Good morning ladies... We went to our IVF class on Tuesday and were shocked to find out that we have to stop having intercourse when I start stims in a week and can't continue until I am 6 weeks pregnant. I was also told that we need to be having protected intercourse right now.

 

Is this normal protocol for IVF? I know it seems silly but this is going to be a long cycle if I can't get my rocks off and blow of some steam.
