Hi there, I'm just starting my prep month, transfer should be the first week of December. Fingers crossed to us both. 🤞

Hi! @Ks04
yay another cycle buddy... how exciting. Sending you lots of luck! How are you feeling about it? I am just waiting for my clinic to phone me tomorrow to hopefully organise the scans and bloods from cycle day 10/12..
all I have is the trigger shot for the day of transfer.
I have got pomegranate juice on my shopping list to get tomorrow, do you have any hints or tips to share? 😁 x

Hi ladies,

I'm just waiting for AF to show up and then I'm ready for my 'natural' FET. The transfer will probable be around the 20th of November. So nice to have a few people to chat to going through the same!

I had my IVF ICSI cycle in September which ended in a BFN and I've turned my brain off from everything IVF related. I'm kind of nervous to get back into IVF headspace. How are you feeling about everything @RMS0209 and @badassmum22 x

RMS0209 · 30/10/2022 22:04

Hi @Piapea
Great news! Somebody else to join the gang.
I wish I could give you an around date for me... my cycles vary (but the clinic still say I am regular) I had a 35 day cycle this month - delighted! So hopefully I'm around the same time as you.
Do you have any tips for natural?

I'm so sorry to hear about the BFN, but this is your time now!
I'm feeling, well I don't know how I'm feeling... one minute I'm excited and happy the next I'm negative and terrified.. no happy medium! I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can do right and I keep thinking I'm not which is hard. How about you? X

Hey @RMS0209

It's all starting!
I don't think I even know what a natural cycle is..the doctor explained at the follow up meeting but I definitely just nodded along without anything going in.
My period was due yesterday and hasn't shown up yet. My period tracker keeps telling me to take a pregnancy test, which is making me want to fire my phone across the room every time I see it. Typing that out is making me realise that I am probably quite stressed about this 😅
I completely understand how you feel, thinking you're not doing everything you can. I think it's because with the IVF round, we were so occupied with tablets and injections, this time it's just waiting. Good luck Friday, fingers crossed for thick linings and easy transfers!

@RMS0209 thank you! I've had 3 egg collections and 1 fresh transfer. This is my 1st frozen transfer though. Mine is medicated. I'm trying to think positive and previously had councelling which helped so must book a session soon. xx

@Piapea yes, it is so nice having people going through the same thing! This chat is amazing!Sorry to hear about your bfn. Hope all will turn out well this time for all of us. x
I'm on my prep month, once my af comes will start the meds. x

RMS0209 · 01/11/2022 19:10

Hi!
@Piapea
It's all go... finally! goodness I am so happy to hear you also don't know what a natural cycle is, I need to stay off social media because natural cycles appear to have different meanings at different clinics..
Have you had any signs of your period starting yet? Trying to think of ways to induce it.. orange juice? Vitamin C!
Haha - stress is completely ok and completely normal.
Yes egg collection was a "breeze" with various tablets and injections on a time scale... I'm a bit lost as to what to do now.
Frustrating as my satellite clinic doesn't do blood results the same day so I have to go to another satellite clinic for my bloods every 2 or so days which is 2 hours away!
Drinking my pomegranate juice trying to thicken lining and watching a movie trying to switch off from it all 

@badassmum22 yes! I have booked into fertility yoga on Thursday but counciling also sounds good, sending you lots of luck. X

@RMS0209
im okay I’m just trying to keep busy until day 1 of my cycle you know then it all starts from there, just want to start now, the wait just feels like forever! How about you?

i just take it as it comes I do if I’m honest cause it’s such a hard process anyway we got to be kind to ourselves
just relax as much as you can
not long now we’re nearly there!
fingers crossed we get the perfect Christmas miracle ❤️💙

neuroticteachermummy · 03/11/2022 15:07

Hi, I hope you don’t mind if I join in? Just spoken to my clinic today and looking at a FET at the end of November/start of December. This will be my fifth (and final) fet - two bfn in 2018, then a successful transfer giving me my gorgeous girl in 2019. Had my 4th fet back in June which sadly ended in a mc at 8 weeks. I still feel pretty broken tbh but I’ve decided to move forward.
good luck to you all, this process is exhausting and all-consuming xx

badassmum22 · 03/11/2022 21:56

@neuroticteachermummy Welcome! Sorry to hear about your last transfer. IVF can be so cruel. Good luck to us all this time xx

Rtmhwales · 04/11/2022 02:59

Can I join? I'm doing my second medicated FET, embryo transfer on 9 November. Starting progesterone injections tonight (ow!).

Last one implanted but ended up ectopic. I'm nervous to be going through this again, have a bad premonition this one won't implant at all.

Previous history of a baby boy with XH. DH has two boys as well with his ex. But we've had a missed miscarriage, chemical, missed miscarriage again and onto IVF in May. The July transfer ended up ectopic and I had to wait to try again and here we are..

RMS0209 · 04/11/2022 08:40

Welcome @neuroticteachermummy & @Rtmhwales sending you both lots of luck.
So sorry to hear the sad stories that come with both of you, I hope we all get our happy ending ❤️

Cycle day 9... first blood test 🤞🏻 reckon I will be back for a few before we have progress 😂 happy Friday all. X

Morning, how is everyone getting on? I have started my meds this weekend and transfer provisionally booked for 30th xx

SadieBarts · 15/11/2022 16:03

Jumping on this thread, I am due FET on 22nd/23rd depending when I surge, which I was told is any time this evening or tomorrow. Terrified this cycle will get canx again, I have had 3 already canx :(

Piapea · 15/11/2022 19:47

Hey everyone!
I'm in the same boat as you @SadieBarts. My LH surge will probably be tomorrow or Thursday which means my transfer will be Monday or Tuesday next week. Do you have any idea what's causing your transfers to be cancelled?

SadieBarts · 15/11/2022 20:20

I got my surge this evening :) Yes, my uterus lining keeps failing. 1st cycle was medicated & didn't get thick enough. 2nd was natural & it got to 9mm but then I took progesterone & bleed. 3rd modified natural, but didn't get thick enough. I had to beg for this cycle as I am waiting for date of Hysteroscopy. So glad I did, I did a few things different which seem to work. Now nervous to start progesterone again, but I'm taking estrogen with it this time. I'll be devastated if I bleed again.

How are you feeling for this cycle.

RMS0209 · 15/11/2022 20:56

Cycle day 20, bloods still showing no surge yet... next bloods Friday, hoping I'm next week like you guys 🤞🏻🤞🏻

OP posts:
RMS0209 · 17/11/2022 14:26

Cycle day 23 tomorrow, blood tests!
hoping for a surge.
How is anybody? Anybody got any updates? X

OP posts:
Piapea · 17/11/2022 15:31

I'm on cycle day 16.. the smile face has been flashing away at me for 2 days but no surge yet. Hopefully tomorrow. That would mean transfer on Tuesday or Wednesday😀

RMS0209 · 19/11/2022 10:44

Well, I'm out this cycle... body isn't responding the way it should for a natural cycle, so hopefully starting a medicated cycle middle of Dec.
Sending you all luck ❤️

Piapea · 19/11/2022 14:02

@RMS0209
Me too.. the nurse didn't like the look of my ovulation this month so she said I should wait until next month. My transfer date would be relly close to Christmas though and I had planned to fly to see my parents. I don't know if I would want to take a flight one day after transfer but I really don't want to wait until January😒
Hope you're ok, it's so shit to start making progrss and then be pushed back to the beginning again.
