Flu & IVF

I am supposed to start my next IVF cycle around 7/15.
I have the flu right now.
Do you think this would effect it?
I can't afford to take chances at this point. If I have to I guess I can wait another month?
I am also going through a stressful time at home thanks to some of DH's family members who are staying with us (including their 2 year old)...but that is another story.

Karen,

I would check with your doctor about it. I can't say for sure. Dr. B assured me that me having bronchitis at the start of my transfer and through the wait wouldn't hurt my chances of a BFP. I believe him, he would never sugar coat it for me. But I can't help but think if I had been healthy and not on antibiotics, coughing, sneezing and not sleeping, maybe it would have worked.

Feel better!

feel better soon! we just all got over the flu here. Pretty much all the symptoms were gone within a week for us, the cough lasted a couple extra days a did the fatigue, but those weren't bad at all at that point. I hope you have a speedy recovery and get over it as quickly if not quicker. Are you on Tamiflu? I think that really shortened the recovery time. If you have 3 weeks until you start things for the cycle, I would think that you would be fine.

I got very, very sick during my IVF cycle - terrible cough that traveled to my lungs. I even resorted to using my daughter's nebulizer My doc still went through the retreival and transfer, and I still ended up PG

Re: Flu & IVF

Thanks ladies. I emailed the nurse today to see what she thinks.
I'm on tamiflu and I'm starting to feel better.
Always something....
