Coughing??

This may sound completely ridiculous but do u think excessive coughing could hinder your chance of conceiving?
I have been coughing non stop since we dtd the other night!! I have sore abs and ribs from it! Coughing that is not dtd lol

Bump :)

I don't think so Ez. I have a friend who has a LOT of trouble TTC and hanging onto her bubbas, she had a really bad cough when she conceived this time and is now 11 weeks pregnant. :)
I should be O'ing today or tomorrow and I also have a really bad cough at the moment, so it hope it doesn't affect it.

Thanks Maz! Not actually sure what my cycle is up to at the moment to know. I think I od late..time will tell! Good luck to u :)

I had my IVF transfer when I had a cold a few weeks back and got a BFP (yet to be confirmed by BT). Another person also had a similar experience. One of my friends IRL had the flu when she fell. So, I think you've got just as much a chance as any other cycle. I do understand why you might think the chances are reduced, as I thought the same.

Congrats on your bfp Lisa. It's more the act of coughing that I'm worried about... It feels like I'm going to cough my insides out!!!

Just don't sneeze :lol: It's not pretty!

I try not to cough after dtd but I suppose that any swimmers that get "coughed out" after a few mins aren't ones that would have had much chance anyway
