I just got some of my blood test results back and I am almost but not totally immune to chicken pox. So now I need to decide if I want to be immunized before continuing to try to conceive. It would be 60 days before we could try again. If anyone here has experience with this and has any advice, I would be happy to hear it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's not something I'm probably supposed to have an opinion on but vaccinate. Two months feels like a long time but herd immunity keeps your future child along with many others safe. Think of the two months versus the long life of your child.

Trust my rage
I don't understand? Is there a connection? Or they just want you to be vaccinated?
You've lived fine without it for years, right? I'm guessing the right answer is to vaccinate but in your shoes, I know that for me, 60 days would feel like eternity. You can always get vaccinated after the baby comes, right?

Stephanie, they want me to be vaccinated because of the risk of birth defects ifI were to get chicken pox while pregnant. They tested both of our blood for all types of things.

That makes sense, at least. Does 60 days feel like forever?

I talked to the nurse about it and she said it is more of a concern if I'm around kids often. I checked with H and G has been immunized, so that is not a concern. But I do spend a lot of time with my niece, who I think is too young to be immunized yet. She starts daycare next week so she may have more of a chance of being exposed to things like chicken pox.

How old is your niece?
I honestly wouldn't bother with it. If you are largely immune, your changes of a flair up are so slim that the cost/benefit doesn't work out.

You know, I personally know that I would probably blow it off. But everyone has a different situation. It seems so unlikely that you would suddenly get chicken pox after years of not but maybe it's good to be really careful? Because you never know...
Infertility totally sucks no matter what.

Plei, she was born in September, so nearly 5 months old.
