Stinking cold with egg collection tomorrow....worried

[Pollykitten]

It shouldn't matter right?! Please tell me it doesn't matter..... about to do 5th round of IVF, this time with donor sperm (all others with low quality after vasectomy DH's). I'm really exited at one level - had to bring forward my egg collection date as I was responding so well - 12 follicles each side - but I'm a bit concerned that feeling so under the cosh with this cold/sore throat might affect things. Anybody have experience of this?

HI sorry I have no experience but didn't want you to go unanswered!

I've not expereince EC as my last IVF was abandoned, and I've only just started my second go, but I can't see any reaon it would affect the procedure or the outcome? Plus colds can go as quick as they come - I'd suggest you look after yourself today, if it was me I'd have a hot hot chilli for tea to sweat it out [sorry can't suggest my other preferred cold remedy of red wine!] and get an early night,

Good luck! that sounds like a great haul for them to harvest x

thanks for the reply.... red wine is my usual cure-all too, dammit!

No worries

If you need any handholding over the next couple of weeks, or help with post-IVF symptom spotting this is a nice thread full of people going through the same thing x
