COVID vaccine

How are your docs handling it?

I work in healthcare and I am getting mine next month, they had no input one way or the other.

I work in health care, and I got my second vaccine last week. I got the first vaccine just I was realizing I was having a chemical pregnancy.

I’ve done a lot of reading about the vaccine, and I would be willing to get it while pregnant given the known risks of covid while pregnant are significant and there is no theoretical way for the vaccine to harm pregnancy.

I had been asking my reproductive immunologist when I could get the vaccine and how to time it with my immune suppressant medications I was taking to try to stay pregnant. I tapered off of them quickly to get as much immune response as I could given it turned out to be a chemical.

I usually just lurk here, hope it’s ok to respond.

I get my second shot (Pfizer) this coming Wednesday evening. I also work in healthcare, but am currently only working PRN. My org now is offering to all position types across the board now, too.

We are ttc post mid-second tri loss in September. I had no hesitation about getting it.

My doc has asked that I wait until my transfer, and then to reassess if it works. I'm thinking she doesn't want to disrupt the middle of the cycle, and had it been before or after I started, I think she would've given the OK.

Always ok, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm surprised they didn't mention it.  Are you cycling now?

I should have said I asked about it and they said I could get it, nothing more than that, no strong lean yes or no.

My current clinic is all for it. While intellectually I know the risks is low/none because of my past loss history of this cycle works I would be very hesitant to get it until after a birth or I guess another loss. Only because for me if I got it and had a loss later I would always wonder. But I understand that is not a rational feeling, it doesn't stop it, but I do know it isn't rational.

If this cycle doesn't work we are pausing until I can get it. My husband just got his first dose a week or two ago his second dose is next week (job)

I would feel this way too.
