| My husband wants to "get busy" this weekend, but I am going through initial stages of natural cycle IVF and don't want to mess anything up. Do you think it's OK to have sex and not triggger an earlier ovulation? |

| You're not going to mess up your ovulation by having sex. However, I'm not sure if Dominion wants couples to abstain for a certain period of time prior to retrieval. So if you think you'll trigger soon, I'd check with the nurses about the timing of sex. But if you're follie is less than a 12 or 13, there shouldn't be a problem as they trigger around 15-16. |

From my experiences with Dominion, (albeit stimulated IVF) they have always tried to encourage their patients to have as 'normal' a life as possible.
Relax...have some fun. |

| This is probably too late, but there is a timeline that you should with having sex before trigger. You need to ask your Dr. |
