Hello ladies

As I am supposed to start IVF stim mid June... and it is my 3rd IVF cycle I am terrified of it getting cancelled due to any small or big symptoms that my husband might bring to home as he is the only one going to work.

I disinfect grocery shopping and door knobs and clothes and everything like crazy. Trying to prevent anything coming in . we wear masks and gloves when shopping. And minimize it to 1 or 2 times a month. I visit my mom and see her from the driveway.

What were your precautions and rules during IVF and covid ?

His siblings and mom and their families and cousins they are mixing and visiting each and their kids playing with each other like crazy. His mom goes the her daughter's family. Her daughter's family visit her in laws and cousins and their kids play with each other . Also my mom in law mixing with her brothers family kids and grand kids and their daughter in law sister . It is insane the mixing. .. And I obviously strongly disagree with that and have been preventing him or us from going in and contacting and touching anyone.

We go together and we stand outside in the driveway far. I always discuss this with him that what they are doing is so wrong and he was like we cannot control them. And I was like I am fine with that as long as it is far from us and me.

But today his sibling ask him to go help with yard work outside. And he goes because he is saying it is outside and I will be careful and I ask him to wear a mask around them just like he does when he is at work around other people and he says I am not gonna wear a mask. At this point I am thinking at this point I dont want to control their lifestyle and choices but now it is at a point where it could affect me . And I cannot go there with him while working and stand over his head to make sure there is no contact.

I cannot handle going through a 3rd IVF and getting cancelled because of other peoples ignorance and stupidity. And I dont trust that he will be careful as I am or if his nephew runs to him to hug that he wont hug him !

What would you do guys. I am thinking of isolating from my husband at home to be safe and not get cancel. Am I overdoing it ?

What were your rules and lifestyle while doing IVF during covid

P.s. we are paying completely out of pocket for this ivf round
