Hi guys - for those of who you who travel to do your treatments, how long after an embryo transfer do you generally wait before flying? thanks!
IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
IVF #1 = BFN
FET #1 = BFN
FET #2 = BFN
IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!

TTC again March 2014
FET #3 - May/June 2014 - all embryos arrested before xfer - back to the drawing board...
IVF #4 - July/August 2014 beta 1 (11dp3dt) 220, beta 2 (13dp3dt) 671, beta 3 (19dp3dt) 10762

It depends upon what day you transfer.
I believe most of my friends who had 5 day transfers stayed in location in hotel on bedrest for 2 days, then flew home on the 3rd day after transfer. Embryos typically implant on Day 6-7. So they wait for that to occur (let the embies snuggle in) before they take on the stress of flying home.
If a 3 day transfer, then stay in place longer until after implantation.
Its a nice time to just be with your hubby, feet up, relaxing, just the 2 of you, quality time with no distractions. If you are successful, this will be one of the last times you have the luxury of lounging around in bed with peace and quiet with the hubby, just talking, laughing, dreaming. So take advantage of the opportunity.
Some stay even longer if they want to do sight seeing / touring in the location. Since you are in a new place anyway, several friends took the chance to explore the city.
I don't travel for treatment, but I checked the information sheet my clinic gave me it states :
- We recommend travel 48 hours after embryo transfer
Me = 39 DH = 50 TTC (since 01/2009 after a short break, I stopped counting *cycles* in 2010)
DX 2010 : Unknown Infertility , AMA
HSG 2005 = Normal / HSG 2010 = Normal
SA 2005 = Normal / SA 2010 /2012 = Slightly low count : motility, morphology GREAT!
Chromosomal analysis, MTHFR, ANA's, Lupus, Protein C, Protein S, APCR = Normal 2011
M/C : 2005 (7wk), 2010 (6wk), 2011 (7wk)
8 IUI's 2010-2011 all BFN
IVF/ICSI antagonist 01/2012 #1 = BFN
IVF/ICSI antagonist long 06/2012 #2 = BFN
IVF/ICSI/CGH MDLF New Clinic/New RE 11/2012 #3 = One beautiful boy blasty frozen PGS normal
IVF/ICSI/CGH MDLF 02/2013 #4 = One more beautiful boy blasty frozen PGS normal
FET 6/20 : One 5AA PGS normal transferred Beta 1 6/28 = 53.9 / Beta 2 7/1 = 220 / Beta 3 7/3 = 550!
1 U/S 6w3d - Heartbeat 119 / 2 U/S - 7w5d- Heartbeat 169 / 3 U/S (OB) 8w5d - Heartbeat still great!
