[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reposting this, so it doesn't get obscured by politically and emotionally charged posts (which, by the way, contribute zero to actual solution to the flying problem). Any thoughts anyone? I am planning another FET with PGS normal embryo in this exact flying scenario:

NP here - this is an interesting discussion. I lost my PGS normal pregnancy 2 weeks after a long haul flight. This was a 16-17 hrs door to door travel: I got up early at 5 am, cab ride to airport took 30 min, I flew from one local city to another on a 1 hr flight, waited at another airport to 2 hours, embarked on a long-haul 8.5 hour flight, clearing customs, picking up the luggage and driving home took another 1.5 hours. I had a jet lag for another 10 days due to time difference.
I lost my pregnancy at exactly 4 week mark.
Does anyone think there is a correlation? Examples would include high cabin pressure and just a general wear and tear of a long flight as well as jet lag. I did have someone to help with the luggage but it was still stressful.
Any thoughts?

No I do not think there is a correlation.  I miscarried at 6weeks, a few days after a domestic flight.  But my hog levels were so low that it had probably stopped growing before my trip.  I got of a few months later and got on a 22 hr plane trip (with short layover) at 4/5 weeks. I hauled large suitcases, volunteered in a refugee camp for a week, and then flew back the 22 hours.  Healthy pregnancy so far (that was 3 months ago).

There is no definitive answer to explain miscarriages in the first few weeks of pregnancy.  It just happens.  To sooo many people.[/quote]
