Hi,
My husband has shingles. I am not pregnant but we plan on trying soon. Does anyone know if there is any risk with TTC. He is on an antiviral. Thanks.
Make sure you are immune to chicken pox before trying. He could have outbreaks and be contagious through early pregnancy (it can come and go). Its a simple blood test.
Getting chicken pox during the first half of pg could lead (VERY small chance, though) to certain birth defects.
