Fever & Food Posioning day of IUI- will it hurt conception?

[rae829]

Hi Ladies,
I ovulated and had an IUI last Friday, April 14th, and after had lunch. Well the next morning I woke up with food poisoning and all the fun that comes with it, including a fever of 100.1 and body aches. Talk about bad timing. Luckily it lasted 24 hours, but now I nervous that the food poisoning and fever may have hurt the chances of conception. Anyone get sick during an IUI or ovulation with a stomach virus or really sick with a fever and still get BFP?

Nervous this may have hurt my shot this month.

Thanks ladies!

I sincerely doubt it will effect fertilization of the egg or the traveling of dividing cells. getting sick before expected ovulation is worse as it can delay ovulation or stop it all together.Sick after ovulation, unless it involves alot of fever of 102+ isn't likely to harm the cells on their journey to the uterus.
