Hi Raz_87 as far as I know you're not supposed to have a bath after EC in case of infection. Not sure about after ET, maybe ask tomorrow in the clinic? Hope it goes well tomorrow x

I agree with this. It’s to do with the way they collect the eggs so you shouldn’t have a bath after EC for at least two weeks, or you could get an infection.

Maybe have a nice shower to be on the safe side?? Not sure exactly what the guidance is before ET but I’ve never chanced one after ET or during two week wait. Mind you on flyer from clinic today it states there is no reason why you cannot have a bath on day of ET!?
