Illness and IVF

This is probably a stupid question but I'm a little worried so I'm going to ask.  My husband and I have been sick with this awful cough for the last week.  No fever or anything just a cold/cough.  Is this going to affect anything with our cycle?  I start my meds next week so I'm thinking (hoping) I will be better by then.  However, what about sperm quality?  My husband has not had issues in the past but i know it can change depending on things....I've always just heard fever but I don't know...

Thanks for listening and again, sorry if this question is ridiculous.  ;)

In the middle of our cycle my husband and I were deathly ill, while I was stimming. I called the RE before we went to the doctor to ask this question and if we can take any medication, he said it was no issue. Hope you feel better soon. GL!

I had a wicked cold while stimming and asked my nurse and doctor, and neither were worried. They wouldn't let me take any meds except for sudafed and tylenol, though, which sucked.

Me: 33, DH: 32, Started TTC #1 since November '11
Saw RE April 2012 due to irregular cycles, Dx'd PCOS (normal weight)
Clomid 50mg, 100mg, then Femara 7.5, no response after 7 cycles
Testing = normal CD3 bw, normal HSG, v high antral follicle count; good DH SA
IUI #1 on 7/11/12 but poor monitoring and found out after that I never ovulated
New RE; Begin IVF September '12: Lupron, Gonal-F, Ovidrel trigger
14 days of stims, ER 9/30/12 (17 eggs, 12 fert)
ET 10/5/12, single blast transfer, 6 frozen
Home Digi 10/13 (8dp5dt): BFP! Beta 1: 11, Beta 2: 10 = chemical preg :(
FET #1 single embryo transfer: 11/10/12
5dp5dt:BFP! Beta 1- 122; Beta 2- 160; Beta 3- 202; Beta 4- 276
Poor prognosis, U/S inconclusive, 11/27 stopped all meds
12/12/12 - hcg mid 40s, MTX shots; 12/24/12 - hcg same, 2nd MTX shots;
1/23/13, hcg finally at zero. Blood work shows abnormal NK cell activity, but holding off on treatment this cycle
FET #2: 2/9/13, Beta #1, 2/18/13: 265!!, Beta #2, 2/20/13: 570!!, Beta #3 2/22/13: 1445!! Saw gestational sac and yolk sac on US 2/26/13

Resting is good for IVF and your illness, so no problem there. Coughing won't push the embryos out either. Feel better and good luck!

I was super sick when we were going through IVF, in fact I got a really bad cold after the transfer. I work with students all day since I'm a teacher and germs are pretty much a part of the territory. I was completely freaking out but the nurse said to treat my body like I was pregnant and take meds that pregnant women can take. I think you should be fine. Good luck! It's not a silly question..when I was going through my first round of IVF I was freaked out and paranoid about everything.
Married for 3 years to the love of my life! TTC for over a year. Started seeing RE in April 2012. Lap in July revealed endo covering left ovary and part of my bowels. This will require extensive surgery by a specialist. RE wants us to have babies first because surgery could compromise my ability to carry. Started first round of IVF in August. Ten follies retrieved, eight fertilized, two frosties. IVF #1= C/P *Frozen Embie Transfer scheduled for end of Nov/Dec. Going to transfer 2 frosties if all goes according to plan*
FET # 1 [12/18]: Transferred two "beautiful" embies.
Beta # 1: 126 [BFP!]
Beta # 2: 546
Beta #3: 1618!!
Beta # 4 - 4954!!!!!! Ultrasound 1/18 - Two heartbeats at 121 and 136. Fraternal twins! Um, is this really happening?!
