There is a flyer in the elevator going up to my IF Clinic that says it is safe to get a flu shot while pregnant and TTC.

Thanks!

I know if there's any chance you are pregnant you should get it from your doctor, not a free clinic or a pharmacy... it's a different concoction in the vaccine that's safer for pregnant women... when my sister got her shot last year while pregnant, the pharmacy wouldn't do it and sent her to her doctor for that reason.

Yep flu shots all around.

My husband and I both got them from a pharmacist, with my doctor's permission, while going through IF treatments. The doctor just said not to do the nasal vaccine--shot only.

I think the danger lies in actually getting the flu, so they want to prevent that. But it may not hurt to run it by your nurse. Hope this helps :)

I am about to start IVF and asked my nurse the same question. She said it was fine :)

well, i'll just add another "YEPPERS' to this but that's what I was told in the past!
