How long after natural birth can you do a FET?

[Shinebright21]

Just they really, I’m 11 weeks post partum. I had a natural delivery with an epidural towards the end.

I have one embryo left over that I’d like to use as soon as my body is ready.

Thanks for taking the time to read this :)

My clinic said 18 months for a c section - 12 months if I had scar signed off by doctor that had healed

I believe you can't be breastfeeding during treatment, so factor that in if relevant.

I'm sure you could ask your clinic? Must be a discussion they have quite often!

Dear @Shinebright21 can you please let us know once your clinic tells you? I'm about to start treatments and I would like to create a big family

@gianaInfertilitySucks I'm sure you already know this, but just in case. If you want a big family it's probably worth you doing multiple egg collection rounds so you have plenty ready. The younger your eggs/embryos the better.

I've been doing ivf now for 2 1/2 years and no bfp yet and my last egg collection round was over 1 1/2 years ago now, so I'm very aware that if I need to do another egg collection the quality may have dipped. I have 2 frozen genetically normal ones left, so I'm hoping one of them is 'the one'. You will need to pay for extra storage fees of course.

@seven201 oh no I didn't know, i got the diagnosis a few days ago and I'm still trying to accept everything. Thank you for letting me know! Is it something I have to request or are they going to ask me?

I don't know. I don't think mine asked me. I went for a finance package of 2 full rounds, and that did not allow for multiple egg collection rounds. In hindsight I wish I'd collected more eggs/embryos before transferring. You may be lucky though and it just works for you.

@Shinebright21 hope you can get a timeline for treatment, even if it is not very soon you can have an idea of when.

@gianaInfertilitySucks sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis. Take some time to process the news and whatever issues are causing or contributing to your infertility.
I don't want to be doom and gloom but some people don't get any embryos suitable for freezing, or at least not every round. The first friend I knew who did IVF had 8 frozen embryos (and 3 children so far from that round and considering another FET soon) so it is possible but it's maybe not the norm. My first few I didn't get any embryos suitable for freezing so just transferred whatever embryo(s) the clinic recommended.

I did one in April having given birth in previous July. Had a c section so doctor wanted to check that was fully healed as well.
