Covid got me - cycle day 9 pre FET 😭

[Minniemouse88]

Any similar stories? Or messages of positivity?

Currently feeling rubbish and rather sorry for myself after testing COVID positive today with a fever and banging head last night. I was supposed to be in clinic today for day 9 scan pre-FET. I'm so frustrated as I really hoped to transfer this embryo before I start a new job in November. I caught it from work (NHS) but had my booster two weeks ago, so wasn't expecting it to get me.

As I'm doing a natural cycle, clinic nurse advised me this morning to test again on Monday. If it's negative they want to try and save this cycle. To be honest, I'm not sure what to do as it's our 5th and last embryo from this round. I want to give it the best chance and don't know if having COVID a week and a half before transfer is conducive to success.

Also desperate for DH not to get it ahead of another stimulation cycle in case it affects his sperm.

What a nightmare! 😭

Hey Minnie

Oh no! Sorry to hear you have been a victim of covid at the worst time. It's a tough one because advice varies between clinics as to what to do. What does your gut tell you? I am learning to listen more to my gut feelings as I think there is something in it to make sure you feel as much at ease with what you're doing as possible. Xx

Thank you for your supportive message. I hope you are doing okay with all you are going through. I've decided I'm just going to focus on getting better today and think about what to do tomorrow. I also couldn't bear to inadvertently pass on to anyone in clinic if there was a chance I might still be contagious, so most probably will postpone and hope my new boss is understanding.

What a battle this process is.

Thank you again x

Morning sorry to hear your unwell with Covid I’m finishing my 2nd week and have been really unwell still.

I had such a bad tummy and the fever takes it out of you.

After you test positive the virus is still in you and I postponed my IVF this month to feel better with the meds too that can impact your health.

Go with what the doctors suggest but ultimately you should feel better for your body to receive your embryos.

I’m so sorry I totally understand but from my experience Covid got me bad recently.

Best Wishes for your recovery ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, sorry you've been so unwell too. Yes, I'm still having waves of fever and bed bound so know I'm not up to it this month. Sending good wishes to you for a speedy recovery and a successful transfer next month xx♥️

Thanks babe literally go with this virus you can’t fight it.

I got a terrible sore throat day 5 but no cough. Or any cold. The head ache and body aches are bad I totally understand.

Best of luck it’s a terrible strain and was my first time so felt it more maybe than others don’t know:

I was like you panicked stricken and then had to just go with it. Clinic let me choose but recommended to get better first.

Sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery and all the best for transfer 🤞🏻❤️‍🩹

Thank you lovely, I was still testing positive today and feel very unwell so relieved to have the decision taken out of my hands. Thank you for the moral support during my wobble! Sending you healthy and positive vibes Xx♥️

You’re so welcome I was exactly the same last week utter panic ! In the end the body needs to be stronger I know it’s so annoying.

Some weirdo on here asked me why I was testing for covid and had a go at me about it. Absolutely a waste of time with zero empathy so I had to take my post down.

Wish you better try to eat I found paracetamol didn’t do much.

GoodLuck Minnie 🤍🙏 x
