Hi, I did in the middle of craziness , tried on 18 may, even I had a letter from the clinic, they didn’t let me fly, had to stop the treatment and start again, then I contacted the embassy of uk in Spain and they give me a letter that the spain authorities let me in .... it was a nightmare, sometimes I’m thinking that my transfer didn’t go well because of the stress I was having.... hope you will not have my problems, but I suggest you check first

Good luck xxx

Hi, I'm 5 weeks pregnant from a donor cycle in Kiev - I went there July 1st...it was an interesting trip. Got cancelled on a total of NINE flights. Frankly, after all the turmoil, we didn't expect it to work.

My only piece of advice would be, to have a Plan B, C, D and E-Z ready!🤪 Flights get cancelles with hours notice, completely out of the blue...

Hey, I was due to go to Athens end of July but now pushed back to August. Its facemasks on the planes, in the airports and random covid swabs on arrival at the airport and you have to complete a form online prior to travelling to give them details of where you're staying. If you need anything in particular just holler. Hope that helps!xxx

Thank you. Cinderella. Keep everything crossed for you. Are you going with your partner? I am going alone this time as my husband does not want to take our little one which I get but am obviously frightened of getting quarantined away from my son, but know it is a risk. Xx

I completely understand!! I guess you could get a home testing kit before you go to make sure you are ok if you wetr worried. We were just gonna chance it as the clinic checks before transfer. My hubby is going with me as we try to make a holiday of it. Thank you! All the best to you too.xx

Myself, I’m very interested to know if anyone has travelled to northern Cyprus lately for treatment?

Hopefully someone can advise. Haven’t Cyprus opened up the gate though? X

I think it has opened the border with some countries. But not with Uk unfortunately. I’m hoping they will soon in August.

We are flying to Czech tomorrow for treatment. It was a bit all over the place for a while. Different rules about tests coming and going but, at the moment, no need for testing or isolation on either end.

The added stress doesn't help though. Hope it all works out for you. X
