Sex!

Are you allowed to have sex during your two weeks prior to your transfer? DH wants to know (REALLY), and I keep forgetting to ask the RE's office? Anyone know?

We were just told not to between retrieval and beta. After that no "uterus bouncing" activity, per my RE's website. None of that before the beta either, of course.

My RE's office calls it 'pelvic rest', but yes, you're just fine before your FET. Have fun!

My RE said it's fine 48 hours before retrieval. And one week after transfer. But I got to go back and read the papers about the 1 week.

I specifically asked about before the FET, and my RE said no problem. However, after FET strict "pelvic rest" until Beta.
If BFP my RE says strict pelvic rest for the first 12 weeks!
......
I waited until DH was excited over BFP before I shared that tidbit

dreambaby---I am sooo upset about the 12wks. DH says I either have to think and be creative or he gets very groutchy.
