I did the shots until about 9 weeks, sex was ok for us after the first U/S when they saw that the babies where in the right spot. Ask your dr. about that though.

See they told us sex was ok 2 weeks after transfer. I know all clinics/dr's are different. My prog shots are to continue for 8 weeks total from egg retrieval.

you need to ask your RE, but as the other ladies have said, usually progesterone shots are taken for most of the 1st trimester, I was on progesterone until week # 12. My nurse said we could have sex after BFP, but we were too nervous for that. Even now, my husband is treating me almost like a little sister...not fun...but he's worried about "hurting" the baby....funny :lol: and sucks for me :shock:

Hi,

I think you may ask your doctor about sex to be save. I know IVF is long process. I just wanted to be more careful

Thanks,
