I had viral fever, I am slowly recovering now, my son (2-1/4-year-old) and my husband got the same from me. We are planning to have a second child. My ovulation time is around this week I hope. Is it safe to try for a child at this time? Will there be any harm to the fetus? Please let me know.
Hi, It is better to delay pregnancy for 1-2 myths after viral infections. When you have fever & are recovering you may not ovulate on right time & you don't know which fever it was. Some types of Viruses do affect baby, especially early pregnancy. Husbands semen parameters also deteriorate due to fevers. Next batch of healthy & fresh sperms will be ready only after 3 myths of fever. Both of you can have daily Tab Folic daily to improve health of EGG & Sperm. All the best Chat Doctor.
