We are planning this month and right now I have a bad cold n blocked nose. Should we wait till im better or it doesnt matter? Dont want to miss my window but also dont want any issue.
Dekho, a normal cold doesn't affect your ovulation or chances of conceiving. But if you have high fever, then take a break. Avoid taking random over-the-counter tablets, just stick to warm water and ginger tea for now.
During my journey, I realized our bodies are very strong. A simple cold won't stop conception, but if you are feeling very weak, better rest a bit. Post-delivery recovery taught me that listening to your body is most important, so don't force yourself if you are feeling down.
Haha if we stopped trying every time we had a runny nose, half of us wouldn't have babies! Just go ahead if you have the energy, but honestly, if you are feeling miserable, just sleep. You will need all the sleep you can get once the baby actually arrives, trust me!
Actually, my doctor told me that mild viral infections don't impact egg quality or implantation. But she strictly warned against self-medicating with strong decongestants when trying to conceive. Better stick to steam inhalation and consult a gynac if you run a high fever.
I actually conceived during a month when I had a massive cold and cough! I was so sure it wouldn't happen that cycle, but it did. Just stay hydrated and don't stress too much about a minor block nose.
My MIL always says that cold is just temporary and warm kadha can fix it easily, so no need to stop trying. Just make sure you are not taking any heavy medications. Drink hot soups, rest well, and keep things relaxed.
Even I was super anxious about getting sick when we were trying to conceive last year. Did anyone else also feel that taking simple cold medicines might affect fertilization? Honestly, it's so stressful but normal cold shouldn't stop you, just avoid heavy medicines without asking a doc.
