covid during donor egg frozen cycle

[Tir-26]

hi all, my husband tested positive for Covid and I am concerned I’ll catch it next, we are due to FET on 1st December, in Spain. if I catch the virus should we delay? I haven’t started any medication yet but will be very soon.

I’m too scared to test for covid but feeling a little flu like! I really dont want to delay!

I had covid at the beginning of august and started meds for my fet on the 2nd of September. It honestly didn’t cause me any problems xxx

I read a medical article which seemed to conclude that the only effect of COVID on IVF was a reduction in the number of top quality embryos if you get it while preparing for or doing egg collection and fresh transfer or on the man's sperm and advised waiting 3 months before doing another egg collection, fresh transfer, freezing of embryos etc in both these scenarios. While I can understand they wouldn't want you at the clinic when you actually have COVID as you could infect doctors and nurses who could then infect those doing stims etc, I can't see how having COVID now could affect a frozen transfer in December. It might be worth doing some research around frozen transfers though to hopefully set your mind at rest.
