heating pad in ivf
Hi everyone
I had a question for fellow ivfers. Is it safe to use a heating pad on the abdomen in case I feel cramps during the 2ww? I am not sure if I will have cramps but I have read its a possibility. thanks all for any views...

Just a rumor...
...but I heard to try to minimize heat in the pelvic region. It came up as my fellow IVFers and I were posting from our laptops while taking it easy during the 2ww and someone mentioned that the heat from the laptop might affect implantation (talk about making us all paranoid!). Anyway, that's what I heard, but not from any medical source. Good luck!

You should avoid any strong heat during your 2ww-very hot showers, heating pads, etc.

I wouldn't use a heating pad but it is good to keep a regular blanket folded up on your abdomen if you are lounging on your 2ww. I did it with my 1st IVF in 2007 and have a 22 mo old son from it. I read it in the book "Fertility and Conception: Your complete guide to getting pregnant" by Zita R. West. I kept a fleece blanket folded on my stomach and another blanket over me while I was on the couch. There is a large section in the back of the book all about IVF and helpful hints on how to take care of yourself before during and after IVF. GL!!!

I would like to agree stay away from the heat, but keep your tummy warm. You need a good blood cerculation for implantation. Keep your feet warm as well.
