Self isolation during two week wait?

Hello, I'm finally getting close to arranging FET! Im being really careful about catching covid just now because of hospital appointments. I'm wondering about after the FET though. Should I still be extra careful? Will catching covid effect the chances of success? I think I'm over paranoid about everything but I just really don't want to mess up my chances.

Are you vaccinated?

Yes, double vaccinated

That's great! Odds are you won't get it then, and if you do you'll be protected. I read a study that fewer miscarriages are happening in vaccinated women, as opposed to not. So I think your good. If you want to isolate that's fine but be sure to go for walks outside. I've read multiple studies that said being sedentary during the 2WW lowers your chances of success. Going for walks helps blood flow to the uterus. Good luck!

I am also wondering this.It’s hard to know the right thing to do.

It would be awful to have to delay the process because of not being able to go in to the clinic if we watch to catch covid

What have your clinic said ? X

They just said to be careful and avoid big parties etc. One doctor did say the 'unofficial' advice is to avoid catching covid. And I think she meant in terms of our health not just the self-isolation issue. You are right, I should probably ask them about this more.
