Unwell with sore throat and runny nose - transfer tomorrow?

[ttcemmie]

Okay, so I'm not feeling very well, and my frozen embryo transfer is booked in for tomorrow. Will me being ill effect implantation? Should I postpone transfer?

[FrancyItaly]

Feeling the same right now with runny nose and sore throat! Hmmm I don’t think it would affect it but perhaps it would be better to ask the clinic, it’s not good to start the 2ww while in doubt! Good luck! Xxx

[ttcemmie in reply to FrancyItaly]

Thanks. I am nervous about asking them in case they recommend to cancel it! Which is ridiculous, because if that's what they recommend that's what I should do?

[FrancyItaly in reply to ttcemmie]

Yeah I understand, I would go ahead with it! Good luck! x

[FrancyItaly in reply to ttcemmie]

Hey how did it go? xxx

[ttcemmie in reply to FrancyItaly]

Thanks Francesca. I didn't want to spam the board with the progress of my journey being me me me when people are going through tougher situations. Embryo thawed perfectly, had transfer, and now it's just the waiting game. The clinic staff were all really lovely and it was a positive experience.

Great news! Best of luck for ODT! Xxxx

[ttcemmie in reply to FrancyItaly]

Thanks. Please keep me up to date with what's happening on your journey. xxxx

Plenty of updates and questions coming soon 🤣

Hi, I felt horrendous when we went for my 3rd transfer and we wondered about cancelling it. Then I was worried I looked so ill that they’d cancel it! My clinic said unless you have a high temperature there’s no need as it will have no impact on implantation, however rough you feel. Personally I’d go ahead with it. We have a 19 month old from that transfer x

Thanks Solly!!! That's really great to hear. Thank you so much for sharing that.

[Solly-44 in reply to ttcemmie]

Good luck & hope you feel better soon!

Hi lovely, so pleased you're getting ready for transfer!

I wouldn't worry about being under the weather. Like Solly-44 says unless you have a temperature, you should be fine.

Just drink lots of fluids and rest up.

Best of luck xx

[ttcemmie in reply to Millbanks]

Thanks Millbanks. No temperature. Just don't know if being unwell helps or hinders embryo implantation. Don't want my body attacking the embryo whilst it's attacking things to make me well. Orrrr maybe a weakened immune system makes implantation easier? I'm overthinking it. It's complete luck and we'll see what happens! Taking lots of rest.

[Millbanks in reply to ttcemmie]

That’s a good thought actually 🤔It could well be helpful!!

They will refuse to do the transfer if you have COVID but I believe that is because they obviously don't want to catch it. If it is just a cold though I can't see why they would have a problem with it. Also a high temperature can cause miscarriage at the time you have the temperature as I understand it but not sure it would affect embryo transfer. All the best with it. I hope it all goes well Xx

[ttcemmie in reply to Koala365]

Thanks Koala. Not covid and no temperature, and I'm feeling a bit better today, so feeling pretty positive about the transfer earlier.

[Koala365 in reply to ttcemmie]

Great news! All the best with it all xx

Hi, I had my transfer then within 36 hours I had covid! Now 8 and a bit weeks and going well. All the best!

[ttcemmie in reply to EmBu1]

That's great to know! Really really helps to hear people that were unwell and got pregnant. Thank you. x

[EmBu1 in reply to ttcemmie]

All the best!!

I would suggest you test for covid. Those doctors also look after loads of other patients some of whom are immunocompromised and wouldn’t do well getting covid. Think of the other people.

[ttcemmie in reply to Saddoc]

Thanks Saddoc. I have tested for covid. I tested anyway because of feeling ill, but the clinic also require it. Not covid thankfully. And feeling quite a bit better today!

[Saddoc in reply to ttcemmie]

Glad to hear you are covid free. Hope your transfer went ok.
