Gosh Katia, so sorry you've had a hard time. I can't comment on handling an infection, thankfully I never had to go down that path. I did avoid crowds and sick people though.

I'm told that day 7 to day 14 you are most vulnerable. After saying that I also think that its not good to shut yourself away, you still need to get out and about. My daughter and I go for walks in the evening and I have so loved this special time with her.
Good luck with your second cycle, nurture yourself. Take care and keep us posted with your journey.
