Update to chicken pox vaccine

in Infertility

I decided to get the vaccine. So upsetting to delay my FET but, after all we've been through I can't bring myself to starting a potential pregnancy knowing I'm at risk for something that could be prevented. One thing my RE said is that normally you need two vaccines spaced 30 days apart, but they will let me retest 30 days after the first dose to see if it up'd my immunity. If it did, I can start a cycle again. If it didn't, I  have to do second dose and wait another 30 days. There is a chance that the vaccine won't up my immunity at all, some people thats the case, but my RE is encouraging me to try.

I am in pharma sales and in and out of doctors offices on a daily basis so this also weighed on my decision to go forward with the vaccines. 

I really wish I knew about this before, could have taken care of it while I was benched waiting for FET. They just added this to their pre-treatment protocol so I wasnt tested last time around. It's just one of those things.

 I Wanted to post thus in case there are any ladies out there who are benched, you may want to get your immunity to varicella checked so you won't be benched again later. Wish I did!

 So sad not to be an April shower, but I will be lurking and rooting for you girls!

    My RE recommended that I get the vaccine too.  I have had chicken pox twice during early childhood, once at five and once at ten.  I am worried to get the vaccine and then turn around and get full blown chicken pox again.
