Hi,

I'm not sure if there is already a thread open for a FET in November / December.

I was due to have a FET last week however after having two lining scans, I tested positive for coronavirus 🙄. I should now be having a FET after my next bleed (mid November) and hopefully a FET early December. Would be great to chat you others on a similar timeline. X

Hi All,
I had my FET on 25th Nov and notice spotting sore breast tiredness cramps from day 3. I have had a negative test this morning day 11 after transfer. Have anyone being the same situation? Is it too early to give up on this one?

Bb30 · 05/12/2021 16:36

Thanks all. I'm 11dp5dt today. Still in shock and a bit on edge as the line was faint.

@fet2021 so sorry to hear your news. Xx

@lvth231 definitely test again on your otd. X

Sunbird24 · 05/12/2021 16:56

Evening, I had a 5dt on 26 Nov, and have a BFP, including CB digital saying 2-3 weeks. Only I’m terrified, as I’ve been here 3 times before, and miscarried every time, with the physical fallout getting worse each time - to the point I needed a blood transfusion and emergency surgery with the latest one. Just need somewhere to try and stay sane for the next 4-5 weeks til my viability scan, as that’s always been when I get bad news.

Lvth231 · 05/12/2021 17:14

@Bb30 thanks for your response
I meant to say today test was day 15, please what otd? And chemicals

LemonRabbit · 05/12/2021 17:39

Congratulations @Bb30!

@Lvth231
Otd is Official Test Day - I think most clinics ask people to come in for a blood test after 2 weeks as pregnancy tests you can buy in shops are accurate, but not as sensitive as a blood test.

@LemonRabbit thanks

Girls , I am 11 days past trasfer 4 days old 2 morulas , not yet blasts . and I’m testing negative , I know it’s negative as I should be testing positive by now but clinic told me to test in couple of days from today , 3 days from now .
Is there any point in doing my medications when I know it’s over already ? I’m just delaying my period when I could just stop medications and get on with my new cycle !! But I don’t know if my clinic will be happy if I say I stopped my medication on Sunday when I should take medication till next Wednesday originally ?!? Please someone help me decide ! I hate taking medicine knowing it’s for a lost cause ! And like what’s the point !

Agapanthus13 · 06/12/2021 08:13

Morning all, how’s everyone getting on today?

@FET2021sorry to read of your bfn yesterday, especially after the excitement of BFp the day before. Have you reached test day yet or spoken to your clinic? I’m keeping all my fingers crossed for you lovely xx

@Bb30 & @ExhaustedPigeon1988 congratulations to you both. Such lovely news, hope you’re both feeling well and enjoying this time xx

I know lots are in the 2ww atm, thinking of you all and sending lots of positive vibes & good wishes xx

Bb30 · 06/12/2021 08:15

Tested again this morning and the line was a lot fainter so I think it's a chemical. It's just so heartbreaking. My symptoms are gone too so I think that's a clear sign that it's over. Just don't know how to get over this. I don't understand why it doesn't work. I'm young and healthy and everything looked "perfect" according to the doctors. Just don't know what to do now. We have embryos left in the freezer but I just can't face another fet.

Agapanthus13 · 06/12/2021 08:20

I finally started my meds on Thursday and have a scan end of this week. Going to have a re read of everyone’s tips on building up that lining 🤞🏻

Agapanthus13 · 06/12/2021 08:27

@Bb30 I’m really so sorry to hear that. I’m still new to this whole process so I dont quite understand the whole positive chemical, then negative but it sounds so incredibly difficult emotionally. Are you at test day yet? The fact you still have a line, even if faint must still be a good sign? Can you call the nurses and have a chat over? Xx

Bb30 · 06/12/2021 08:51

@Agapanthus13 thanks and best of luck with your cycle x
Test day is tomorrow. I'm clinging to the hope that my urine was just a bit more diluted today but realistically when the symptoms are gone too I doubt there is much hope. I'm not sure if there is much point in ringing the clinic? I assume they'll just say test again tomorrow which I plan to do anyway.

Anyone have advice on what tests should be done? Embryos were excellent quality. Eggs and sperm were rated excellent too cause everything fertilised and made it to day 5. Husband has had karyotyping and y deletion testing done which was all fine. I've only had blood tests and internal scans. The doctors thought it was just a motility issue that caused the infertility but now I'm worried that I can't maintain a pregnancy.

Agapanthus13 · 06/12/2021 09:05

@Bb30 hang on in there lovely and test again tomorrow, there are a number of things that could cause it to be fainter so don’t loose hope. I’ll keep everything crossed for you xx will let others reply on suggestions as it’s beyond my knowledge

Bb30 · 06/12/2021 11:01

@Agapanthus13 thanks so much xx

lauradxoxo · 06/12/2021 13:20

Hi girls sorry I’ve been quiet was in London over the weekend !

Omg @ExhaustedPigeon1988 congratulations!!
How many dpt were you when you got your BFP? So happy for you!!

@Twinmummy15 awww I am so sorry to hear your result was negative 😭 what’s your plans now?

@FET2021 @ShareLove how are you both getting on have you tested again today?

@Faerun congratulations on your transfer! How you doing for far?

@LemonRabbit @Becky105 welcome to the thread! Good luck to you both in the 2WW!!

@Alexm06 is your transfer on Wednesday?

@Agapanthus13 how are you doing???

@Bb30 have you tested again?

Xxxxx

Twinmummy15 · 06/12/2021 13:34

Hi Everyone

@FET2021@ShareLove hope you're both OK? Did any of you test again?

Congratulations on the BFPs. I'm secretly very jealous of you! But also glad you have your Christmas miracles.

I'm sorry I've been quiet for a few days. I've been really down the last few days. Just can't cope with doing it all again to be dissapointed again. Trying to stay positive, but really can't at the moment.

Will be having another cycle in Jan cycle. But all depends when my period starts.
Maybe I'll have some January cycle buddies?

Good luck to those in their 2WW. And upcoming transfers.

@tulipsandsnow how are you doing?

@Novavee how is your pregnancy going? I bet its the best Xmas pressie ever!

Alexm06 · 06/12/2021 15:48

@lauradxoxo yeah it's on Wednesday. It's my last frozen embryo so I'm going to be shitting myself every time my phone rings that day as my transfer isn't until 3.

How was London? I'm going next week for a friends bday.

Faerun · 06/12/2021 16:38

@FET2021 and @Bb30, so sorry to see you both think you’ve had chemicals. Thoughts to both of you.

@lauradxoxo Doing okay so far. I’m having all the same symptoms I had on my last round which was positive but MMC, except much earlier - so either all my symptoms were caused by meds last time, or something has worked. I’m trying to be zen about it but it’s hard. Last time I had spotting 6dp5dt, then sore boobs, and nausea about two days later. Same thing this time, except the spotting was 2dp5dt and everything else 4dp5dt.

tulipsandsnow · 06/12/2021 16:44

@Twinmummy15 hey, thank you for checking in! I wish I could say I was ok, but I don't think I was quite prepared for how scary it is to have a euploid chemical. Sure, it could be 'just one of those things', or, it could be a sign that I'm in for a long, uphill battle that I'm going to get priced out of. I simply can't get together money to be able to do an unlimited or anything more than 2 cycle package, like its just not there- I already sold my beloved horse, who was like a pet and if you'd told me before all this I'd ever sell her for any reason I'd have said you were crazy. That was the only way I had left to raise money, don't qualify for credit in UK and have maxed out credit line in my home country for first round. I'm absolutely petrified that if I can lose a chemical, I will need more rounds or tests than there is money for and that this will be it for me.

Realistically, I don't know that that is the case, but the fact that it is a potential has totally spun me and its hard to function.

My embryo was tested euploid, 5CB, fully hatched after thawing. It's good that it was fully hatched and had a C ICM rating in a way, because you could potentially blame either of those things for making it not be strong enough to hold the pregnancy (even though it was strong enough to survive the thaw and implant right away- I had faint line on 4dp6dt and strong line on 7dp5dt, but back to stark white negative by late evening of 8dpt5dt.)

Anyway, have scrounged together what little debt left I could go into, so its last chance saloon with two rounds left paid upfront. My job/career is going to spiral eventually from all this, as I just spent 3 months being mediocre at my job/missing some of it, now going to have to do that for at least another 3 months or who knows how long.
I'm going to focus on losing as much weight as possible before next FET, as while my BMI is only slightly above normal range, high BMI is associated with less progesterone, and my progesterone levels were only mediocre (they were 'fine', and rising', but not particularly high) for this chemical, so need to try to improve things there.

last message 1st para last sentence should have said *if I can lose a euploid from being a chemical
