Neural tube defect risk-heat exposure
We are trying to get pregnant. I ovulated on Dec 23-24 . I sat in front of heater for 2-3 hours on Dec 27-28-29. Today I heard that heat exposure can cause neural tube defect. Can someone please let us know if heat can have an impact at such an early time?

To get a defect in the foetus you should first be pregnant.
From your story I don't think you are pregnant yet.
