If there are no persistent symptoms such as insomnia, cough, etc., you can wait about 4 to 8 weeks after having negative results for COVID-19 to get pregnant.
In January 2022, I was infected with COVID-19 and recovered, now my husband and I want to have a baby but are afraid that our health is not guaranteed to get pregnant. Doctor, how long after getting COVID-19 should I get pregnant? (Thanh Tam, 28 years old, Ha Dong, Hanoi).
Answer:
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a virus that causes respiratory illness with mild to severe symptoms.
People with the virus may only have a headache, runny nose, cough, hoarseness, low fever… but there are also many people with more severe symptoms such as loss of taste, loss of smell, insomnia, blood clotting disorders, etc. difficulty breathing, even progressing to pneumonia can cause respiratory failure, multi-organ failure.
In fact, many patients have died from this virus. However, to date, there have been no studies showing that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can cause birth defects.
Therefore, how long after a person infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus can become pregnant depends greatly on the person’s condition after being infected with COVID-19. When pregnant for 9 months, a woman can experience many health-related problems, so the body needs to be prepared for the best health before pregnancy.
How long this preparation period is will depend on the results of the post-COVID-19 health assessment of the woman. If there are no severe symptoms and persistent symptoms such as insomnia, cough, etc., the patient can wait about 4 to 8 weeks after testing negative for COVID-19 to get pregnant.
If the symptoms of COVID-19 are severe or persist, a woman should wait until her health is fully recovered before becoming pregnant.
