To go on holiday with my PIL a week before my first IVF cycle?

[figtreetaverna]

We have to give covid swabs on day 6 of the IVF cycle.

We'll be away for 5 days, in an apartment in Cornwall. Will be eating in restaurant for all (certainly most) meals.

I can't help thinking this is silly?

I should say this holiday is booked for the first week of Oct

I don’t think I’d risk it OP. It will just add to your stress levels... best of luck

Thanks.

I'm worried about letting them down. And I should have said I was nervous weeks ago.

Maybe the new furore around covid gives me that excuse to say now?

It's actually to the point where I'm wishing restrictions on mixing households come in so it doesn't have to be my fault

Hi OP,

I had IVF on 4th August and the recommendation was to self isolate for 2 weeks before treatment. I don’t know whether your clinic is saying the same?
If I were you I really wouldn’t risk going away or being near people because they will check your temperature at the clinic and ask you to do a Covid questionnaire. If your temp is over the standard they won’t commence treatment. But actually if you have to give Covid swabs you have an extra layer to get through that we didn’t. I don’t mean to worry you but if you are anything like me you will be drugged up to the eye balls and following all the procedures they ask you to do and you don’t want to fall at the last hurdle!
Best of luck to you and I hope your family is supportive.

Oh and don’t see it as being your fault. It really can’t be helped, you need to protect yourself and take sensible precautions.

You're right. I just need to let them down now.

Absolutely praying they say no mixing households! Sorry that's so selfish.
