FET December 2022

Hello!

Is anyone else scheduled to have a FET in Dec? I had my egg collection at the end of October and as we did PGT-A testing we're doing a FET in my next cycle. I've been given an estimated transfer date of 5 December.

Would love to speak with others who will be going through this at the same time!

@Rtmhwales OMG!!!! 🥳🥳🥳❤️ Wednesday will be here is no time! We are staying on the positivity train that the split just wasn't visible✨️🚂✨️and remember a week ago twin B wasn't visible soooo...

I am so excited for you, not so much about the bleeding but two babieeeees! 🥰

@Happyface82 I go back for the next ultrasound on Wednesday. I'm sure work is thrilled with how much IVF related time I've had off but they're ace in general.

If it is MCMA/MoMo twins and progresses I will be having weekly or every second weekly scans because it's so worrisome. I went down the rabbit hole last night as this type can be conjoined as well and he said they're incredibly close together at this point.

On the one hand - twins! How exciting.
On the other hand - the most rare, dangerous kind.

It'll be a slow wait to Wednesday and then a slow wait to 12 weeks. Dr Google says there's only a 50/50 chance of survival to 12 weeks if it is this kind.

Hopefully everyone can keep their fingers crossed it's wrong and they're actually MCDA twins and we just can't see the divide yet.

@Yoga817 exciting!

@Yoga817 sorry no idea why my fat fingers clicked to @ you!

Yoga817 · 13/01/2023 15:35

@Rtmhwales A lot to take in for you. I can totally understand how you feel, let's hope for the best outcome. Will be thinking of you in your scan on Wednesday. They will be able to see a lot more with a few days passing. The bleeding is so scary and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that bleeding can happen (and very heavy bleeding) and the baby turns out to be fine. The same thing happened to us after the bleed we went for a scan with our clinic and they found a heartbeat. Was quite unbelievable.

As for me, we had another scan yesterday and twin A is growing nicely. Only measuring 4 days behind now so has caught up by a day since last scan, it also has a strong heartbeat. Twin B surprised us in the sense that we can now see a fetal pole, which wasn't visible before and we were told to prepare ourselves for seeing no growth, however it's measuring 9 days behind, we thought we could see a heartbeat but it wasn't clear, so the ivf clinic are doing another scan on 24th Jan when I'll be 9+1. It just feels like we can't relax and enjoy the pregnancy you know? Each scan inconclusive relating to twin B. I really am worried that twin B could disrupt twin A if it miscarries, but I guess it should be ok as they're in separate sacs? The babies are completely kicking my butt with symptoms. I threw up 4X yesterday and the foods that I can tolerate is now down to a small list. I also can't stand water which is problematic. Struggle is real!

@Rtmhwales you must feel exhausted - and twins! 😍 We will all be thinking of you on Wednesday and sending positivity your way 🤗 Like others have said it's so hard to see any detail when they're so tiny so hopefully they will be able to see more and give you good news in the next scan xx

RoseLlo · 13/01/2023 17:34

@Yoga817 glad to hear twin A is doing so well and they're keeping a good eye on twin B ☺️ I'm sorry you're not able to relax completely with all of this going on. Fingers crossed things will start to settle down soon and you can start enjoying it 💕xx

Rtmhwales · 13/01/2023 17:52

@Yoga817 happy to hear about Twin A. My clinic originally said Twin B's often grow quite a bit behind but it doesn't necessarily mean anything bad (when we were waiting to see if emrbyo B would implant). What has your clinic said or is it just watch and see? When's the next scan?

Happyface82 · 14/01/2023 18:37

@Rtmhwales keeping my fingers crossed for good news on Wednesday!! Two of my best friends had identical twins and I remember their stress very well!! Big hugs to you and Wednesday will be here in no time.

Happyface82 · 14/01/2023 18:38

@Yoga817 not long for you either!! Keeping my fingers crossed!! I'm sure Twin B will catch up!!

Happyface82 · 14/01/2023 18:39

As for me I have my scan on Tuesday afternoon. I can't wait to see what's happening!! Feeling really rough and so exhausted. I put it down to age....

Rtmhwales · 14/01/2023 19:53

@Happyface82 Tuesday will be here before you know it! Are they still tracking your beta or do you just wait until the scan now?

SPR40 · 15/01/2023 05:55

@Yoga817 Yay, happy to hear the update on the scan ✨️❤️ the struggle is very real on the nausea and I hope you are keeping well xxx

@Happyface82 Tuesday will be here is no time, you must be so excited. 🥰

@Rtmhwales I'm keeping positive and hope you get a clearer update on Wednesday. Just remember they didn't see Twin B in the first scan...funnily though you seemed to suspect they were there by your posts at the time ❤️✨️

Happyface82 · 15/01/2023 07:35

@Rtmhwales no beta testing any more!! Just have to wait. Judging by the symptoms Im hoping all is going super!! Hahaha

Rtmhwales · 18/01/2023 00:07

@Happyface82 Hopefully all went well today

Happyface82 · 18/01/2023 06:40

@Rtmhwales came home so late last night as we had an event at work right after the scan.

All went well. It's twins after all!!!! We heard 1 heartbeat and saw the 2nd. Doctor didn't want to hear the 2nd as it's still early and he didn't want to stress the baby. Twin A measuring 6+6 and Twin B measuring 6+1. He said to go back in 1 month. Eeeeeeeeek!

SPR40 · 18/01/2023 09:51

@Happyface82 you knew all along too lol. Awww all the twinnies in this group 🥰 I hope you are super happy!

I can't imagine how unwell you guys are feeling as I have 1 and I am absolutely exhausted and nauseous constantly lol xxx

Yoga817 · 18/01/2023 10:02

@Happyface82 Wow that's amazing! Congrats! How many weeks are you now?

Happyface82 · 18/01/2023 11:32

@SPR40 indeed I feel horrible! Hahaha But it will be worth it! So excited! Though quite nervous! Hubby is super excited too!

@Yoga817 I'm 7 weeks tomorrow so still very early days.

Happyface82 · 18/01/2023 11:33

Oh and the kids are super super excited bless them. They are 10 and 13 years old!!

Rtmhwales · 18/01/2023 21:36

All good over here today with the identical twins. Still uncertain if they're MoMo or MoDi but they don't appear to be conjoined which was a big concern.

Both measuring exactly the days they should with baby A's heart rate at 156 and Baby B's at 165.

Finally some good news. Sounds like two more weeks of progesterone in oil injections, an ultrasound on 30 January and then I move on to the high risk OB GYN.

Happyface82 · 18/01/2023 22:04

@Rtmhwales aw such great news!!! Sounds like all is going well! So happy for you!! You must be relieved. I bet you can't wait to go back in and check on them!!

SPR40 · 19/01/2023 08:47

@Rtmhwales yay fantastic news!!!! 🥰

Hope everyone is well, well as well as we can be with the nausea and fatigue xxx

RoseLlo · 19/01/2023 11:05

@Rtmhwales and @Happyface82 so excited to see your news 🥳
@SPR40😊 Hope everyone is well xx

Yoga817 · 24/01/2023 14:42

Hope everyone is doing well? We had a scan today at 9+1 and had confirmation of a viable twin pregnancy! We have officially graduated from our clinic. One baby is measuring only 3 days behind now and the other is measuring 5 days behind so they have caught up. The GP has referred me to a consultant already as apparently I'm high risk due to age, twins, ivf pregnancy, previous surgery etc. it's all happening eek! I hope you're all doing well xx

SPR40 · 24/01/2023 18:01

@Yoga817 yaaaaay!!!! I am so pleased for you! Happy Graduation Day!!! Glad to hear the babies are both doing well 🥰🥳xxxx
