I'm going to XP - ? for IVFers

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.

  • 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!

    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.

  • My RE said sex was fine starting the day after ER up until ET.  After that, nothing until we saw a HB.  That is great news about your embies Gidge!!  I'm keeping everything crossed that they continue to thrive!!!  Keep us posted.

  • 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 Stick out tongue
