Does anyone know if getting a flu shot is a bad idea when TTC? I'm scheduled to get one Nov 5th. By then I'll have either a BFP or BFN. If I get my BFP

I read somewhere that it's not good in the 2nd & 3rd trimester, but I'm not sure where I read it

I passed it up last December and again last week. I have been told by many nursed that it is not ok in the first trimester and since i was trying and did not know if I was pregnant, she advised against it. Hope that helps.

I opted not to get one either. I had heard that it's not good anytime during pg. to get a flu shot. I figured that I wouldn't know by the time I was able to get my flu shot, so this will be the first year I won't get one.
