Can being sick with a high temperature decrease your chances of implantation?

Question

I've been sick since sunday (July 20, 7dpo). It started out with what I thought were symptoms of an allergy attack on July 19th (6dpo), but later grew into something much worse. I've been achy with a headache, and dizzy spells with a fever that comes and goes ever since then. Can this be implantation or am I just sick?

Answer 1

Some women get a mild cold after implantation, but what you're describing seems a bit worse than that. However, right now, a fertilized egg is microscopically small and probably not yet implanted. Even after implantation, the placenta take week to grow to the stage where your sickness could impact on a fetus. So, don't worry, keep up the liquids, get DH to cook you some yummy comfort food ... and good luck!
