Can jet lag affect success of FET?

I flew from US to UK for my FET on Tuesday (yesterday) overnight and my FET will be the following Tuesday, so a week on. Felt very sleep deprived on the day I landed and didn’t feel like I slept great the next night either so at least 2 days of feeling off and 2 nights of not great sleep.

Is this likely to affect the success of my FET?

I refuse to believe it ... There are such multitude of factors. I plan to do my IVF abroad and one gynecologist (not in the IVF clinic) says I must not fly after the transfer because of the radiation on the plane... I really refuse to believe it because it means the flight attendants would suffer infertility at much higher rates then general population.

I think stress would affect the implantion, but then again if you are young and healthy it will outweigh the risk factor of stress.

No flying will not effect implantation. People travel abroad all the time for their cycles and transfers and fly home straight after or in a few days after they have had their transfer and lots of woman still have success. If an embryo is going to implant then nothing is going to stop it from doing so. Just try to get some good rest in the mean time if you can.

Sorry also jett lag won't have effects. It might just make you tired on the day of transfer.
