Flying after d&e at 20 weeks?

Logistical Help Needed

Hi all. I'm sadly in the limbo of waiting for the karyotype to come back from our amniocentesis, but our FISH was positive for mosaic turners. My husband and I are still discussing because the ultrasounds are completely clear and if we hadn't done the NIPT because of my age (38) we wouldn't have known. I know it's better to be informed, and there are results that if they show up in the karyotype (ring structures), we will definitely proceed with TMFR.

​

However, my timeline is difficult as we likely won't get our results until early next week. So I'm planning to schedule the appointment for the day after and I can cancel if we change our minds. However, I need to fly two days later for a family event. I know I will likely feel like trash, but was anyone told they can't fly two days later? Did anyone travel? I think being with my family will be a great distraction after, but I can't ask a doctor until the appointment. If it's really necessary, I can take the train, but it would turn a 2 hour trip into an 8-10 hour one. Thank you for any insight.
