When can I have a bath

[Joanna_]

I had egg collection Monday and due a transfer Saturday, clinic never mentioned anything about having a bath but I've read online not to. I'm desperate for a good soak what do you guys think?

Hi lovely I was told you shouldn't have a bath or swim for 2 weeks from EC and transfer, due to risk of infection.

Wishing you all the best with this cycle xx

My doctor advised me no baths or swimming for 2 weeks I also had collection on Monday x

Hello, I wasn't advised not to have a bath after egg collection or before transfer - in fact I had had baths most days leading to transfer as I was in a bit of pain after egg collection which provided some relief.

Not after transfer was the advice from my clinic

No baths after egg collection unfortunately for risk of infection. Good luck for tranfser.xx

I got told no bath or swimming for 7 days then fine

I got this text from my clinic 2 days after Tranfer!! I still haven’t been for a bath because i have seen so much stuff on here about not bathing but it must be fine if they sent me this...

We are thinking about you at the fertility clinic. Take care of yourself and try to do something today that makes you feel relaxed. Consider a warm bath, going for a walk, meditation, yoga or whatever works for you.

Yeah I guess so, I dont think i can see the harm if it's not red hot xx

I wasn’t able to have a bath until my 6 week scan ☺️ x

I'm 4dp5dt now tests are negative I just really want a bath 😂 x

Ahaha I wanted to a bath so bad, when I had one it was amazing! I think it would be a little early for it to show up on a test only being 4 days x
