COVID Vaccine and breastfeeding/fertility????

Question

I am on the fence about getting the vaccine. I am very scared but think it may be time for me to get it. I am 20 years old and am currently breastfeeding my 20 month old son. I am just curious to see who has gotten the vaccine and breastfed after. Also i am wanting to have another child soon but will getting the vaccine make me infertile? I can not decide which to get but would love all stories and advice that y’all are willing to give. TIA .

Answer

The CDC has now officially stated that pregnant and breastfeeding women are good to get the vaccine! It should not affect your future chances of being fertile at all.

Answer

My husband and I went with Moderna and my oldest child was able to get the Pfizer one. We have family that's gotten the 3 major ones being offered. It's been months since we were done with getting our second doses. Everyone is perfectly fine, no one but me had any reactions or even general discomforts. I'm apparently part of a small part of the adult human population that faints when they get vaccinated, any and all vaccines apparently. I don't have phobias or even mild fears of hospital/healthcare settings or procedures, it's just a reaction🤷🏽‍♀️. Three people I know have since gotten pregnant and two are pregnant and had their first doses recently with no issues at all. IF you're super concerned, talk to your obstetrician about it just in case your case is different. They know your body well enough to give you accurate guidance. Best of luck to you 🤗

Answer

The vaccine does not affect fertility.

Answer

I conceived within two months of getting the vaccine and have had a perfectly healthy pregnancy thus far. My sister got it in her third trimester, had a perfect baby girl,  and has been breastfeeding for the last 4 months. The vaccine does not impact fertility and is recommended for women ttc, pregnant, and breastfeeding.

Answer

I got the vaccine and breast fed my daughter she was 3 months old. She’s now 6 months and perfectly healthy. I’ve been fully vaccinated since April, no fertility issues either. Talk to your doctor about it. The vaccine doesn’t cause fertility issues either

Answer

The vaccine does not impact fertility. There is absolutely no evidence suggesting otherwise.
