Hi,

Is anyone else having a FET this month? I think I will have my egg transfer next week. It's my first one.

@ForestThrills Hi Op. I have mine on Monday. We are are transferring 2*3bb embryos. It’s my second transfer, the first ended in miscarriage. How are you feeling? Are you starting progesterone soon?

RMS0209 · 19/10/2022 20:52

Hi! @ForestThrills
I hope I can join, I had egg retrieval in September. ,currently day 28 hoping to start my new cycle soon for transfer but I will be November x

ForestThrills · 20/10/2022 07:59

Hi, ahh good luck for Monday. I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I’ve also experienced losses and this is why we’ve gone down the IVF route. I’ve had my baseline scan and then have another this week. Is that when you start progesterone?

@RMS0209 Good luck! How are you feeling about it all? I’ll change the group name to include November too.

@ForestThrills sorry to hear about the losses 😞

Thank you, sending you lots of luck too!
I'm fine, but I am now beginning to have an over active mind.. I think the rest of the ivf train was ok always had something next, this is the "final" step as such. My cycles are longer (40+ days) but still classed as "regular" at my clinic so I will be doing a natural FET, I'm cycle day 29 today so I have to wait.. hoping the little embryos are happy just chilling (get it?! ha ha) how are you feeling about it all? X
It's nice to have somebody to speak to going through the same thing!

Rtmhwales · 21/10/2022 03:36

I'll be having mine in early November after getting the green light to start a cycle today Smile

My previous transfer in July ended in an ectopic in early August which was very depressing.

I have 20 embryos on ice at the moment, all 5BB bar a couple being 6BB. Apparently we make "average" quality embryos with little to no deviation.

How's everyone feeling? I was nervous and excited last time but this time I'm rather neutral. Had three previous miscarriages in the year and a half before my FET.

Hi! I had my FET transfer Friday 10/21. Couldn’t take my mind off it since. 2ww is a torture!

Hopefull1981 · 23/10/2022 12:50

My FET is tomorrow. I am trying to be positive but I feel like something is going to wrong. They won’t survive the thaw, failure to implant and then there is the thoughts is having another miscarriage. I have had 5 in 16 months.

@Rtmhwales 20 embryos is an amazing results. Well done.

@Crazyladywithacat good luck for the TWW. I was an early tester last time so I’ll no doubt be the same this time round.

Crazyladywithacat · 23/10/2022 13:02

@Hopefull1981 so sorry to hear about the Miscarriages. I can’t even begin to worry. Did you doctor say why? Sending positive thoughts and good vibes!!

morganablue · 24/10/2022 15:33

Hi Guys! I am currently 3dp5dt after a FET with double transfer on 21/10.

OTD is Sunday 30th. This is my 4th transfer (1 fresh transfer with ICSI/IVF & 1 FET did not implant, and 1 IVF/ICSI fresh transfer ended up in miscarriage at week 6. ).
This is also the first transfer after discontenting my fallopian tubes (in July they spotted bilateral Hydrosalpinx).

Send help!😅

Hopefull1981 · 24/10/2022 19:26

@morganablue congrats. Wishing you a speedy TWW. I am on day 0, 2 x 3bbs transferred this morning. I am so glad to be finished the antibiotics and steroids.

FET October
Hopefull1981 · 24/10/2022 19:28

@Crazyladywithacat we had the last one tested and it was trisomy 16, the most common cause of first trimester miscarriages. Hope these embabies don’t have the same.

Emsie1987 · 24/10/2022 19:35

Hi I had my transfer at lunchtime today. This is my third transfer from the same ivf cycle.
first fresh ended in a missed miscarriage
first fet is now 3 and very cheeky
natural pregnancy ectopic had tube removed
second fet today.

unexplained fertility.

Was told it was a 4ab but once thawed it was a 4aa and 80 per cent hatched. Everyone was very positive about this. Don’t know much about what hatching means on success rates.

anyway Tww begins
good luck to everybody else x

Hopefull1981 · 24/10/2022 19:40

@Emsie1987 good luck to you too. I have a 3 year old also who is currently coughing all over me. I am praying I don’t catch anything…

Emsie1987 · 24/10/2022 19:42

Fingers crossed you don’t. So may bugs going around at the moment. We all had a cold bug this weekend. Today was the first day I woke up feeling slightly normal. I’m hoping it didn’t have an effect. I read that as long as you don’t have a fever it’s okay.

my doctor also tested positive for covid so had to find a replacement last minute this morning

Crazyladywithacat · 24/10/2022 22:55

4aa sounds very promising! Good luck

Crazyladywithacat · 24/10/2022 23:03

my frozen transfer was on Friday 10/21 morning and I tested on Saturday night I see a very light line almost can’t see it? And then I read about false positive result from trigger shot so I couldn’t help it and tested again Sunday line, the light line still there. I ran out of pregnancy tests now, otherwise I might test every night till next Monday my blood test.

I had my son through fresh transfer 2 years ago, he is now 17 months old. We had 7 embryos left but after biopsy, only 3 left - 2 girls and 1 boy. We transferred a girl this time. I’m worried about the twice thaw process. How can we make these 2 weeks pass faster?!

morganablue · 25/10/2022 07:57

The TWW is pure hell!
@Hopefull1981 aw, congratulations on transferring your two Frosties.
I was so torn on whether to transfer one or two this time around, but two was the right choice for us.

@Crazyladywithacat did you also have your ET on Friday? TWW twin :) Just checking if this was a frozen embryo transfer? Would the trigger show only when you do egg collection?
I haven't started testing yet, as I would be 4day post the 5 day transfer, so not sure HCG would even show at this point.

Also anxious about testing, as mostly what terrifies me is getting another positive that puts me in weeks of Beta HCG hell and ends up in CP/miscarriage. 😔 I wish I was still so naive (or not traumatised) to believe that positive pregnancy test equals baby. Infertility sucks!

ForestThrills · 25/10/2022 11:42

Good luck to everyone with their transfers. Sending you lots of luck and strength x

@Hopefull1981 our last miscarriage was also due to trisomy 21.

Our daughter is 2 and a half and started nursery in September. She has been so poorly since and so have we

We have our FET on Friday. It will be our first transfer. We’ve had our embryos PGT-A tested due to my history of miscarriage.

Crazyladywithacat · 25/10/2022 18:57

@morganablue yes frozen ET. Internet (so of course it’s true!) says the ovidrel shot I took could stay in the body for 10 days. Last time I waited till 2 days before bloodwork to test, it was positive. This time I don’t know why I just couldn’t wait or have my mind off. I thought I would be more relax for 2nd child. I know even if I have a BFP I will still worry about other things like last time. I guess we will just have yo wait and keep thinking positively!

Aim2912 · 25/10/2022 19:54

Hi all, thought I'd join even though I'm a bit ahead of you guys.

I'm 7dpt today I had a 2 embryos transferred on the 18th

@morganablue @Crazyladywithacat do you guys have any symtoms yet?

Wish all the very best of luck in this tww!!

Crazyladywithacat · 25/10/2022 19:56

@Aim2912 minor crampon Sunday I think? But I could be imagining it because I kept thinking about it you know. What about you?

Aim2912 · 25/10/2022 20:10

@Crazyladywithacat I had so minor twinges up until day 5. Then yesterday I had alot of cramps and had some spotting. Today there has been no spotting just some cramps.

Hope this means something is happening!

I've a had a MC in the past from a natural pregnancy and 2 failed transfers and the cramping was quite bad for all of these. So not have much at the moment makes me more positive!

morganablue · 27/10/2022 18:19

How are you all getting along?
I am 6dp7dt today and definitely feeling I want to start testing already! (Testing day is Sunday at 9dp5dt).😱 although terrified so I haven't yet.

morganablue · 27/10/2022 18:23

@Aim2912 I have boob soreness , dry mouth, cramps and back pain, but those can just be the millions meds I am on! (Cyclogest 800mg twice per day, progesterone in oil intramuscular injection, steroid, aspirin, clexane injections and 3 times per day Estradiol).
