How long after having zika can I get pregnant?

Expert answer:

Still can not set securely the time the woman needs to wait to get pregnant after having zika.

If you become pregnant after one year, for example, there is no problem for the fetus. In addition, there is no minimum waiting time yet that is guaranteed to be safe.

We already talked about 2 months, but the truth is that much information is still missing on the zika virus and its relation with microencephaly so this time is considered 100% safe for the baby.

It is important to remember that the greatest risk is in the zika virus during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester of gestation.

In case there is a zika epidemic, it is best to try postpone pregnancy, until the outbreak has passed.

If you have ever had zika and want to become pregnant, talk to your gynecologist and ask questions.
