  I was asked to take a trip this week, just 2 days after my transfer, and I declined, and said I wouldn't be able to for the next 2 weeks.

  I have no idea what the REs opinion is, but I didn't want the stress of dealing with business travel. Even when I'm not worried about cycling, business travel majorly stresses me out. 

  Married 08.06
  Started TTC 05.08
  Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH
  DH: perfect
  1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p
  2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
  
  
  
  1 FET in Aug 2013 = BFP!

  I can't imagine it is much of an issue since people travel for IVF treatments and typically return home for the 2ww.

  My concern would be the monitoring appointments.  I swear I go the the RE 3 times a week during the 2ww for bloodwork.

  I want to say you're probably fine BUT I'm not sure when dealing with IVF. Give your RE a call and see what they say...I've been calling mine like crazy since my IUI with plenty of questions (sure I'm driving them nuts). I had a massage booked for Saturday and they told me I shouldn't go (just in case) so give them a call, they'll know best:) Good luck to you!

  TTC 12/2009
  Me: 32 - Stage II Endo / DH: 36 - Low count and morphology (1%)
  IUIs 1-3 BFN, lap Dec. 2010, IUIs 4-6 BFN
  IVF w/ICSI #1 - ER 2/8: 24R 19M 9F ET 2/13 2-5 day blasts (no frosties) = BFP - b/g twins!

  My MFM doctor told me flying was okay as long as you:

  a) stay hydrated--which means you will have to buy some overpriced water in the airport b/c the little cups they give you on the plane are not enough.

  b) don't lift anything heavy--pack a rolling bag and check it (skycap is even better); make sure your carry-on is very light.

  c) get up and move around once an hour during the flight to avoid blood clots. 

  FWIW, I didn't fly during my 2WW/early pregnancy and it still didn't turn out well.
