posting from IFV - Having a cold during stims/ER/ET

in Pregnant after IF

I've been feeling like crap for the past 2-3 weeks with a sinus infection. I started feeling better the week before last and after starting my antibiotics on Saturday last weekend when I started my stims, I was feeling 100% by Sunday. 

Flash forward to now - I can't believe this but I'm 99.9% sure I'm catching a cold. I go in tomorrow for monitoring. At my last appt. my RE thought I'd be triggering Sunday and ER is going to be Tuesday.

Were any of you sick during your ER/ET? From what I've read online, it shouldn't make a difference as long as you don't have a fever (which I never get with a cold)...but of course I can't help but freak out a bit.

TIA lovely ladies.

    I had a sinus infection during my ER. They just watched me extra closely under anesthesia!

    I was sick as well! No worries! You can see I am still going here!

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

    I did IUI, not IVF, but I was sick with a cold and it didn't effect anything. I just had to wear a mask in the RE's office so I didn't infect anyone else.
    Unfortunately, since I got pg, my immune system took a hit and my cold turned into a major sinus infection and ear infection about 2-3 weeks later. Take your vitamins and drink lots of fluids.

    I thought I was starting to feel a cold coming on for my first cycle.  My RE told me to just watch and make sure I don't get a fever. I started practically main lining EmergenC and ended up not getting sick.

    Good luck!!!  Fingers are crossed for you!!!

    Thanks for the replies, Ladies Smile I'm feeling a lot less anxious already after reading these. 

    I started taking Airborne last night and I'm still taking my multivitamin and drinking lots of fluids so I hope I can nip this in the bud!

    I had the flu and a low-grade fever.  My RE wasn't concerned and it didn't effect the outcome.

    Hope you feel better soon! GL!

    I was sick both IVF rounds....both considered a success. I have a bad cold for ET the first time and for this last time I had a bad case of bronchitis for ER and ET which required me to have a spinal instead of anesthesia for safety reasons. No effect on anything either time.

    I woke up the morning after my FET sick as a dog. I went through an entire box of sudafed in the next 2 days. I was 100% convinced that this cycle was a bust but if you look in my siggy you will see it wasn't. =)

    Good luck!!
