FET March/April

563 replies

PT8998 · 04/03/2021 19:51

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any dates pencilled in for an FET during March/April? I have been given the dates of 30/03 for baseline scan and transfer the week of 12/04.

It would be great to see if there are many others on similar timelines?!

@IloveHaroldBishop oooh fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻💕

PT8998 · 25/03/2021 17:41

Ladies! I have been flat out busy (and exhausted) with work. I have completed my norethisterone and the progesterone has made me so tired! I will read through all of the comments that I have missed and will get back to you all soon ❤️

Hope you’re all keeping well 😍

Hi ladies, joining in here! I am 5dpt5dt and going crazy! I'm feeling great which also makes me think the embryo didn't implant. Everyday I'm hoping to see some spotting and it doesn't come :( I'm not testing at home and going to wait to go to the doctor next week. But I'll drive myself crazy till then

Sellandtravel · 25/03/2021 18:23

@elsaesmeralda I have my blood test on Monday 🤞🏻 But have just bought 3 different other tests to use over the weekend.

@IloveHaroldBishop good luck for a sticky embryo.

@PT8998 hope you are feeling more chilled out soon. Relax!

@paitentlywaiting good luck. We are at the same day (I’m 7dp3dt) in terms of embryo age. I’ve got my blood test on Monday but think I might have a faint positive? Trying not to get my hopes up yet!

paitentlywaiting · 25/03/2021 18:51

@Sellandtravel aaah congrats if it is positive!!! I'm waiting out till Monday.. aaargh

louloulemons · 26/03/2021 07:10

Has anybody else had night sweats on buserelin? Thought I was getting away without symptoms but they have kicked in in the last few days and taken me by surprise a bit! Delightful!

elsaesmeralda · 26/03/2021 07:16

Good luck @paitentlywaiting I have my 🤞🏻

Have you tested this morning yet ? @Sellandtravel

Hope you're all good @PT8998

@louloulemons yep I had horrendous hot flushes and they would wake me throughout the night, I'd be throwing the duvet off me then shivering not long after, just lovely side effects ! The side effects really ramped up once my period started, but since I've started the progynova they've stopped

IloveHaroldBishop · 26/03/2021 08:45

@elsaesmeralda
I’ve always had night sweats on buserelin too. At least we get to know what some of joys of the menopause will bring!

Hope you are all ok this morning ladies. I’m 1dp5dt xx

PT8998 · 26/03/2021 10:05

@lucymills1234 hi and welcome (albeit late). Fingers crossed your post EC bleed has now stopped and you’re well on the way to your period to get going! 5 blasts is a fab number, so congrats.

@elsaesmeralda - what are they doing about your lining?

@Sellandtravel - hey! Late to the party, but you arrived saying it was going to be a long two weeks, that was a week ago! So hopefully you are seeing the time fly by!
With regards to the HPT pic, I definitely see a line from the one you posted Thursday - have you since tested? Are there any updates?

@CLP20 hey! Seems we are on a similar timeline, my transfer will hopefully be the week of 12th April! Fingers crossed this FET is the one!

@RichmondLady1981 Great news on the next round! I am so pleased for you. Sometimes having the dates to work towards is always a good thing, helps you process everything a little easier then! Please keep us all posted with how you get on

@Gensola hey and welcome! Fingers crossed this frostie is the one. They do say it only takes one!
Also re the gradings, I was the same! I was frantically looking for any evidence to point towards my grading Frosties being the ones that would be okay. I was so worried!

@willithappen woohoo! We are going to be in the same week then? I have yet to find out the exact date, but they have said it will be that week. So we may end up with a same day transfer!

@IloveHaroldBishop welcome and congrats! I really hope you get at least one sticky bean! Imagine twins? That is almost my dream as I have always wanted two and then it would save this entire process all over again!

@paitentlywaiting welcome to the chat and congrats on already achieving PUPO status! How are you feeling? Keeping everything tightly crossed for you!

@louloulemons oh man! I am hoping that I don’t have the hot sweats! Nothing worse! How long is your buserelin regimen for? Do you have long left?

Think I have managed to catch up with everyone/everything now!

I am still waiting for the bleed post Norethisterone. My basleline scan is booked in for Monday morning and if no bleed has arrived, I will have to postpone the scan until after my bleed has showed up! I am nervous it won’t happen, but I have to just wait and see. I just hate the idea of there being a delay already. Watch this space, I guess?! On a mad spending spree today; making sure I have my pregnacare on order, looking to get some raspberry leaf tea, money put into savings for acupuncture, going to get a few bottles of POM and purchase a couple of pineapples (will chop and then freeze them) so they're good to go! Trying to remain focussed and not letting the (big) worry of the potential late bleed distract me!

IloveHaroldBishop · 26/03/2021 10:12

Well done @PT8998 Star to you for remembering what stage everyone is at!

Twins would be a dream although I’m really not sure as 3 out of my 5 embryos have been unsuccessful. These are our last two. Diff protocol and natural cycle this time so fingers crossed! Smile

elsaesmeralda · 26/03/2021 10:17

@PT8998 it was the last attempted fet that my lining didn't respond on the standard 6mg progynova, so this time I'm on 12mg and also have patches. And I've down regged this time as they seem to think my lining didn't respond last time due to my bodies natural progesterone rising. But who knows! Will find out on the 1st if it's actually responded this time but it's a worry!

Sorry to hear you're feeling a little anxious but I totally get it, it's so hard this process and wondering what if all the time! When did you take the last northisterone tablet??

PT8998 · 26/03/2021 10:23

@IloveHaroldBishop I am not even going to attempt to lie and say I remembered it all. I opened a word doc and was replying to as much as I could (without writing an entire essay) as I was reading! Haha! Sentiments still remain - I really hope that this is your lucky cycle. When is your OTD?

@elsaesmeralda Ah I see - apologies! I really hope though that this time round they recognise the problems last time and change it up a little to try and give you the best chances this time round! The first is to that long of a wait now! Plenty of time to get that endo to grow! Yeah, I am a bit worried, although not worried about the time, as I know I have time. My biggest fear is waiting this long then it all not aligning with the clinic and then the round being cancelled and then back to the waiting again! Last Norethisterone was on Tuesday night at 1800. So I am entering day 3 territory now!

willithappen · 26/03/2021 10:30

@PT8998 would be good if we are in tww together! Be nice to have someone on same schedule
I have a bit of spotting today, never spotted before period before

elsaesmeralda · 26/03/2021 10:32

@PT8998 Hopefully you will start tonight/tomorrow! I've always come on around the 3 day mark after northisterone. That's it isn't it, it's the being pushed back, as if this whole thing doesn't have enough waiting as it is!

Well, last time they scanned me three times before they twigged i wasn't responding so I was pretty frustrated with that, it should have been noticed on the second scan! So they let me go an extra four days of nothing happening and then said , well it's too late in the cycle now to do anything ! So as you can imagine I was so peed off. Fingers crossed my first scan shows something happening.

That reminds me @BambiOnIce80 what cycle day is your first scan scheduled for ?

paitentlywaiting · 26/03/2021 10:35

@PT8998 thank you! I tested this morning and the results came back positive. I'm in disbelief. Now starts the next phase of milestones and worrying. Beta on Monday

elsaesmeralda · 26/03/2021 10:43

@paitentlywaiting congratulations!! 🥳 amazing news

BambiOnIce80 · 26/03/2021 10:47

@elsaesmeralda my clinic cut down on lining progress scans as part of their covid restrictions, so I just get the one on CD17/ day 15 of progynova (unless my lining isn't over 7mm - then I'd need another scan). Just keeping everything crossed that it is the only one I need 🤞 I have this unpleasant, foreboding feeling that just because it was OK last time doesn't mean it'll be OK this time 😥 How's the extra dose of oestrogen going?

Tentative congratulations @Sellandtravel and @paitentlywaiting! 😃 Keeping everything crossed for you that you'll have lovely big beta results when they come round 🤞🍀🤞🍀

CLP20 · 26/03/2021 10:52

@PT8998 massive effort there in catching up!
Yes, provided my period arrives when expected we should be only similar timelines. I think my transfer will be the 16th at the earliest. I hate not having definite dates yet, it’s making juggling work really difficult!

@paitentlywaiting great news!! Good luck for your beta now!

PT8998 · 26/03/2021 11:24

@willithappen yes that would be fab! Fingers crossed. Sometimes sharing the stress is so much easier!

@elsaesmeralda yeah, I hope so! I normally take it for 5 days and it takes anywhere from 6-10 for me to start. So my mind is telling me "no way" ha!
Oh wow, yeah that is really annoying! I would have been fuming! Fingers crossed that isn't the case this time round!!

@paitentlywaiting oh yay! Congratulations! Fingers crossed for Monday!!!!

@CLP20 note to self, don't go AWOL again. Ha! Nice so we could all be very similar re timelines then (@willithappen). Hopefully we all get to transfer that week with no hiccups!

Hello, I tested again this morning and it was a very faint line, but definitely there. It didn’t seem any darker though. I have a stash of tests Blush so I’m going to test each day and see how it goes.

paitentlywaiting · 26/03/2021 12:09

@Sellandtravel congrats! First hurdle jumped :)

Sellandtravel · 26/03/2021 12:16

@paitentlywaiting fingers crossed for us both to have good betas on Monday!

PT8998 · 26/03/2021 12:43

@Sellandtravel Fingers crossed for you! When is your OTD/Beta testing?

OP posts:
Sellandtravel · 26/03/2021 12:48

@PT8998 it’s Monday. I’m 11dpo today I think? 3dt on the 19th. Following an unmedicated FET. I’m not taking anything at all. I had a half dose trigger on the 15th.

PT8998 · 26/03/2021 13:21

@Sellandtravel apologies I just saw on your previous response.

Monday isn’t long to wait 🤞🏼 A line is still a line and hopefully tomorrow you’ll see some lovely progression in colour!
