Spain- Instituto Bernabaeu part 7

[vrw100]

Hi loving women, I'm assuming that embryo adoption transfer is the same as FET transfer in terms of how long you need to stay after? But I'm not sure. If it is the same, then they prefer you to fly home the day after transfer, however, if you are flying on transfer day then they advise a flight late evening or later at night. I have always flown back the day after transfer and they want you to be in Spain the day before transfer, so it makes it a 3 day  stay as a minimum x

Thank you for this! I can’t believe The UK now have a 14 day quarantine when arriving back from Spain x

Noooooo, gutted! 2 week quarantine is back in place! I sadly have to say goodbye to an August cycle because I can't work from home xx

So gutting!!! This is what i’ve been anxious about. I’m lucky enough to be able to work from home and my boss knows the situation so would be fine with it...but i’m confused on how i’d quarantine. I’m planning on travelling alone but would that mean upon coming home I can’t see my husband and daughter? No idea what to do now

I’m in Ireland and we have to quarantine too. I’ve agreed with my boss to work from home, my husband will too and I’ll keep my little boy home from Creche. In terms of isolation they mean restrict your movements, wear and face mask while shopping for essentials and don’t let anyone visit your home.

You are going to be careful in Alicante just as you would at home, you won’t be going to bars or nightclubs etc.

If you can work from home go for it, your time our there is so short it’s not like it’s a two week holiday.

Just as a matter of interest where are you thinking of staying?

I stayed in the Tryp Grand Sol the last time but the have no restaurant facilities open now.

love_lucy thats good news that you can work from home at least. It means you're not completely out for this cycle. I wonder if one of the government websites would give any info on the situation with your husband and daughter? It would be pretty much impossible to isolate from other people in the same house after all. I would be inclined to think it would only be you that needed to isolate fully? Xx

[Love_Lucy]

Shoegals, that’s great you managed to sort working from home.

I think i’m going to do similar and like you said just go for it. Lockdowns and quarantines are probably going to be in for a while, i’m sure it won’t be long until we have a second wave in the UK.

Vrw100 - any chance of you being able to make August work?   

[Love_Lucy]

Just read your question shoegals, last time we need a few days at an air bnb and then moved to the Melia for the transfer days so we could relax a bit more. I think i’ll be staying at the Melia again just because it’s familiar. I’ve not checked if the restaurant there is open though xx

[vrw100]

Sadly, we can't make August work because it would mean 3 weeks annual leave for just 1 transfer. If its still the same come September then we will have little choice but to charge on down this route regardless because I feel that the chances of long term restrictions increases as we head into winter. But for August, we have to take a rain check. Its so terribly disappointing but I don't think we have any other option really xx

Hi does anyone know if they're doing testing once you land on airport in Spain? A friend said they're testing people landing and if one person tests positive then you need to quarantine in Spain for 14 days. I'm not overly concerned quarantining in UK but feels very risky to travel and take risk of having to quarantine over there.
