Hey ladies. So just when we’re ready to ttc this month my husband gets a fever. He’s not eating too great either as he’s not feeling great. So my ovulation day isn’t for another 10/12 days and sure he’ll be fine by then. Is it worth skipping this month or just carry on?
Anyone conceive a boy after their husbands were sick or down with fever?
Thanks in advance ladies. Please reply! Xx

I would TTC, because you never know just how long it will take to get a BFP. FWIW, my DH was actively sick when we conceived our DS3. Mind you, I was swaying pink but not giving it my all. I have 3 boys and a DD (successful, pulled out all of the stops that time around [emoji6]). Sending tons of blue baby dust your way [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji94]

Yes,
DH and me both had the flu right before or maybe even while conceiving our DS2. I didn't know anything about swaying back then but we also had only that one attempt.
So, since you still have a few days I think it won't make a huge difference.
Good luck and blue dust! 💙

It's always up to you guys - if you'll live 1000 lifetimes of regret if you try this month and get a girl, skip the month but I personally would go for it.

I just want a the best shot. I don’t mind skipping the month if dh’s fever effects my sway. So confused. I just want someone tell me what to do?!

I understand that, but the truth is that I honestly do not know, and your priority may not be MY priority, if that makes sense. Like for me personally I have always thought conceiving in a reasonable time is important, but other people are ok with skipping months. So since I can't know what is best, and your choice may be different than mine, I have to leave the decision in your hands even if it is soooo annoying when I do that!! :)
Fevers can harm sperm, but that doesn't mean it would make you have a girl, and they don't harm sperm every time - I just honestly do not know the right thing to do here!
