Getting ready for FET and I've tested positive for Covid

[HemBella]

Morning ladies

I'm so upset, I've been feeling unwell over the weekend and this morning tested positive for Covid.

I've had two intralipids and am on 10mg predisolone (amongst a million other things), so I guess I was going to be more susceptible to it. I'm due to transfer next week and my lining is currently on track to be the best its ever been, so everything is heading in the right direction but now I have covid. I really dont want this cycle to be cancelled as its my last one.

Also, can I take paracetamol? I dont want to do anything to risk lining thinning

I dont know what to do. Anyone had similar experience?

HemBella, i know exactly how you feel. The same thing happened to me in July. My cycle was unfortunately cancelled but the advice around this may have changed. I think the only thing you can do is discuss with your clinic. I did toy with the idea of not revealing the positive test to the clinic but quickly decided that this was a bad idea. I have only one frozen embryo left and so didnt want risk it.

It is absolutely devastating i know. I cried for days. Hope the advice has changed and you can continue xx

Thanks for your reply Haf05. It’s my last euploid embryo too. We have another mosaic but that’s complicated

I’m 43 and mentally had psyched myself up that this will be the last one. After 7 transfers I’m so tired of this rollercoaster. But obviously want to give the last one the best chance.

In some ways I wish I hadn’t tested this morning!

Hi HemBella. So sorry to hear you have Covid. First of all it is safe to take paracetamol but no anti inflammatories such as ibuprofen. Drink plenty of fluids. Here's the latest we have on covid fertilitynetworkuk.org/?s=c...

Hope all goes well for you. Diane

Hi lovely, poor you! What bad luck. Different clinics have different policies so probably best to chat with them. Likelihood is they wouldn’t let you come in for transfer if still testing positive because you could transmit the virus to other patients or staff, but many clinics seem fine with continuing treatment if you’re testing negative and feeling recovered. I had Covid last Christmas and my clinic wanted me to continue with treatment (although I postponed by a month as I felt too unwell) Xx

hey! How are you feeling. I thought I would not test once I was being prepped as I thought I don’t want to know. But then I thought actually I do as I want my body to be in the best place possible and don’t want to be thinking of it didn’t work was it because of ….
