Johnson and Johnson vaccine booster while possibly pregnant ?

Question

So, my work is making me get the booster shot. I was hesitant to get the vaccine in general but just got it right before I started TTC not actually during it and I did that on purpose... now they are requiring us the get the booster. I am 3dpo. I'm worried about getting it pregnant especially in early pregnancy. They said we have until 2/1/2022. What would you do? I'm contemplating just getting it tomorrow so I don't have to worry about it. Or should I just wait and see if I'm pregnant or not? It's dumb because we aren't even in person, I work from home.

Answer

I would switch to Moderna or Pfizer and get the booster. I would have Tylenol on hand and make sure I didn’t spike a fever. Most employers do allow applying for an exception, but if your ob gyn supports it too (ask them!) I would definitely encourage you to do it.

Answer

There is no evidence any of the vaccines affect fertility, and you’d be more at risk catching covid - though neither of those things is going to implantation.

Answer

The choice is 100% yours. I got all 3 vaccines while pregnant. I got the first dose the day before I found out I was pregnant, the 2nd at 7 weeks and the 3rd at 38 weeks. Baby boy 2 months old now and is happy and healthy.

Answer

as someone who received the J&J vaccine i 10/19 DO NOT recommend. it’s not nearly as effective as the other two and they are actually trying to do away with j&j vaccine altogether. i’ll be boostering with moderna. 
as for the infertility claims, lol no. i got pregnant immediately following vaccination. i’ll be 30 weeks at the time of my booster.
