Morning everyone! All relatively quiet here, uneventful night with DPuppy, little whimpers but DDog told her nighttime is quiet time & no accidents though I limited sleep despite clocks changing (if babies are like this my 2 dogs have been a breeze!) she's already weeing outside, feeling rather smug except she is pretty whingey the rest of the time but it's still only 24hours!!
filip 💩💩💩 bags for you on the BFN. For FET it depends on the clinic & how 'easy' your natural was, ours can be a month after. Then if FER fails, a month off then go again. Big hugs. I overall agree with hardy that basically what we do has little impact on whether an embryo sticks or not, just like each month of TTC you won't ALWAYS get pregnant. But Push on the progesterone, we have been told we have to have a progesterone blood test the day before transfer as our clinic won't transfer if your progesterone is less than 30 (or unless v close) as they think (not sure what this is based on, I need to ask) that lower than that is an environment that is not conducive to receiving an embryo so it "would waste" an embryo below that level. They actually cancel the whole thing & start a new cycle. Which is rubbish & scary as hell but there must be something in it.
dbear our clinic says lining has to be 8-10mm on a scan the week before a FET is meant to be, then they introduce tablets to take it thicker the last week but don't usually scan right before as long as it is 8-10mm the week before (but this is for FET). Our FET has been put back as my friends lining was 5.5mm on the scan so we had another scan then 7.8 now have another scan on Monday where it should be ok then the pessaries have to be introduced for a week but as long as it's over the 8-10 on Monday they won't scan the week before.
I've said to my friend though, no matter what we do, it could all look great, she's had 2 easy pregnancies before so we know she can get pregnant and yet the embryos might not thaw well, might not hatch, might not implant, might not be good enough, it just might not work at all and we might never know why & that's why IVF is so hard. But there's a chance it might just work 🐣
