Is it ok to go abroad after Ivf treatment?

Hi gill76. It is always a worry to know what to do for the best when flying after treatment, or early on in pregnancy. Obviously you are best guided by what your clinic recommends. However, I do speak with couples that go to the USA for treatment and travel back to the UK on the same, or next day after embryo transfer. Most have gone on to achieve their pregnancy, some don’t. Couples who go to Spain etc for donor treatment fly back very soon afterwards, unless they incorporate their treatment in a holiday. Most couples that conceive naturally do not know that they are pregnant for a month at least – loads of those are regular “fliers” too. I am sorry if I have confused you further, but if you do decide to fly and the treatment does not work this time, then you should not “beat yourself” up about the fact that you flew, as there are so many factors to consider. Hope this helps and my best wishes go with for every success. Diane
