Infertility

Travelling during the 2ww

Has anyone had any advice from their RE regarding if it is ok to travel during the 2ww?  I am thinking of either flying home for a quick visit with my family (bout an hour flight) or driving about 9hrs.  I think it should be ok right?

  • I think it's a great way to fill your time during the wait.  I haven't heard of anything otherwise.  Have Fun!

  • I am doing the same! I feel good about it...6 hrs in the car and the hubs is doing the driving. He says it will keep me out of trouble if I am confined to a car! Haha! Good luck! It will be a great distraction!

    I think that should be fine.  People do IVF out of state and will fly home after the transfer.  You could ask your doctor too.

     

     

    This exactly!  Have a great time!

    Me = LPD + cancer survivor, DH = low count and morphology
    IUIs #1-5, January 2011 - June 2011 = BFN

  • My RE has said that traveling is fine (and flying 'can't really mess it up').  I traveled for work during my 2ww.

    -------------------------
    TTC Since 10/2007 with no luck and a 'go with the flow' attitude
    1/1010 FINALLY decided to have testing done, dx MFI
    7/2010 - DH starts Clomid to increase testosterone and hopefully sperm count
    10/2010 - Still low (but improved) sperm count.
    11/30/10 - IUI #1 and only = BFN
    February 2011 - IVF #1 w/ ICSI =
    Chemical PG (Beta 1: 10, Beta 2: 19, Beta 3: 17) :-(
    April 2011 - IVF #2 w/ ICSI = BFN :-(
    September 2011 - IVF #3 w/ ICSI = BFFN
    November 2011 - AMH level tested - .83 (normal for age range)
    February 2012 - IVF #4 w/ ICSI = (best response ever yet still) BFFN
    April 2012 - DNA testing - NORMAL, RE suggests cycling again with own eggs or using DE
    On Break indefinitely...not sure we can afford the emotional and financial roller coaster anymore.

  • Haven't heard anything opposing this.  Travelling is part of my work.

    Plus it makes the 2ww go by faster.  Anything to keep the mind busy, right? 

    Safe travels & GL!
