vaccine boosters while TTC

Did you get any vaccine boosters before you started TTC or IF treatments?

I didn't, and I'm calling my dr tomorrow to see what, if any, I can get during my cycle break after a failed IVF. Just curious to see what shots you did. 

IVF/ICSI #1 - BFP, DS born Jan 2013
IVF/ICSI #2 - BFP, DD born Feb 2015
IVF FET - BFP, due April 2017

    I had to get a MMR vaccine since I never had one. Ive never had any vaccines besides that, so no boosters.  That was the only requirement by my RE since rubella can mean dire things for a fetus. My RE didn't even mention anything else. Since it was a live virus, I had to TTA for one cycle after.

    Funny you mention this...got results from my CD 21 bloodwork and all looked normal except for my Varicella (chicken pox) number? The nurse said the level or whatever was right at borderline and my RE may want me to get the vaccine which would mean waiting 3 months before I could try to get pregnant. I was pretty confused about it because I had a very mild case of the chicken pox as a child..have an appt with the RE next week so figured we'd clear it up then. I was just so happy to hear that everything else looked good that I guess I didn't ask enough questions about that!

    Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test :(
    Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.

    ticker warning!!!! So sorry, I thought I was posting on IFV and now I can't delete, I will remove my ticker.

     

    I was tested for both varicella (chicken pox) and MMR. My MMR was fine, but I never did have chicken pox as a child and I apparently was not immune. I had to get that which I thought was going to delay cycles, but really by the time I was up and running and doing BCP I was all clear from the shot.

    2 IVFs & 1 FET. Welcome home baby girl!
