FET November/ December

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

@lauradxoxo aw I was just wondering how you were getting on lovely? I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had such a tough time following failed December transfer. Hope time has provided some healing for you? Are you planning another transfer or cycle or have you decided to take a longer break.
I’m well thanks. Just in the midst of another round actually. Waiting for the call to confirm if I can trigger today for egg collection Thursday. 🤞🏻

Girls !!! I am 5 days past 5 day blastocyst trasfer , and I have tested today just for fun and I got this ? What do you lovelys think ? Xxx my official test day is in 8 days ! Halo

FET November/ December
lauradxoxo · 15/03/2022 12:03

Awww congratulations @ShareLove I would say that’s defo positive !!! As your only 5dp5dt I think that line is going to keep getting darker!!

So happy for you xxxxx

ShareLove · 15/03/2022 12:12

@lauradxoxo aww thank you so much !!!! I hope it starts getting darker every few days from now on !! I hope it’s not chemical Sad I am soo happy but so anxious at the same time as anything could go wrong at any time , specially as I am so early still .
I’m so suprised I got a positive already as my blastocyst was only 2BB so not even fully expanded or hatched when I had the transfer . But looks like it started growing fast once it was transferred Halo xxx I hope all of us have happy healthy pregnancy’s this year ! Star

ShareLove · 15/03/2022 12:14

@lauradxoxo , I see you started another FET already ? Are you doing down regulations at the moment ? Xxx

ExhaustedPigeon1988 · 15/03/2022 12:52

@lauradxoxo thank you for thinking of me, and I’m so sorry you are struggling. A chemical is such a hard blow, especially after everything we go though. I am still raw after losing the twins, in all honesty I don’t think that will ever change, and it’s made me very anxious when dealing with the clinic. But there is no choice but to keep going. I had another FET 24th feb, which was a negative. I haven’t any more frozen, so am now waiting to start a whole new fresh cycle :( my consultation isn’t until April, so just impatiently waiting for that to arrive. I have decided only to deal with the medical director, who is also the most experienced surgeon at the clinic, I know this will delay things, but I dont trust anyone else- I am hoping my cycle will land right to start meds straight after the consultation, but I doubt I will be that lucky x

lauradxoxo · 15/03/2022 13:22

@ShareLove yeah I totally understand how you will be feeling after my chemical pregnancy that’s exactly how I’m Gona be now. Obsessing over line progression and worrying constantly. As if the process isn’t hard enough we all have to deal with so much 😭

Yeah I started again last week I have my lining scan a week today send all being well will transfer end of month. I am more anxious than excited tho. I’m terrified about it being negative but even if I’m lucky ti get a positive I’m terrified of the same thing happening again.

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 I’ve been thinking of you a lot actually as I can’t even imagine how hard losing your two babies were. I’m still really struggling with my chemical and it was so early at only 5 weeks so I know how hard this will be for you. And I am so so sorry to hear your latest fet wasn’t successful 😭 honestly sometimes I can’t believe how strong we all are to have to keep going though this. It’s definately the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. And I was so naive at the start thinking it would work first time 😭🤣

I just feel constantly down and over think evrything especially about where I should be in my pregnancy if I didn’t have my loss 🥲

So hard to try and keep postive but we all want it so much there’s no other choice but to keep going.

I am thinking of you all. We really are warriors on all this and I really hope we all finally get out time ❤️

ExhaustedPigeon1988 · 15/03/2022 13:43

@lauradxoxo I was the same, I can’t believe I thought it would work first time, and I can’t believe I was silly enough to think a positive test meant all was going to be ok. I also know exactly where I would be in my pregnancy now, and I find it extremely hard as one of my friends who I would with was 10 weeks ahead of me, so I see her bump daily. My brain is starting to shut down to the pain now, I almost feel robotic, just getting through each day.

I will be speaking with the managing director 4th April, I can’t wait, as I’m hoping he will be able to give me some insight, and create a more personalised plan. It was him that done my last transfer, and I was asking loads of questions then, he outright told me it’s pot luck, and the people who get the baby at the end are the ones prepared to do it as many times as necessary. (Easy for him to say). We are self funded, and I don’t know if we will manage more after this egg collection, we will obviously use all frozen embryos too, but after that we are going to have to really make a choice, but a house or continue trying for a baby…. It’s so shit x

ShareLove · 15/03/2022 15:06

@lauradxoxo @ExhaustedPigeon1988 I so sorry you are both feeling so shit, I know exactly how you both feel as I have been in this situation myself , it’s not nice at all and it affects your mental health so much ! For me it did anyways .
I have had 5 pregnancy’s all ending before 6 weeks , Natural pregnancy’s , not ivf , so can you imagine the pain I have been through tooSad ! 5 times I had hopes and 5 times I had it taken away so quick ,
This is my first ivf pregnancy so let’s see how it goes . This time I am on progesterone and blood thinners so maybe this will help . I pray it does ! I am unexplained . No reason for my losses . So keep strong girls , we are so strong ! I don’t know if I will ever have a baby myself , my positive test is only the beginning of my nightmare Sad now I am praying it’s not chemical and praying I get past 6 weeks ……

ShareLove · 15/03/2022 15:08

I hate it how easy it is for other people to have babies , just get pregnant and have baby 9 months later Sad and we are here struggling , we don’t deserve this at all Blush

ExhaustedPigeon1988 · 15/03/2022 15:23

Sending loads of love @ShareLove yea have had natural losses too, it’s a rough journey. Fingers crossed for yo-yo x

Ivfjourney2 · 15/03/2022 21:28

Sorry for the late reply ladies, my day has gone very well thankyou @ShareLove & @lauradxoxo.. we have 2 Embies on board 😁💜 graded 5BB @ 5BC, we have a 4BC left on ice. The transfer went really well, so just have to sit back relax and hope for the best.
Wow I’m so happy for you @sharelove, that’s a lovely second line and hopefully in the coming days will only get thicker 🥰 how are you feeling??
And Laura it’s so nice to know your in the middle of your FET, I really hope things work out this time 🤞🏻 you will have your transfer around my rest day, My OTD is 29th but me and OH have decided to test earlier this time as I’ve always waited until day 14.
@ExhaustedPigeon1988 I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling, I can only imagine the pain you e felt after your loss 💔 I’m glad your finding some strength to continue though and hope all works out for you this time around.
Sending lot & lots of baby dust to each and everyone of us on here ✨✨✨ xxxx

ShareLove · 16/03/2022 07:47

@Ivfjourney2 ahh congrats on your trasfer ! Now the terrible two week wait ! Urgh I hate it ! I tested from day 4 past trasfer and had a shadow line on my test and then next day on day 5 it was much clearer xx I wish you all the luck in the world , you have some lovely grade blasts on board , 5BB wow that’s amazing ! I only had 1 2BB trasferred .
I heard that BB embryos make babies the most !
I am still very early days, almost 4 weeks in 3 days . I have been feeling nausea, off my food completely , only want to eat crap , and feeling heavy in uterus area but I haven’t had cramping at all since trasfer . Just like some heavy feeling only . Xx

Agapanthus13 · 16/03/2022 08:30

@ShareLove aww congratulations, that’s such a lovely clear line. Really happy for you. Hope you’re not feeling too rough with the side effects xx Are you testing regularly to see the progression?

@Ivfjourney2 That’s wonderful news 💕 Did you know you were having two little embies put back in? Hope you’ve managed to rest well and feeling good today x

Agapanthus13 · 16/03/2022 08:33

@lauradxoxo so lovely to hear you’ve started another transfer. Are you doing a natural cycle this time or medicated? Hope you’re getting on ok xx

Twinmummy15 · 16/03/2022 08:40

Hi Ladies

I'm so sorry, just catching up on all.the messages.

Thank you all for your well wishes. I'm doing OK so far. Had nausea, but no vomiting... the nausea and sore boobs seem to be wearing off a bit now I'm 10 weeks plus. So that is worrying me, but trying to remember that symptoms can come and go.

@ShareLove congratulations to you. That's definitely a line and strong one for 5 days past. I tested at 5 days past and it was negative. Then again at 9 days and it was a fine positive. So yours is very strong... maybe it's twins Shock

@lauradxoxo I'm really sad to hear you're having a rough time. I pray that this will be your time and you can start to look forward.

@Ivfjourney2 glad the transfer went well. If I can give any advice for the 2ww then that is go for slow walks and eat warm foods like soup. Keeping everything crossed for you.

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 I hope you start to feel better too, but I can't imagine how hard it is to lose 2 babies. Stay strong x

@Agapanthus13 I hope your egg collection goes well and the meds are not causing you too many side effects!

Come on Ladies, let's spread the baby dust and get all positives for the ladies in this thread going forward in their next cycles! You can do it Star

Twinmummy15 · 16/03/2022 08:51

@tulipsandsnow how was your transfer on the 19th Feb? Did all go to plan? And what was your outcome? Hoping it was a positive 🙏 for you x

ShareLove · 16/03/2022 10:13

@Agapanthus13 hey ! Thank you for your well wishes Smile yes I will be testing every day from now to see the progression Grin I tested today and it was darker line Smile
I’m pretty shocked really that my trasfer worked as I went back to work the very next day and my job is physical lifting boxes all day , and bending over a lot , 2-10 kg boxes . I though I messed it all up with having such a hard week at work but it goes to show that you don’t really need to relax after trasfer Smile
@Twinmummy15 , hey thank you !! Star
I don’t think it will be twins as I only had 1 put back in Grin
I am having light period cramp pains , very very light though .. Flowers
I can’t wait to be in your position at 10 weeks , you have come so far , you’re Neally out of danger zone xxx

lauradxoxo · 16/03/2022 10:46

@Twinmummy15 so so amazing to hear your pregnancy is progressing well can’t believe that’s you at 10 weeks already!!

@ShareLove amazing your line is getting darker I knew it would!! After 5 losses this is definately your time!!

@Ivfjourney2 great to hear you have two little embabies on board!! I really hope they are little sticky beans!! Let us know how your getting on you will be in my prayers ❤️

@ExhaustedPigeon1988 awww that’s great your getting to deal with the managing director that shoukd really give you some peace of mind as I know how horrible your experience has been with some of the staff at your clinic. As if this experience isn’t hard enough for us 😭 4th April is only a few weeks away so definitely keep us posted how you get on xxxxxx

@tulipsandsnow yes how are you doing lovely have you started another round too? Xxxxx

tulipsandsnow · 16/03/2022 11:26

@Twinmummy15 thank you for asking! It was a positive initially, but I'm afraid I'm almost certain it is going to be a MMC, scan on Friday will let me know. I've had intensive health problems with my pelvis and bladder (potentially undiagnosed infection, can't get help from GP) and am totally bedridden and in constant pain/totally debilitated, and infection and/or that level of inflammation is high risk of miscarriage. That and my first two pregnancies (that didn't result in live birth, terminations as partner not ready back then) I was incredibly ill weeks 4.5-8 weeks, we're talking fainting, can't keep down food, constant nausea and dizzy. Yet right now I feel basically normal. Yes its true that symptoms can vary, but there's studies that show that nausea in early weeks reduces risk of miscarriage 50-75%, and since I as so severe so early the last two times I really in my heart think its not a good outcome. I know it varies with everyone, but for me personally, its easier to accept that, and then I could be shocked in good way if there was unexpected good news. Hope and positivity have always made things worse for me in this process when I have them I'm afraid, I prefer to accept what is most likely now and actually not stay positive, though I know other people's personalities would deal with it very differently!

I haven't caught up with thread, how are things with you? xx

tulipsandsnow · 16/03/2022 11:32

@lauradxoxo meant to tag you too when replied!x

Ivfjourney2 · 16/03/2022 14:13

@ShareLove thankyou hunnie, I hope your right and the BBs are the ones that become babies 🤞🏻We are going to test Sunday I think so that will be day 5 after transfer. Going to order some first response tests now. Oh I hope your symptoms ease for you hunnie, get those feet up and rest. 😘 @Agapanthus13 thankyou, yes we had planned this as both are previous fresh and frozen transfers failed and they were both single embryos, i just think if they stick they’ll stick on there own or together so go with it and take a chance 😅🙏🏻 Am feeling good now, had a bust up with my 14 year old this morning 🤦🏼‍♀️ Which made me angry&upset, but I’ve cooled down and been relaxing all day with my sister. Teenagers hey 🙄!!
@Twinmummy15 thankyou also, we’ll I’ve just had my hot vegetable soup.l and am going to take my dog for a little walk in half hour. Thankyou for you kind advise and good luck wishes 😘 try not to over think things I’m sore ylur pregnancy is going perfectly fine, when is your next scan??
@lauradxoxo yup 2 embabies on board 😁 I’m praying all works out this time round now, it so hard to keep picking ourselves up and going Again 🙏🏻 What date is your lining scan now? Xxxxx
