Does anyone have experience with wanting to conceive after travelling to a country with Zika virus?
We are wanting to travel to Thailand for a month in November and the plan was originally to start trying when we return home in the December, however after further reading into the virus it’s obviously not a good idea.
There are SO many conflicting things online about this, originally I thought it was just a danger to pregnant women but then found out it can live in men’s sperm for months after, some places it says 6 and some places 3 .
We’re not in a position where we want to wait that much longer to try and conceive as it may also take us a while to even fall pregnant in the first place etc.
So was just wondering if anyone has been in a similar position? Or knows where I can ask a medical professional about this? As it seems some GPs in the UK are saying it isn’t actually a threat anymore. There are also antibody tests you can get, so I thought could it be an option to get one of these before trying? Or is it worth just forgetting about Thailand for now if the risk is too high
Please let me know if anyone’s been in the same position as me and if you can offer an guidance.
Thankyou x
