Started FET today

Hey ladies! Is anyone starting FET today or soon? This is my first frozen after losing our first fresh at 5w5d in December. Started my estrogen pills today but already worrying as my bleeding seems to have disappeared since this morning! Just looking for some cycle buddies to hand hold!

Sorry just seen your reply. But also that your q has been answered

But basically

Progynova is oestrogen and should help build your uterine ining. It will normally stop you ovulating - it may not stop you ovulating in your situation if ovulation was imminent but if your scans/BT showed no signs of a follicle/impending ovulation, then it will suppress ovulation.

That’s why they scan you week or so the fet and then start pesseries

Good luck to you too @Bettyloo1. Keep us posted x

Bettyloo1 · 24/02/2019 22:00

Thanks @blondeshavemorefun . & i wildo @twikledag many thanks.

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/02/2019 22:05

Sorry your clinic isn’t explaining it all

They should have told you then said any questions etc

Bettyloo1 · 24/02/2019 22:38

Iam going to ask on thursday. Many thanks al keep yous posted .

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/02/2019 08:35

I wouid ring today and ask them

Bettyloo1 · 25/02/2019 11:29

Many thanks. Am going to ring today.

Bettyloo1 · 27/02/2019 09:21

Transfer day is finally tomorrow.iam so nervous incase this time doesnt work. Any tips on how to get embryo to stick better. Iam eating pinapple my diet is great . Just to see if anyone has any tips. Thank u

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/02/2019 21:38

How did it go today

And tips. Honestly

None

The first 4 ivf I ate freshpineapple , kept feet warm as warm feet = warm embryo - ate tons of chicken and boiled eggs and nuts for protein - rest lots - no fizzy drinks or tea ;caffeine) and sure other insane stuff

Coz it worked for others - I would read on fertility boards I did abc and first attempt worked. So you try it

Then my clinic abroad said if the above would work they would tell you to it after a et or fef

5th I did bugger all and worked

Tho as I said before I also had an era and showed I needed more progynova

So no. Don’t do anything usual

Just your usual day to day life

Yesterday went fine . Had a bit cramp last night not sure if it was of the little embryo going in . I still also have one little embryo in freeze as this little beauty in me flew threw it with no probs . Iam currently eating pinapple and nuts eggs ect. Keeping my feet warm . I really hope this time is my time. I can test on tue witch i can't wait for already. Many thanks for your advice . Its good to have someone who knows how i feel.

Bettyloo1 · 01/03/2019 10:11

Also @blondeshavemorefun what is ABC ? I have not heard of this before.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/03/2019 13:23

No I meent people would write I ate fresh pineapple. I had nurs. I kept feet warm etc and it worked for me

So I did everything they said and all 4 failed previously

Nothing you do or doesn’t do will make the embryo attach

It’s just luck tbh

And you would think the law of averages would mean by 3/4/5 attempt a woman would get preg

Obv it depends on the lining. Embryo etc

Sadly if clinic knew why sometimes it failed , they would be able to make every ivf a success instead of odds 15/33.%

I hope this is the one that sticks 💐

Bettyloo1 · 01/03/2019 13:49

Many thanks. I will let you know how i get on . Feeling fab today soo fingers crossed. ♡

64632K · 01/03/2019 13:57

Bettyloo I hope it sticks. Agree with Blondes as I read lots about this before my FET in Jan, decided not to follow any of it, hate the taste of pineapple anyway.
All I did was make sure I stayed hydrated. After transfer we went shopping, so no putting feet up or relaxing - the embie doesn't implant on day of transfer apparently. Mine stuck and am currently 9 weeks.

Bettyloo1 · 01/03/2019 16:18

Wow thats fab news massive congratulations. Is this your 1st FET ?

Bettyloo1 · 01/03/2019 16:24

Just a quick question is it normal to feel abit sore today ? Nothing major just tender i would say . Iam new to this all . As 1st fresh transfer i was on painkillers for my bowl so i was away with it didnt feel like this last time not sure if it was painkillers witch am guessing it was.

Hopefulinderbyshire · 01/03/2019 17:00

I was sore after transfer. So took it easy for last two weeks and got a positive test result yesterday. Fingers crossed for you 😁

Bettyloo1 · 01/03/2019 17:33

Massive congratulations . I have a really good feeling about this little embryo . Am going to start testing tue witch will be 5days after transfer . Hoping to see a faint line . Many thanks for ur stories yous are giving me lots of hope for this time around

64632K · 01/03/2019 17:43

It was our first transfer, we opted straight for FET over fresh. I could feel my lil embie burying itself, I told DH that it was on my left side and then my scans confirmed it. I found this which may be helpful to you:

Day 1: The blastocyst begins to hatch out of the shell – this is called hatching. The cells will carry on dividing throughout this process.

Day 2: The blastocyst continues hatching and begins to attach itself to the uterine lining – this is an incredibly important part of the process.

Day 3: The blastocyst attaches deeper into the uterine lining and implantation begins. It’s perfectly normal to experience some bleeding or spotting around this time and it’s not a cause for concern.

Day 4: The blastocyst digs deeper into the uterus and attaches to the endometrial blood supply. Some people experience more bleeding at this stage, but a lack of bleeding or spotting also doesn’t mean that it has not been successful.

Day 5: Implantation is considered complete and the embryo is developing, along with the cells that will eventually become the placenta.

Day 6: Placenta cells secrete hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which is the hormone picked up in pregnancy tests. The hormone triggers increased progesterone release in the first trimester to enrich the uterus lining and sustain the growing embryo/foetus.

Day 7: The embryo is now a foetus and yet more hCG is present in the blood stream as the placenta continues to develop.

Wow amazing many thanks

WineWinner · 01/03/2019 19:52

Forgot I started this thread! Lovely to see so many ladies in the same boat. I am 4dpt today and got a very faint positive. I'm very happy that it's implanted both times but nervous I'll have another chemical. Hoping it's a positive sign that it's showed so early. I also did everything right last time and had a chemical so this time I've eaten whatever I liked, went straight back to work and been crazy busy all week!

Started FET today

Winewinner keeping my fingers crossed for u

ParksAndRecreation · 01/03/2019 20:16

Fingers crossed for you @winewinner
I’m having my second scan on Tuesday to check my lining, and then hopefully heading to transfer week after...

WineWinner · 01/03/2019 20:19

Thanks ladies! Good luck to you both. I think this FET has been so relaxed compared to fresh. The no injections have made it seem so different for me.

Winewinner I never had a a fresh transfer but my FET was soooo chilled too compared to my cycle
