Has anyone flown during their 2WW?

lafayettegirl

My office needs to me fly to another state next week. I'm smack in the middle of my 2ww. I have a call into my RE just to make sure, but if anyone has gotten that okay from their RE, would you just let me know?

 Thanks!

I was asked to take a trip this week, just 2 days after my transfer, and I declined, and said I wouldn't be able to for the next 2 weeks.

I have no idea what the REs opinion is, but I didn't want the stress of dealing with business travel. Even when I'm not worried about cycling, business travel majorly stresses me out.

I can't imagine it is much of an issue since people travel for IVF treatments and typically return home for the 2ww.

My concern would be the monitoring appointments.  I swear I go the the RE 3 times a week during the 2ww for bloodwork.

I want to say you're probably fine BUT I'm not sure when dealing with IVF. Give your RE a call and see what they say...I've been calling mine like crazy since my IUI with plenty of questions (sure I'm driving them nuts). I had a massage booked for Saturday and they told me I shouldn't go (just in case) so give them a call, they'll know best:) Good luck to you!

My MFM doctor told me flying was okay as long as you:

a) stay hydrated--which means you will have to buy some overpriced water in the airport b/c the little cups they give you on the plane are not enough.

b) don't lift anything heavy--pack a rolling bag and check it (skycap is even better); make sure your carry-on is very light.

c) get up and move around once an hour during the flight to avoid blood clots. 

FWIW, I didn't fly during my 2WW/early pregnancy and it still didn't turn out well.

I never even thought about it...

I'm supposed to fly to Ireland in my 2ww and told my nurse b/c I wanted to know if I could get b/w done OOT and she was totally fine w/ it. 

I also know multiple people who've traveled to/from my clinic for IVF and fly home in the 2ww.
