Hi Caroline, are you able to get it? I know it's not available in most provinces to many folks unless you are in a priority group. There isn't specific research yet on fertility and COVID vaccines, but this is the latest on pregnancy and COVID vaccines. Though much still needs to be done, and the long term impacts aren't clear, it looks promising so far. https://www.ctvnews....borns-1.5362003

I was thinking I could just schedule the vaccine mid-April after egg retrieval but Im day 5 and I have a hcg level of 11! So frustrating. It seems I had a chemical pregnancy bc we were ttc last cycle. My cycle started right on time though!
Im still hopeful my hcg level will go down and I could start the meds in 4 days? Not sure of the protocol when its later.
So now this could delay everything.. so vaccine not until possibly later in May?

I don't think there is any research that connects the two together yet.

The nurse I spoke to had a stronger opinion that the vaccine wont affect further embryos but how can they say for certain?

I dont know anything much about vaccines but I read on my clinic support group today that a doctor at my clinic told one patient they wanted at least 7 days between vaccine dose and retrieval.
I also saw on a hospital Instagram page a study that the vaccine does not affect fertility (I can try to find the link after work if interested).
So hard to know what to do! Good luck!

Yes! It was a roller coaster of emotions. I thought we should try but this happened. I dont regret trying but its still hard to now wait.
Reading this two publications is making me think I should get it... hm I need to think about this. I have two little kids already so I also have to think about being around to be their mother! This new variant is making me even more worried.
Daisy how are you doing? You were due around the same time as me I think... I miscarried at 10 weeks in December.

I remember your loss, I was so sad to hear about it. What a hard several months for you. I hope this next retrieval goes smoothly.
I am doing well thanks! Im feeling good and things are progressing nicely so far.
