Amusement park after IUI

SweetieD21 · August 2010

My IUI will most likely be next Wed or Thurs, but we also have plans to go to an amusement park with some friends one day next week. Do you think I shouldn't ride most of the rides if we go after my IUI (day of or few days after)? I realize this question sounds completely stupid, so I apologize. Embarrassed

Not a stupid question. DH and I were having this conversation because we have concert tickets...low key concert...for the same night as my transfer...and I have decided not to go. My main reason for this is because if the transfer doesn't work I will always blame myself that it had to do with going out and not relaxing after.

So...I guess you need to think about it that way. If the IUI doesn't work are you going to blame going to the amusement park and going on rides as the reason why it didn't work and always wonder "what if"?

this probably doesn't help at all but I guess some food for thought.

heck after everything we've all been through i don't think it's a stupid question at all. i was also worried about this so i scheduled our trip to the amusment park for earlier this week before i O'd. of course i still haven't O'd but i was afraid to go after I O'd.

can you go early in the week next week before IUI? you can always use the excuse like the parks may not be as crowded earlier in the week.

i know it may seem silly but i think we're allowed to feel this way now. Wink

No silly at all. DH and I are planning to go to a huge water park in the next couple weeks. While its not coasters, the water rides are very similiar.

I worried about it too. I'm hoping to go before I would have implanted....for no particular reason. I just think if its before it implants, its just floating around in there anyways, so what can I hurt? I know there's no truth behind it, but its what would make me feel better I guess.

A year ago I would have said "go go go! What can it hurt?" But now? I'd have the same reservations. Not that I think it could actually hurt, but I agree with the pp'er - if the IUI didn't work, I'd always blame myself and think it was linked to the rides.

Go on the rides. Have fun and enjoy yourself. Sperm won't "fall out" once they are placed in the ute- they know what to do...

This.

But if you want to be on the safe side, pick lots of upside down rides. Or twisty-turny ones so you can benefit from the centrifugal/centrepital forces. Wink

BUT, will you blame this if the IUI is a bust? If so, I'd go and stay on the tamer rides. Guilt can be a real pisser.

I would probably not want to go the day of, but I wouldn't be worried if it was in the days after.

Thank you all for your honest and supportive answers!

The only thing my RE said afterwards is try to remain calm and stress-free for a few days after and I would probably go, in my opinion..................however, I feel as though if you have reservations about it then maybe you're better off putting the amusement park off for a day!

GL next week and I hope this IUI does the trick!!

I think the other ladies have had good advice. I assume things are pretty well protected inside this early on but you should do what your gut tells you. It sucks how TTC intereferes with life. I'd gladly give this stuff up if I KNEW I was pg but the just in case part drives me crazy.

I would ask the doctor about this. My friend that had a IVF last month was not allowed to do much of anything, so not sure if the same precautions apply. Also consider your stress level. Are you going to enjoy yourself if you do go to the park worrying. You can always go, enjoy the great company, food and shows.
