How much do u want this baby?How much have you tried?Even if this is yr first and succesful ivf means you have tried,your body has endured things...Anyway I struggled many times with this question,being pg in the middle of the summer,really hot and a pool at my feet,but never got in!I couldn't risk it for something that I had enjoyed care-free so many times in my life.Ask yr dr,though!

My doc says no pool until at least 13 weeks
But he prefers no at all during a high risk (IVF)  pregnancy

I would ask ur dr, but from what I hear it should be safe cause ur body would protect itself from things entering inside u to damage a potential fetus, but ask ur dr if u aren't sure, some women are advised not to bd, bathe, or swim in the 2ww, everyone is different, depends on ur circumstances, but if u want to play it safe u shouldnt at least til u ask ur dr...hope this helps
