Flying

Hi All,

Wondering if flying soon after embryo transfer is something that can be done??

We would like to go abroad on holiday but due to timings etc it looks like our only shot would be a couple of days after ET. What are your thoughts on this??

This would be our second (and final free) fresh round as first failed with none to freeze. I've no idea what's best!

No problem at all. Lots of people go abroad for ivf treatment and then fly home. It's great that you will be able to go on holiday and relax after transfer. Just be careful of hot baths etc. Good luck and enjoy xx

I flew the day after egg transfer for both the failed and successful cycle. Dr from failed cycle was over cautious and wrote me a letter to pass through the security screen without going through the screening caz he scared me that the radiation would shrivel and kill the embryo. The second clinic from the successiful transfer did not have such reservations and did not think the scan posed any particular health risk to the embryos

Hiya. I am currently awaiting collection and transfer in Greece.i asked my doctor when I can travel to the UK after transfer and she said we can even travel on the same day if we wanted. The clinic recommend a day or so just for rest and as a precaution. She said I had to decide what was best for my body but in terms of safety it’s not a problem to fly on the same day. Hope that helps

Mainly cost and because I found two clinics in Greece that spoke to me like a person with feelings instead of just give me a sales pitch. I had one consultation with a Spanish private clinic based in London and it was awful. The consultant showed no emotion and gave me a sales pitch for PGS. Then she handed me a price list and told me to come back after we had update blood tests done. I paid 250 pounds for that pleasure.

Hi, I heard flying back day after maybe better as it's worked for a few people I know. I've flown back on day 3 twice and had a bff. So good luck xx

Thanks, it would be for a holiday so if we were going it would be soon after ET. Although now I'm wondering about holiday insurance?? Xx

I think you just need to be careful where your traveling and not to be having the local water, ice and salad depending on your destination

Best of luck!!

Rainbowbright1 profile image
Rainbowbright1 in reply toBiala

I think it's more to do with it being washed in local water if you are abroad than anything else! Xx

Emmad781 in reply toRainbowbright1

Yes sorry that’s all I ment..the food being washed in local water but cooked veg is fine

Rainbowbright1 in reply toEmmad781
