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?!

Really pleased for you that everything is on track @PT8998 ☺️ Let's get this show on the road! 💪

PT8998 · 27/03/2021 11:11

@BambiOnIce80 thank you! I am excited. Start buserelin in the am, as per the protocol. Finally feel like I’m getting somewhere now! ❤️

@PT8998 good luck!!!

elsaesmeralda · 27/03/2021 13:19

@BambiOnIce80 no effects really off the extra oestrogen ! Extra cm but I did get that last time. I up my dose again tomorrow so we shall see if that makes any difference!
Aw, I'm sure it'll be just fine 💕 it's natural to worry and doubt things I guess but doesn't make it any easier. I will be thinking of you on the 1st! I am bricking it myself !

Brill news @PT8998 all go from here!

I am currently holed up in bed with a head cold/sinus infection. Feeling pretty grim to be honest 🤕 feeling guilty for being in bed as this never happens with a 6 year old ds but partner is being great 👍🏻

willithappen · 27/03/2021 13:34

@PT8998 great news on AF arriving!
Still waiting on mine but only on day 26 of this cycle
Was yours on time from your egg collection? As in has it been a normal cycle length for you or were you later?

My protocol is to take oestrogen tablets from day one and then I believe pessaries from day 13 maybe? No injections for me this time

@elsaesmeralda hope you feel better soon Flowers x

BambiOnIce80 · 27/03/2021 15:59

Awwwww, sorry to hear you're feeling crap @elsaesmeralda 💐 It's best to stay in bed, look after yourself and get it out of your system ASAP 🤞 Yeah, I'm finding FET's a lot physically easier than the fresh cycle but psychologically it's pretty gruelling. There's all the monitoring/scans that come with the fresh cycle so you can see what's going on (whether it he good or bad), whereas with the FET there's nothing until the lining scan and then transfer might be 5-7 days later! 🤯 At least there's not so long to wait to see what's going on for the both of us now🔮 T-5! ⏳

elsaesmeralda · 28/03/2021 13:52

How's everyone doing ?

I'm much better today, I think the day in bed was needed as I'm nearly back to normal 💪🏻

@BambiOnIce80 not long now !! What time is your scan on the 1st? I'm bricking it 😆😩

BambiOnIce80 · 28/03/2021 14:10

Very glad to hear you're feeling better @elsaesmeralda 🙂 I'm in at 9.30am, so thankfully not much waiting about (small mercy!). How about you?

elsaesmeralda · 28/03/2021 14:14

Thank you @BambiOnIce80
And same here !! 😀

BambiOnIce80 · 28/03/2021 14:22

No way!! 😄 I really, really hope we're both coming out of that appointment with a satisfactory lining and a date for transfer 🤞🍀🤞🍀

elsaesmeralda · 28/03/2021 15:07

@BambiOnIce80 oh man, me too 🤞🏻🤞🏻

PT8998 · 28/03/2021 17:33

Thank you everyone! Bleed is already settling, but I feel so sore and groggy from a head/eyes perspective. I feel really rubbish!

@willithappen I don’t normally have periods (PCOS) so it’s normal for me to go to say 90 and then to have my bleeds medically induced. I had my withdrawal bleed after collection (14 days after) and then this bleed was induced. Before I started bleeding, I was CD53.

@elsaesmeralda glad you’re feeling better!

Good luck for tomorrow, to both yourself and @BambiOnIce80. I hope you get some good news coming out of both of your scans!

My baseline is tomorrow at 1100 ☺️

I've started spotting this morning and feel very like AF is on her way Sad. We've already decided this was our last attempt as the emotional toll has just been too much for me and it is affecting my mental health.

I wish you all sticky babies xx

BambiOnIce80 · 29/03/2021 10:11

Oh @Sellandtravel, I'm so sorry that you're spotting 😢 Have you got your beta bloods today? Could it just be normal early pregnancy stuff? I really hope it's a false alarm. Completely understand what you mean about the emotional toll though - I'm here if you need to talk.x

@PT8998 I hope your baseline scan goes OK 🍀

elsaesmeralda · 29/03/2021 11:20

@Sellandtravel sorry to hear that. I hope you're okay? I'm going to echo @BambiOnIce80 and let's hope it could be just early pregnancy spotting, possibly implantation bleeding ? Thinking of you today for your bloods.

@PT8998 how did your baseline go ?

PT8998 · 29/03/2021 17:33

@Sellandtravel oh no! I’m sorry that you’re getting some spotting going on! When is your beta? I agree with the above, it may well be an early pregnancy thing! Keep us posted 🤞🏼❤️

@BambiOnIce80 @elsaesmeralda thank you ladies! Lining was perfect, start progynova soon! Next scan is next Wednesday, so we’ll see what that brings!

Hope you’re both okay! How were your scans?

OP posts:
BambiOnIce80 · 29/03/2021 17:37

Glad all went well with your baseline scan @PT8998 💪 When do you start the progynova?

Our scans aren't until Thursday, so 3 sleeps to go 😴

PT8998 · 29/03/2021 17:40

@BambiOnIce80 thank you! Tomorrow! Whoop! So exciting. Feels like it’s actually all happening now. So that’s good!

Oh apologies... I just like being prepared 🙄😂🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
elsaesmeralda · 29/03/2021 18:51

@PT8998 yes our scans aren't til later in the week, dreading it to be honest !
Great news you're starting the progynova tomorrow, exciting stuff 🥳🥳

PT8998 · 29/03/2021 19:11

@elsaesmeralda I don’t even know where I got the scans today from?! 😂

I’ll check in again Thursday!

Yes, exciting. Now I just need to figure out the timings of when to take them so that it fits in with my day 🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
willithappen · 29/03/2021 20:23

Are you ladies on injections? (I'm still on af watch) but from day 1 of that I'm meant to take three x 2mg progynova tablets and then from day 13 add in the progesterone pessaries and I believe that's all that I take for a frozen cycle

All the signs of AF being on her way. If it comes tomorrow then it's on time, just have a bad feeling it will be late as I didn't get usual ovulation symptoms this month

elsaesmeralda · 29/03/2021 20:30

@PT8998 there is a lot to remember with everyone's scans etc 😆
Oh I know! I've got 4 different alarms for all my tablets and injections, and also checking them off a list as I go! What dosage are you on ?

@willithappen yes I'm still on buserelin, I have to inject until I (hopefully) start progesterone.
Hopefully af arrives on time for you 🤞🏻
