Fever/ sickness during ovulation. Will my fever cook the sperm

[RubyNZ]

Hey all, pretty self explanatory. I had a fever and body aches type sickness, the day of, and for 3 days after ovulation.

I know (pretty sure) I ovulated because of OPKs.

We dtd day before ovulation. Do you think the fever or sickness would have effected the sperm that was waiting in me? Or does heat and fever only effect sperm in testes. Not sure wether I should count myself out this month. Of course I know there’s always a chance. Just struggle with the emotional rollercoaster that is TTC

Thank you 🙃

I had flu during ovulation this month and I’ve tested positive im pregnant! So definitely do not rule yourself out. Good luck xx

@1111hope congratulations. I’m so happy for you ❤️ what a nice feeling.

did you have the whole fever and body aches thing with you flu too around ovulation?

its good to know it’s not a complete rule out :)

Yeah the doctor said I had proper flu I was really really bad :( but yea don’t rule it out I thought the same haha

@1111hope oh wow, I’m so happy for your surprise then! Thanks for your response
