what were your clinic's rules on sex between ER and ET. I can't find anything on my paperwork... I know if we have an ET, the answer is no until beta or heartbeat - just not sure about up until ET.
Other cycles I wasn't interested at all, but DH was out of town for so long (and things were pretty slow for awhile before that), I wouldn't mind a little action while I'm in a mental place to be interested. If we have another cancelled ET, I think it will take some time for me to rebound from that again.
ETA: I'm totally asking here because I didn't like the other answers I got and the last response to my other post was kind of judgy.
Re: I'm going to XP - ? for IVFers
My RE says no sex from ER until second u/s (around 8 weeks) if KU.
When do you hear how your embies are doing? I am sending lots of good luck your way!
TTC #2, Operative hysteroscopy March 2011; IVF #1 long lupron protocol April 2011-cancelled due to poor response; IVF #2 flare protocol May 2011=hospitalization due to abdominal hemorrhage during ER and no fert due to MFI issues. Moving onto international adoption from Moldova January 2013!
If they're not looking good, I'll hear sometime late this afternoon. Otherwise, I'll here when I go in for transfer on Wed.
We had 3 out of the 4 or 5 mature that fertilized so that is a little better than the 6/12 and 4/8 we had prev cycles.
When the RE called with the fert report he said we'd transfer 2 or "maybe all 3" and he seems to think some will/could make it. I just keep trying to remind myself that the change we made this cycle basically erases our history. It's just hard to imagine that so few embryos could actually work for US and not just other people.
Hope they keep growing and looking good. Sounds like it is going well so far! Good luck!

Fingers crossed for you!!!
We were told no sex from ER to beta... and then after that we got the go ahead but we weren't really comfortable until we had confirmation of a hb. I will say, good for you if you feel like doing it after an ER, I certainly did not feel like I wanted any thing else up there
ditto!

After 22 cycles and tube removal our IVF miracle has arrived! Detailed IF and IVF info in bio.
I don't remember the "rules", but I had the day before our ER. Good sex, too. I totally think it helped.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!
