Looking for positive stories of natural conception while husband having COVID as I heard it could damage the sperm quality?

We conceived while my husband had COVID. I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant and baby looked healthy on the 12 week scan x

We conceived when partner had COVID and I tested positive for COVID shortly after. Was convinced that we'd missed the chance that month, but nope, must've done the deed smack bang at ovulation!

We had been trying for a few months with no joy, both caught covid when it was my fertile window but didn’t want to miss our chances so carried on having sex and that’s when I fell pregnant Grin

Doesn’t it help a bit when the immune system is busy doing something else?

Hi everyone sorry to piggyback off this post but I’m in a similar position that husband had covid when we conceived (fortunately did not pass to me) but I have increasing anxiety about the welfare of the baby as we approach the 20 week scan. Any experiences who were in a similar position would be really appreciated thank you x

Me and my partner both had covid when we conceived. 14 weeks and everything is looking good.

Not trying to cause a debate; genuine question.
Why would/could it have made a difference? Its serious like flu can be I do get that but what makes it so different? Didn't consider it an issue but wondering if I should?
