Latest advice after catching Covid..

[Roobs33]

Hey,

I was due to start my second cycle mid June but tested positive for Covid yesterday. I’ve been quite unwell with it the last few days and it’s the first time I’ve had it. My husband had it back in March so I’m hoping he won’t catch it again so soon.

I just wondered if anyone knows the latest regarding if it causes any issues with egg quality. I’ve read that it’s 3 months wait for sperm quality. Our clinic mentioned 2 months delay but I’ve read online that you only need to be clear 28 days before starting treatment.

I just feel so fed up having to wait again. I had a miscarriage back in March after a FET and now just feel like time is dragging on and on.

Anyway if anyone has any idea of how long I should wait that would be helpful, as planning the next cycle was the only thing keeping me going! Wishing everyone well on your journeys xxx

Hi there, oh no...so sorry you have caught covid. It’s the last thing you need right now and of course you don’t want more delays. The clinic I’m currently with advises being clear of covid for 1 month before an ivf cycle can start. I guess each clinic has different protocols. I hope you can start your cycle in July🤞 In the meantime, try to take care and get yourself in the best health for your next cycle. Wishing you all the best x

Thank you so much for your reply. That’s good to know that you haven’t been advised more than a month. Part of me feels glad to finally get it out the way and then won’t have to be so worried during treatment. I’ll call the clinic once I’m better and talk it through with them. I had awful sciatic pain from my endo for two weeks prior to this. But since getting this that has gone! I guess an extra month to get strong and healthy again is probably going to work out better. Thanks again and hope all is going ok with you xx

Oh that's so crap 😥 feel better soon! I was advised the only actual issue with getting covid was whether it was safe to sedate you for egg collectio. I was told they'd not do EC within 7 weeks of a diagnosis.

Thanks for your reply that’s really helpful to know. Fingers crossed I can start mid July. The thought of waiting any longer just seems like torture! Wishing you all the best xxx

Hi, I caught Covid at the end of March a few weeks before we supposed to start fresh cycle and my partner tested positive a week after me.Our clinic has advised us to wait a month as apparently egg collection could be made 7 weeks after testing positive, they have asked for sperm to be tested again but not mentioned anything about egg quality.

Hope you won’t have to wait long and wishing you all the best xxx

Hi Roobs. I started my second cycle the month following a Covid infection (both me and husband had it) and was super worried it would affect our results, but they were more or less the same honestly. Xxx
