Just found out we have a death in the family and will need to travel cross country for the funeral. I’m on day 4 of clomid for IUI and worried we’re going to have to miss our window for the month. Is it just what it is, or has anyone dealt with travel issues during IUI?

Sorry for your loss 😞 I was traveling for work during an IUI cycle and was going to be away for the prime days where I thought I’d be ovulating. I thought for sure the clinic would say to forego the cycle, but they actually wanted to do everything they could to make it work. They had me keep coming in on the scheduled days and wanted me in for monitoring the morning I got back. I ended up bailing on the cycle after taking clomid only because I decided I really needed a break (it was my third cycle in a row) and took the travel as a sign to just relax for a few weeks. I’d talk to your clinic though - hopefully they’re willing to try to work with you given the extenuating circumstances. Good luck!

I was traveling but went to shady grove. I live in dc but was able to go to a shady grove clinic in Atlanta. Try to see if they have sister locations.

Also, figure out the exact timing for when you need to go in and induce etc, then maybe you can schedule your flights around it. If you’ve already started it sucks to start over and wait another month.

Thank you both!

Honestly, I wouldn’t travel for the funeral and would prioritize my family planning.

I talked to my brother (a doctor) about waiting for IUI because the due date would fall the weekend of our sister’s wedding - he firmly encouraged me to proceed with our family plans because that’s most important and I’m old enough (37) that I don’t have time to wait anymore. I was surprised but our mom shared the sentiment - prioritize pregnancy above all else. You may be younger and have more time, but I would personally cancel everything for a cycle at this stage.

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time. I’ve done a ton of research and the derm I’m most interested in going to charges a $150 consult fee but does NOT apply that cost to any treatments you get, whereas from my research it seems like derms in my city usually do apply the consult fee to the treatments. Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?

I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?
