Woken up with really swollen glands in middle of cycle...will it affect things?

[aamiller405]

So I could feel the glands on one side of my neck getting tender but Ive woke up todau and theyre so swollen, swallowing is now very hard to do! But ive no other symptoms.

Now im panicing that getting sick in the middle of my cycle will affect things or that the clinic might cancel the cycle or something???

Hey! I know how you feel. I am bid cycle and last night had to go to the doctor and have a sever throat and ear infection. They have put me on antibiotics. They are safe to take during pregnancy so hopefully they won’t effect the cycle. If you do feel poorly then do get seen as you don’t want all the good stuff fighting the bad and not leaving you even more poorly. Hope you feel better soon xx

I've picked up a bug too. Not sure what it is but husband's for a terrible sore throat and my daughter's ill throwing temps. I feel a bit run down. Just started progynova but hopefully will be better in a couple of weeks. Just not taking anything you can't take whilst being pregnant (basically everything apart from paracetomol) just in case even though no-one had said to.

Hey, I would suggest visiting the doctor. This happens with a lot of people. One of my friends had the same issue. However, they didn't cancel her cycle. They had her on antibiotics. I hope there is nothing serious. Good luck to you. Stay positive and strong.
