Can I Do IVF With Cough And Cold?
I am about to embark on another ivf cycle with today being day one of my cycle and an approximate egg collection date in about 12 days. I have been unwell for the past 3 weeks on and off with a lingering cough, cold and blocked ears. I went to my GP and he has told me that there is nothing he can do for me and has suggested that I use a saline nasal spray to help me get better. So, my question for you is . . . Should I carry on with ivf this month? Will being unwell affect the quality of my embryos?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Yes you can fo for IVF if you are having only cough and cold, and no fever. However, if you are feeling sore throat or fever, then the infection may affect the IVF.
