Ha! I'm in the exact same boat! TTC, and I've declined every year but I know my OB will insist on it during pregnancy. I say do it sooner rather than later and here is my reasoning: 1. It takes 2-3 weeks for the immunity to build in your system, so better now than in the heat of flu-season. 2, if worse comes to worse and you get the dreaded 'flu-like-symptoms' reaction, at least it will be now and you won't have it in the throes of first trimester morning sickness and exhaustion.

I think you're charting.. correct? Just keep in mind that there's a small chance it could affect your temps for a short period of time.

@Littlebit: I'd get it now! The flu shot won't actually cause you to get the flu (it's an inactive virus). Might as well take advantage while it's free!

I would get it now. My office gave them out for free last October and I got one. I also got pregnant in November

I got mine right before I conceived. I get them every year, pregnant or not.

A little advice please!
Tomorrow they are doing free flu shots at work and I was just going to do it. However, the form I need to fill out asks if you are pregnant or might be pregnant. It also says if you answer YES you should talk to your physician first. (As in they won't give it to you).

I will be 8dpo tomorrow. I change my mind hourly about whether I think this cycle is "the one."

So, should I:
a) check the NO box and get the shot
b) call my doc and ask him
c) skip the shot this time and get it later
d) POAS tomorrow morning and then decide (not that this is likely to tell me anything new since it is still so early...)

@Mrs.Someone: thanks for the advice! I think that's what I'll do.
