Hot tub before FET?

[Waterfall2]

Has anyone had a nurse/doctor tell them if it's OK to use a hot tub or sauna before FET. I am currently on progynova pills and buserelin spray and might be going for transfer in the next week. But I am going to a spa hotel this weekend and I am was hoping to use the pool and sauna. I've heard it's not a good idea if you've had transfer or are waiting egg collection but my eggs are on ice so is it safe?

Thanks.

I'm not sure to be honest. I was advised to not have a bath/go swimming for 2 weeks after transfer but wasn't told anything about before.

I was ok for swimming etc before transfer which I did regularly, pool and sea. Go and enjoy this whilst you still can.....hopefully will be a while before you can hit the spa/sauna again!xx

Thank you. Looking forward to my swim now.

Hope you find the best route for your FET. X

I use my hot tub until embro transfer but do not use after.

I always thought that the heat would be good to encourage my lining to grow.

Its also good for relaxation too.

Id go and enjoy yourself xx

Thank you. I am going to try and relax all weekend.

Good luck with your journey. Xx

I went to a spa and did saunas etc last weekend. Had my lining scan on Wed and all was perfectly fine. Think it’s nothing to worry about before transfer xx

[Waterfall2 in reply to HPLondon]

Thanks. That's good news about your lining, good luck with the rest. X

It’s fine before embryo transfer

[Lizzielizzielizzie in reply to Lizzielizzielizzie]

But if you start your progesterone pessaries then obviously that stops you swimming! 🙄

[Waterfall2 in reply to Lizzielizzielizzie]

Haha thank you, yes I've had the pleasure of the pessaries before.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, hope you are able to enjoy it a bit more now. Xx

I realise this is an old question but I trawled the internet to for what I could do on my anniversary before my FET. I had a response from my clinic today.

Q. Can I please double check on what I cannot do 2 days pre-transfer? Specifically can I go to a spa and can I have raw fish (e.g. sushi/oysters) or do I need to avoid these even before the embryo is transferred?

A. Avoid spa treatments such as hot saunas etc but everything else is okay.

Sushi etc fine prior to transfer but avoid afterwards.

Clinically it is hard to establish what you should and should not do ahead of transfer but we usually advise to treat yourself as though you are pregnant afterwards.

Hope this helps someone else!
