I know the two are probably not related (the plane and the heartbeat) but if your going to be really stressed and upset about it, its not going to be any fun. I am a bit of a worrier myself and I would have a really hard time getting on that plane. Thats just my opinion, I don't want to make the decision harder for you, but I also don't want to see you stressed out over the holidays!tishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652109105463448687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-89347662837151276492010-11-18T07:00:16.262-06:002010-11-18T07:00:16.262-06:00wow, can you loan out your MIL she sounds amazing?...wow, can you loan out your MIL she sounds amazing?

I am glad the hysteroscopy went well. Check that box off!! I hope you get helpful info from Dr Sher tomorrow...what is it about IVF that makes us feel like one armed jugglers? Especially with balancing regular life....like travel & holidays. I have heard both schools of thought on flying. My acupuncturist was the most against it.(it ended up being moot as I couldn't fly as I was miscarrying anyway that day). I would not rule out the positive impact of being with family at the holidays on you. <br /><br /> Did you also know that you need to keep your feet nice & warm as there are points on the foot that impact pregnancy? So, wear sock my dear!!!Scottie Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343828486454034541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-39052432883929963462010-11-18T05:28:05.235-06:002010-11-18T05:28:05.235-06:00I am interested to see what your dr. says about th...I am interested to see what your dr. says about the NK cells.

And your MIL is really fantastic, reading about your conversation nearly brought tears to my eyes. And you know, when I did the immune testing, the results to me and the nurse looked normal too, but it was only when I had a consult with the doctor after a failed FET that he said those results were definitely borderline and that to be on the safe side he recommended the steroids and intralipid. And I may have told you this before but there may be a correlation between activated immune system and ectopic pregnancies (as if the embryo is looking for the least aggressive place). So I'm delighted your doctor is taking this seriously. <br />As for flying, I know sweetie that this makes you uneasy given the past experience, I've been through the same also. It seemed that if I ever had a trip planned a couple of weeks after a transfer, the outcome was always terrible. So I stopped booking trips. But this last time I just went with the flow and got on with my life, and it happened that I went on holidays 4 days after the BFP! Big hugs to you my friend, you are in great hands.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717020378275616297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-48056374825945981012010-11-17T23:30:43.994-06:002010-11-17T23:30:43.994-06:00So much to think about at once, Alex!

I would expect that you could incorporate Dr. Sher's recommendations into local treatment.<br /><br />I agree with others -- if you're nervous about flying, maybe don't do it.<br /><br />Sending good thoughts your way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-48485139981473447202010-11-17T22:23:01.580-06:002010-11-17T22:23:01.580-06:00Just sending hugs.

Having said that though, I was nervous about it and you have to do what makes you most comfortable - because this IVF is going to be a success!Mel.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17095162408557764223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073547614166371090.post-51307839961584676092010-11-17T18:21:24.537-06:002010-11-17T18:21:24.537-06:00Your MIL sounds wonderful!

You will either be recovering from a BFN (which I doubt) or pregnant and scared about flying (whether or not it's okay, I'm not sure, but if something happened you might always question yourself).<br /><br />Just my thoughts :)<br /><br />Excited for you!ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150067629614839175noreply@blogger.com
