Flu shots & IVF?

Post by babiluv »

Has anyone ask their doctors about getting the flu shot before or during your cycle? My doctor said I can get it but I didnt ask her if it was nessecary or not? I just don't want this to harm my changes of getting a postive when i start next month.

I've been told the flu shot should not be given to pg women or breastfeeding women.... perhaps as you're trying, maybe you should wait until you're between cycles.

I haven't had the shot in the 2.5 yrs we've been ttc, just in case.

I've got flu shot a week ago. I'm planing for ET on December.
Its not important if you take before, on or after the cycle.
My doctor prefers me to take flu shot one month before preganancy, as he said they doesn't know yet simptoms on pregnancy.
