DH found some studies and post stating that having intercourse the night before ET actually improves the chances of pregnancy. Any of you RE's mention anything about it? In all fairness I am game, not looking fwd to the abstinence that follows ET.

    I've heard of some ladies being prescribed TI the night before ET on a frozen cycle because it creates a more natural environment for the embryo. It's not possible on a fresh cycle though, because you're not supposed to have intercourse for at least two weeks after ER.

    ****siggy****




    We were told to have sex the night before transfer for the whole "more natural environment" thing.  It was pretty much the last thing I wanted to do, and my nurse laughed when I told her that I would "power through" :)  Good luck!

    Yup, my clinic recommends it.  It was not fun, I was still really sore from the ER.  We managed to get it done though.
