Sex post transfer - views pls?

[AJJ123]

I’m curious about this because my clinic said sex is fine after transfer.

I’ve read on here you should abstain for three months or until test date.

I’m not particularly in the mood rn with everything going on but ... I have read it can improve success of implantation?

What are your views?

My clinic said it was a no-go! Not sure why. Good luck with the tww x

Thanks yes I think I’d be too scared it would mess up my chances xx

It’s a no go for us from our clinic. I think it’s due to infection risk and the fact that the uterus goes into spasm after orgasm xx

This is what both of my clinics have said also xx

[AJJ123 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Yea, I did wonder about that. Tbh I can’t see after all the prodding and poking that anyone would be particularly in the mood although in a few days I might feel differently - we shall see xx

Our clinics advice sheet said that we could have sex but the consultant who did the transfer advised against it until test day due to possible contractions during orgasm (so I took this to mean no other stuff either!)

In the end, I think we didn’t end up doing anything until our viability scan but more because I really wasn’t in the mood.

Good luck x

Thank you I’m glad I asked xx

My clinic didn't state this info but I would personally avoid especially in 2ww. Xx

Our clinic said it was fine and we did have sex in 2ww. It was fine, no problems however mentally it was abit torturous because I kept thinking ‘what if’ I’ve done something that’s messed it all up? In the nicest way, it really wasn’t worth it for the extra worry it brought xx

[Peggy79]

I agree with Sausage11. Our clinic said that it would be fine 48 hours after transfer. We did 6 days after but I ended up a little stressed and definitely couldn't relax and enjoy it as much as I normally would.

Our clinic said it was fine but I personally don't during 2ww I just don't feel comfortable and It just doesn't feel right. Only do what feels right for you. Good luck hope your 2WW goes smoothly I'm 4dp6dt and keeping it together ish so far!

[AJJ123 in reply to Beechnut1]

Good luck too, it’s so scary. I don’t want to do anything to upset their environment but at the same time I want a bit of normality - not right now tho.

If my little embies made their first day in my womb they will be day 4 and day 3 xx

I have no experience so can’t comment, but wanted to wish you the best of luck xx

Thank you xxx

My clinic said it was okay. I used donor egg so not sure if maybe the protocol is different for own egg. I don’t remember whether or not I had sec though after transfer

[Hidden]

I doubt it would improve implantation, I wouldn't want anything interfering with the embryos job lol

[XxjustmexX]

It was a no go the first time we did ivf , but second time they said you can as nothing been proven but we advice not to xx
