Sea swim before FET

[Hdowdall]

Hi all. I am starting meds for a min stims FET tomorrow. I am on away at a spa hotel and I am wondering if anyone can advise me whether a sea swim is ok or a no go? I will avoid the saunas/steam rooms due to the extreme heat. But would love a dip in the sea. This is the Irish sea btw so cold! Thanks.

HI. NO sea or swimming pools while trying or in early pregnanct, due to possible inhectiom. Diane

I had a similar thought about loch swimming after an FET. I was told by the consultant pools are fine. This transfer I’m staying clear of both for a while.

My clinic advises no due to infection risk xx Good luck x

if you havent actually had the FET and are only just starting meds you can have a sauna and steam room no problem! Not afterwards though once embryo is on board is when the body temp thing is important for embryo development. I would actually do them both rather than a freezing Irish sea swim tbh as the heat is meant to help circulation for your lining etc and relaxing 😌 in the lead up to transfer is a great thing to do. Sea swim- the issue is goodness knows what you could catch from it a few weeks before a transfer I probably wouldn’t do it but saying that I went in the Canarian sea in my 2WW (in July so it was a nice temp lol) and that FET was successful xx

I would avoid it.
