Waiting to try:Archie- urgent !

2005-08-05

Name: TC Hi Archie,

Just read your response 2 \";curious\"; regarding immunization and conception- My problem is somewhat similar....I recently received the shots for MMR, DT and got a TB test done(about 15 days back). We are actively trying for a baby these days...what if I conceive this month ?? Will it have any adverse effects on me or my baby ?? I am really worried now... I wish I had known earlier ...but the physician who gave the shots did not say anything about it. I was told 2 fill up a form where it asked me if I were pregnant and I wrote \";no\";.

What should I do now ? I read somewhere on the web that it is advisable 2 wait for 1 month after taking shots...but u asked 2 wait for 2 months.

Archie- need your views on this .

God bless you.

Check with the doc

Hi

I dont think anyone of us here are qualified here to give u that kind of advise.. please check with a doc immediately... i took MMR pre-conception and waited for 6 months to be absolutely sure... BUT CHECK WITH A DOC !

vaccines

hi TC..

MMR - is a \";live virus\"; vaccine; its generally best to avoid ttc for 2 cycles like what archie suggested;

other vaccines made from toxoids / chem-altered proteins from bacterium etc are not unsafe;

its prob best that u have taken ur shot b4 pgnancy, so u can rule out u & ur baby catching the rubella later;

good luck anyways..
krsna

PS: also (this might vex u), but its our prerogative to ask the right questions so we dont face sticky situations later; my doc urges me to do my homework b4 i step into her office;

TC,
I like to play safe before entering in problem. This is why I told curious to hold on 2 cycles if she gets immunized.

In some cases the immunization has impact on early stages of conception /pregnancy therefore this suggestion.

After a month of wait it should be OK but why to leave any cause to worry therefore it's best to wait for 2 cycles. Remember each Dr. vary in their practice and we have to believe in our own gut feelings or someones experience.

I know curious has done great ground work and I would not want that to get ruined therefore suggest to wait for one more cycle.

if you know you can't try for one cycle following immunization, why are you trying now. YOu should have wait for a complete cycle and try in next. Althoug I would recommend 2 cycle wait let your body come back to basal level of immune activity.

I understand now......but

Hi Archie,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I think I didn't explain my problem well- see now I know that its better to wait after getting shots, but my problem is that we didn't know earlier about it. And as I said in my last post that we have been actively trying, so the possibility of pregnancy can not be ruled out, therefore I am a little worried about the outcome- what if I conceive now? If I don't ...then I will make sure 2 wait for 1 month. I am also of the opinion that its better 2 be safe than sorry.

All I wanted 2 know if a woman concieves immediately after getting shots( assuming she had no idea)- then what adverse effects can it have on the baby ?
