Aarrrgh. Woke up this morning with a cold

And there is no upside here. I am in my 2ww so I don't know if that might affect implantation if I did catch that egg. If I'm not pregnant i'm too far away from O for it to be a pink sway tactic. So I'm just feeling like crap and miserable. Just needed to vent!

I don't think it would hurt implantation at all. Although it's a bummer you have a cold. We are just getting over one here at my house too, I felt like yuk for a solid 10 days, in august with no AC. Ya it wasn't pleasant.

Being sick can theoretically help implantation.

Really maidentomother? I didnt know that. Good to know.

[maidentomother]

Yup. Since the immune system can be overactive and attack the zygote or prevent it from implanting, suppressing the immune system can be a good thing.

If you're healthy enough to ovulate then your body will usually allow implantation. Sickness might delay or prevent ovulation, but not implantation.

You never know, I think sometimes you're fighting it off for a few days before you finally come down with it.
