    Sorry for your loss.  <b>The ladies here are trying to conceive. </b> You may have more luck on the Trimester boards regarding taking the vaccine during pregnancy.  Pretty much all the BMBs have discussion threads on this topic, so you may do well to lurk there, but I'm not sure how many are still active through the arrival of the babies.

    As to what anyone else's doctor told them about getting it while TTC, YMMV.  How did your own doctor advise you?  Personally, I would speak to your healthcare provider about this, before polling a bunch of random internet strangers.

  • This may be a UO, but speaking as someone who is over here worrying / not worrying <i>IF FORGETTING TO PUT ON SOCKS</i> could possibly harm my baby... you can probably guess how I personally would feel about taking any extra risk, whatsover, during pregnancy.  But hey.

    That's why it's a personal decision between you and your doctor, imho.
  • What @BusinessWife said.

    My PCP gave me her "off the record"/personal opinion with the "on the record" advice that it is ultimately up to me of 1 - whether or not I even want to get it and 2 - if I do want to get it, when am I most comfortable with receiving it.

    You can follow your own OB's advice or don't. It's the same with following your OB's recommendation of at least waiting for your first period post-MC to start TTC again.


    @acleverusername I laughed so much harder at your post than I did reading the original comment :joy:

  • I’m pumped to be fully vaccinated before getting pregnant. The risks of getting Covid while pregnant seem much worse than any likelihood of risks associated with the vaccine (of which there are none identified presently). I have a friend who’s an OBGYN so my thoughts are informed by her opinion. 

    I’m very sorry you had a miscarriage, that’s hard in normal times, much less during a pandemic. There’s zero evidence that the vaccine causes miscarriage or fertility issues. That said, a pregnancy loss naturally causes us to question every single thing we did in those early days. Was it the glass of wine? Was it the Advil? Did I work out too hard? So I understand just being nervous and concerned about any new variable (like a vaccine) that’s thrown into that experience.
