Yes, I had a cold and was thinking of deferring my transfer. I remember coughing a lot and my FS told me I couldn't take cough medicine, so it wasn;t a mild cold. Well I"m glad I didn't defer my transfer!!!

Goodlcuk hun xx

Shouldn't affect things too much hoping for the best at your BT.

Hi hun,

If it is any consolation, although I did not have a cold... 2 days after transfer I was so violently ill that I didn't even care about my chances I just wanted to feel better. I had it coming from both ends and it was so not good .

I thought my chances were all over and wrote the cycle off (I didn't even POAS) and low and behold I got my BFP! Afterwards, I had a really bad sinus cold (felt just horrible) from 4w2d which lasted for over 2 weeks and bubs is doing just fine .

Hope this makes you feel a bit better and lots and lots of for you .

Positive, The day before my ET I contracted bad food poisoning, I had fevers, shakes, diarrhea- you name it! I was soooo sick just after ET and thought we had no chance!

My dd from that cycle is now 11 months old and fighting her afternoon nap!!

Best of luck for your test next week!

Hi Positive,

For my sixth transfer I was so sick I had to sit up with a nurse holding a cup of water with a straw to my mouth to try and help me not cough - and I sat up for the half hour rest after the transfer. My BFP is 9 months old and having a nap in the next room. If anything, your body is les likley to reject the embryo as it's so busy fighting off the cold - GL and FX
