will headcold affect IUI?

HeathernStevenHeathernSteven member
in TTC after 35
I woke up today with the beginnings of a headcold, dh cold started Monday night....will rebut cancel an IUI for that? Will dh sperm be effected, going to tell him to lay off the meds till after U/s tomorrow to determine Iui date.

I knew I.should have been taking more vit C this weekend, we were at an event up in NH....lots people, dry air, just a haven for a cold virus to find new victims! Hindsight is 20/20 right?

    I can tell you that my DH has a head cold & I called the day before he was dropping off his SA - they said that the over-the-counter cold medicine would not affect it.  They were concerned about a fever - she actually mentioned 100 or over.

    Unfortunately I don't know what it will do to your eggs.  Call them, the ladies there are so nice.

    Don't think that headcold will effect IUI, but febrile illness (such as flu) might.  Wishing you all the best on your IUI and hope that you and YH recover quickly!

    I think it's ok, and I would let my DH take the meds. You don't want the headcold to get worse. Lots of fluids...good luck!

    I had the flu and supposedly the antibiotics I was on will help my IUI by clearing anything up down there I didn't know about!  Otherwise, I don't know the answer.  Just wanted to say GL on your IUI!!!

    Heather - how are you feeling?  I hope not sick anymore...  Did you call the RE to see what they say?  Will the IUI move forward?

    thanks for asking, I am feeling better, spent yesterday resting at home, taking lots of vitamins and drugs, still sick but feeling better. IUI will be Tues/weds depends on follies they were only 11's yesterday.

    RE told me to take and do everything I could to get better for IUI - so unless I get sick again I should be healthy by then, hopefully!!
