Would you go to a public outdoor swimming pool which has certain restrictions in place (i.e. limited capacity, one person per lane etc) I am DYING to go for a swim, but afraid it might be too risky...

Well, I think you answered your own question. You’d die for a swim 😆

the risk in the water is almost zero, especially if the pool is properly chlorinated. it’s airborne. the risk is from the other patrons.

the risk is from other swimmers and to a much lesser extent contact surfaces [showers and stuff]. Outdoor is much much safer than indoors.

I’m a swimmer. Our pools reopen in two weeks. I’ll be there.

- I’ll be in the outdoor pools. I’ll mitigate risk - shower at home, go early and try and avoid the crowds etc. Feels less risky than lifting weights in a sweaty [indoor] weight room.

Probably fine but avoid the locker room and showers. Bring your own towels. Make a makeshift changing stall by draping towel on 1 side of your car, parking in a view obstructed area (loadong docks, dumpsters, etc) and bringing easy-to-change clothes (maxi/caftan for ladies, basketball shorts for gents) Stick a trashbag on your seat and shower/full change at home.

Also go early in the AM when headcount is lowest

Would you jump into a bathtub with a stranger who might or might not have the Coronavirus? Do you think you might catch an infection and die?

I highly doubt it would be transmissible in an outdoor chlorinated pool where you were able to maintain a reasonable distance.

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
