FET May 2023

Hi! I am scheduled for a FET in May and wondered if anybody might want to join who is in a similar position.

I had ICSI in 2020. A fresh transfer resulted in DD being born in 2021. We are doing a FET from an embryo we had of that round of ICSI.

Yep transfer this Thurs.

That's a good start @Irisjj - fingers crossed those numbers keep going up. My clinic don't do BETAs, it's just a pregnancy test for us

grcrobbo · 22/05/2023 17:48

@Irisjj - I’m ok but had a bit of a wobble yesterday as thought my test looked lighter. Darker again today but still not super dark - I’m 12dpt today so shouldn’t it be darker?

Going to the clinic on Wednesday so praying for a good number 🙏🏼

@Purtyburty @Createmagik @grcrobbo @NaomiNatNat how are you all doing? Xx

@MaybeBabyTwo your transfer is this week right? Good luck!

I just got the results from my first beta at 11DP5DT - according to the doc a solid 439 ❤️ next draw on Wednesday and then Friday 🍀🤞🏻🌈

@Irisjj That is a great solid result indeed! Congratulations :-)

Createmagik · 22/05/2023 19:21

O.K. Second Beta back only 3.9 so not a sticky one for us....

NaomiNatNat · 22/05/2023 19:39

@Irisjj Looking good 🩵🩷 🥳 I'm ok, but getting af sensations. Feel like she's about to show! Honestly don't feel it has worked.

NaomiNatNat · 22/05/2023 19:50

@Createmagik Hugs 🫂

Irisjj · 22/05/2023 19:55

@Createmagik im so sorry.. this process is so unfair😢 sending you a lot of strength ❤️

@grcrobbo it still looks like progression! Sending you positive vibes and hope you have a sticky bean 🍀✨

MaybeBabyTwo · 22/05/2023 20:11

@Createmagik I'm so sorry 😫 this process is so awful.

@grcrobbo I think they still look good and my clinic wouldn't have even told you to test yet so I'd say they're great for where you are! Keep the faith xx

grcrobbo · 22/05/2023 20:30

@Createmagik - I’m so sorry. I’ve been there and it’s just crap.

@MaybeBabyTwo - thank you. Just hard to have any confidence after so much prior loss. X

Createmagik · 22/05/2023 21:28

Thank you everyone for your thoughts - I wish you all the best for your journey and want to see lots of sticky babies !!!

NaomiNatNat · 23/05/2023 19:20

So I tested today at 7dpt and it's a stark white 🙃 anyone have any late bfp stories, need some hope 🙏

Baby dust to everyone ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

MaybeBabyTwo · 23/05/2023 19:45

@NaomiNatNat you're not out until you're test date and out.... but I'm exactly the same. What type of test did you use? X

NaomiNatNat · 23/05/2023 20:22

@MaybeBabyTwo I used the amazon cheapos but they are really good as I've used them to test out the hcg trigger in the past.
Got some af cramps and today is the day she's meant to visit!

How are you feeling? 🩷✨️

Magic2023 · 23/05/2023 22:14

Hi can i join? Im currently 6dp5dt from an fet, with a 4cc embryo. Was worried about the quality but the embryologist said it looked good 🤷‍♀️ had 31 eggs collected but only ended up with 2 blasts. This is my first ever transfer and getting dull cramps mainly on one side, and so so bloated!

Purtyburty · 24/05/2023 07:35

@NaomiNatNat I don't have any experience of late positives but I am in the same position. I am currently 9dp5dt and haven't tested since 7dp5dt when I got a bfn.

@NaomiNatNat and @Purtyburty holding onto hope for you both xxx

Transfer tomorrow, I feel so down already, like I 'know' it isn't going to work. Awful feeling.

KiaoraCrow · 24/05/2023 10:45

Hi ladies. Anyone mind if I join in too please? Im feeling so up and down, hoping sharing journeys with others will help a bit.
I’m 5dp5dt. With an AB (I’m not sure my clinic uses the same terms but it took an extra day to reach blastocyst so I guess technically a 6dt. Was hatching when it was transferred). Sore boobs suddenly vanished yesterday morning and I did a clear blue this morning and it was negative. I drink a lot of water in the night so my urine wasn’t concentrated, and technically I won’t be “at” 5 days post transfer until this afternoon as it was done at 2.30pm but am aware I’m looking for excuses to ignore the negative test result.

Weve had 3 egg collections, around 30 eggs in total and about 13 blasts sent for PGTA and this is the only one that’s ever come back euploid 🙏.

I have had the same thoughts about v light cramping and “will AF arrive?” But surely if you’re taking progesterone then it will stop AF coming even if it wanted to? so the cramps etc must just be normal and not related 🤞🤞🤞. I had light cramping even before my transfer and at that point told myself to remember this when I start reading into all the little twinges post transfer. Easier said than done though, I know.

NaomiNatNat · 24/05/2023 15:47

So not doing the beta tomorrow now as the clinic in my area is closed, not able to do it Friday and Monday is bank holiday so closed.

My clinic has advised I do a home test but on Sunday. Will get a couple of the best preg tests out there, frer and clear blue I reckon.

So me on Sunday AM 😅

Rachel2145 · 24/05/2023 20:20

Hi all! Hoping to jump in. Did FET on May 17 with 5 day blast and have had weird reaction to progesterone suppositories… mostly joint pain reminiscent of what I get leading up to periods. Which is making me feel very negative about this cycle. Was thinking of doing HPT tomorrow 8dp5dt, and skipping the 2 hour drive to weekend clinic on Saturday for beta if it’s positive (and waiting to go to local clinic on Tuesday). But going in on the weekend if HPT is negative so I can stop progesterone sooner. I’m terrified to do the HPT, was hoping for some encouragement to get on with it. Also… anyone had weird progesterone side effects?

MaybeBabyTwo · 24/05/2023 20:41

@Rachel2145 sorry to hear you're suffering, medication is so hard on our bodies. I get really horrid cramps with progesterone, its grim. At 8dp5dt you're very likely to get the correct response, especially on a FRER, so maybe it is worth a shot?

Rachel2145 · 25/05/2023 00:59

Thank you for the encouragement @MaybeBabyTwo . Hoping to wake up in am with some courage to go for it.

Irisjj · 25/05/2023 01:18

@Rachel2145 you should probably get a reliable result by tomorrow. I already had faint lines by 5dp5dt and by 8 they were def very visible. Hopefully good news ❤️🤞🏻

for the rest of you waiting for testing - hope there is going to be lots of good news😘

Irisjj · 25/05/2023 01:20

@grcrobbo how are you doing? Hopefully the lines are getting darker ❤️

@MaybeBabyTwo good luck tomorrow with your transfer!

NaomiNatNat · 25/05/2023 06:34

@MaybeBabyTwo Good luck with your transfer xx
