We had a trip planned but cancelled it. Ours was totally personal preference. RE said it was fine to go as long as I rested.

Wow...I wish I was going to Punta Cana! Traceling/flying is totally fine. It wouldn't affect you geting pregnant or not. Flying when you are pregnant is usually discouraged if you are in your third trimester or in a high air pressure plane like a helicopter. My suggestion to you is no drinking and definitely definitely definitely call your doctor for approval on taking any pills, especially for Malahria!! Have fun!!!

I can't imagine that flying would be a problem but I agree with GMLAH that you shoudl check with someone before taking anything. Have a great time!! I hope you come back with a tan and a BFP!!

I have had my 2ww always fall on our summer vacation and have flown each time no problems, the Maleria meds not sure about check with the RE about that.
Make sure you get a note for your meds/needles you are carrying on the flight if you are doing shots just in case security stops you.

Why are you drinking pills for Malahria?

I agree with the others about the flying, but call RE about the meds for malaria. I hope you have a safe and fun trip!!!

I think it would be grea for you to relax. However PLEASE call your RE..my firend was told under NO CIRCUMSTANCE to get pregnant within 6 mos after her maleria pills. So please I urge you to check before deciding!

I travel with my job and my RE said absolutley not during my 2ww should I fly. Now I don't know if it would have affected my changes of implantation, but I wasn't about to risk it. I'm glad I didn't cuz as it turned out, I was PG.

You are absolutely fine to travel during your 2WW. As for the malaria pills, I would deffinitely talk to your RE and you can also call your local CDC to find out more. Also ask about the malaria pill such as is this a high malaria area, is there a malaria season...who knows you might not need it.

Hello ladies, thank you all for your replies. Sorry I haven't responded earlier, my computer was down. I have met with my RE and a high risk OB since my post. They state flying will not affect implantation or cause a M/C.Later in pregnancy like 3rd trimester is when there is concern and the concern is for blood clots because your circulatory system is already stressed and risk of premature labour(no increased risk in 1st trimester)As for the anti-malaria medication it is ok to take.It is not an "active" vaccine. An active vaccine is like Hep A and B where the actually inject you with a very small amount of Hep A and B so your body can safely create antibodies to fight larger amounts off in the future. The drug is actually also used for rheumatoid arthritis.It won't affect achieving pregnancy, however if i do become pregnant it is not optimal to continue taking this medication as it has a possibility of crossing the placenta.Even then being on it for a short period of time is not harmfull.Punta Cana has high incidence of malaria.Catching malaria would be a major problem all around. It can also stay dormant in your body and attack periodically throughout your life(very rare). Just thought you would all like to know.Sorry it's so long.
