  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?
