harm.
You can take it if it gives you mental satisfaction; but please don't take in excess of prescribed dose.

Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have any other concern.

Regards
