[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't it make more sense to push back TTC to the fall so that you're not pregnant during the worst of mosquito season?[/quote]
I think you want to get through early pregnancy before the virus gets here. Apparently your baby is still at risk if you've had the virus, so if you were infected this summer your yet to be conceived fetus would be at risk. Now, I don't think any of us knows quantitatively what the risks are; I'm just explaining the mentality. [/quote]

Am confused, cdc advising you wait 2 weeks after you get back from affected country before ttc.  This is from the cdc website:
" If a woman who is not pregnant is bitten by a mosquito and infected with Zika virus, will her future pregnancies be at risk?
We do not know the risk to the infant if a woman is infected with Zika virus while she is pregnant.  Zika virus usually remains in the blood of an infected person for only a few days to a week.  The virus will not cause infections in an infant that is conceived after the virus is cleared from the blood. There is currently no evidence that Zika virus infection poses a risk of birth defects in future pregnancies.  A women contemplating pregnancy, who has recently recovered from Zika virus infection, should consult her healthcare provider after recovering."

I know info keeps changing on this, do you have a source that states it stays in your system longer?

Am doing ivf, plan to be pregnant in march and can't afford to postpone.  I think fla and la will be more of a concern though[/quote]
