    Arielle,

    I had my fluvax shot today and am expecting FET later this week. I had always been hesitant prior as was worried about it interferring with general health but believe that being pregnant and getting the flu would be no fun either. The nurse showed me in her book that it is recommended for women who are trying to get pregnant or are already pregnant. I don't think they would have done any comprehensive studies on fertility and the fluvax injection to know if it really reduces pregnancy rates.

    I can't answer your question about the NK cell side of things but would be so interested to know if you find anything out. I know that this doesn't sound scientific or anything, but the body seems to separate different systems quite well at times.

    Hopefully it's an OK decision I've made. I've heard of others having a really bad flu during all their IVF and still conceiving.

    Good luck with transfer no. 4
