Flying and Travel Do’s and Don’ts during Fertility Treatments, IUI, IVF, Embryo Transfer

I did not want to travel just after transfer – preferer to take 1st blood work and back home – means about 12 days after transfer – is it OK ? what I done additionally I just asked clinic to allow me go via manual check instead of scanning my body

Hi.DR.lora.ist.in.de.clinic.in.wachntun.❤

One thing that I'd like to add to this is that IVF can be very unpredictable. In general, I don't feel like it's a good idea to travel during or immediate after your IVF cycle for the simple reason that you don't have a set schedule ahead of time. With retrieval, you don't know until each monitoring appointment whether you still need a couple of days or whether you're ready to trigger. With a modified natural transfer, you don't know if, how well, or how quickly you respond to the meds. I've once taken nearly two weeks longer than they anticipated on a transfer cycle due to lack of ovarian response. With a fully natural transfer, it can be even more tedious to track and time ovulation. Even with controlled cycles, not everyone's lining thickens appropriately at the same pace, which can prolong the time to transfer. You usually don't know your next steps until each appointment. There's nothing planned ahead because this just isn't something you CAN plan ahead. That's why trying to work travel plans into this is not very easy and can be very anxiety-producing because there are just so many variables going into this.

Hi.dr thank you so much

I've totally pushed back my trip because of my transfers 😅 but more because of the daily medications. My husband helps me with the progesterone shots. I could do them myself but it's much harder to get to the shot site. Plus times zones would totally throw off my schedule with or without an alarm 😅

Thank you so much for your insight regarding this topic! I have been wondering about this myself.
