dumb question re: post embryo transfer with ivf

We are about to start the IVF process for the first time, we'll start injectables Monday after having been on BCP. We expect to retrieve the eggs the week of the 10th (early) and then transfer them back a few days later. My question is what type of doctor appointments/ monitoring occur during the 2ww? I think it would be good for my brain to get out of town for a few days, but dont know what the protocol is for monitoring, will I need to go in often? Not at all for 2weeks? when is the beta test done?

Sorry for the newbie questions, I called my ivf nurse yesterday but never got a call back (which is a whole other story).

thanks

Re: dumb question re: post embryo transfer with ivf

It really depends on your RE. Some like you to come in for luteal bloods (to check estrogen and progesterone levels) and some don't.

My current clinic likes you to come in twice during the 2ww, but I never do

Re: dumb question re: post embryo transfer with ivf

My RE has never asked me to come in during the 2WW...they only want you to come in if you get AF before your beta.
Double check with your RE, but it will probably be okay for you to take a few days off.

Re: dumb question re: post embryo transfer with ivf

My doctor didn't see me at all during the 2 weeks between transfer and beta test. Then I started going every other day.

Good luck.

After the transfer I didn't have to go in until my beta test.
