Can flu vaccine affect conception?

Flu and Covid jabs tomorrow but also 7dpo. Saw an article saying vaccines can make trigger an immune response and so your body is almost too busy to accept the implantation/pregnancy - just like some viruses can impact ovulation and TTC.

It won’t make any difference will it?

What’s 7dpo? Are you pregnant?

What’s 7dpo? Are you pregnant?

No, just trying. A week after ovulation and about a week before my period.

Can you link to the article please?
Triggering an immune response is exactly what vaccines are for. It doesn’t make your body too busy to do other things.
Our immune systems are active all the time every day. We’re just not normally aware of it.

Ahh right ok. My 2nd covid vaccine triggered a massive mid cycle bleed for me (I’m talking had to replace duvet) so I definitely would not have one if I was pregnant. My concern with trying for a baby and wanting to keep eye on cycle etc would be that this could happen again and mess up my cycle for a few months
