Ivf during Covid?

[elsiegoggings]

A bit of a WWYD post. I'm desperate to do FET for a second child but Covid has caused us to delay for over a year now. We were all set to start this Jan coming, but the clinic suggested it might be less stressful if we wait until the winter is over. My husband has announced he's travelling to China with work in March/April so realistically it'd be May until we could start treatment. My son is 4 and I am 40 and I'm so running out of patience! It feels like we just delay over and over again.
WWYD? Thanks! 😍

No. I didn't and had a transfer within 2 weeks of the clinics reopening during the last lockdown (so June time)

There is never a right time but I didn't want to be any older either

Im having twins and yes treatment was a bit different with not allowing partners in and extra precautions and pregnancy care and obviously pre and post natal care will be different it hasn't been that bad

I’ve done 3 rounds of ivf during covid including one in a different country travelling from a country in lockdown to another country in lockdown. It’s been not ideal but it’s fine. I am not delaying as who knows how long it’ll take to get pregnant.

I wouldn't delay (except if the clinic do), I did have some treatment but other non-covid complications put a spanner in the works but as soon as they are resolved I'll resume.

If it's a FET why does your husband's travel matter, or is it that you want him there for support? Bear in mind he probably won't be allowed in to appointments but yes I can see why you might want him around for results.
Will he be away for the whole time? Have you got a plan for his quarantine? If he catches covid while travelling that could be a pain in terms of disrupting your cycle.
Good luck with the decision, you will know what feels right.

Congrats on the twins!

I'd need him there as well already have a little boy from our first IVF attempt, so he needs looking after. My husband also needs to have blood tests done at the start.
