Travel during 2ww

[Smang]

Hi everyone,

I’m gearing up try again and my husband suggested we go on a holiday during the 2ww, to try and be calm and relaxed this time around. I think it’s a great idea, because I think I was constantly symptom watching and just stressed. But do you think it would be okay to take a flight?

We will already by in Athens for the transfer, but thinking of going else where the day after transfer, as we have been there twice now.

Hi Smang that does sound like a nice idea, I took a short flight on our first icsi and it was fine. Would you consider going to one of the islands? Am sure they'd be lovely for some R&R xx

That’s what we were thinking. I was just worried about incorporating two flights into the mix. But I think we will go for it xx

That sounds like a really lovely idea, makes sense to head on to somewhere relaxing when you’ll be in Athens anyway. Xx

That’s what we were thinking and just wanted to put our phones etc away and just try and enjoy ourselves during the 2ww

Hi,

I think a holiday/short break is just the key. We had our treatment about an hour flight from Athens we spent a few days relaxing there, nice fresh air, walks along the sea front, lovely food we even spent a day/ night in Athen before we headed home (which was an 8 hour flight) I personally think this made the 2WW easier and a lot quicker for me.

I am now 18 weeks pregnant I cant say this was the reason but it certainly didn’t do me any harm.

Wishing you all the best

xx

Thanks for sharing your experience, I think we will go for it. I want to be relaxed this time around and not symptom watching. xx
