Frozen transfer May 2024

[Ohwow2022]

Just started progynova and feeling floored. Anyone else in the same boat? I'm on 6mg a day, scan booked for next Monday with the hope of frozen transfer w/c 20th.

👋🏻Hello! My FET is also booked for Wednesday 22nd May.. and I’m absolutely terrified. That’s the best word for it. Terrified of another negative outcome. We had our first round of IVF in January, which ended in no implantation at all - started bleeding a week after transfer. Then rather miraculously, we had a natural conception the first cycle afterwards, which ended in a chemical. That’s after years of not a single whiff of a positive test - we were totally bamboozled. Infertility is due to twisted tubes, stage II Endo and low AMH, first IVF got 22 eggs, 14 fertilised and 6 embryos at the end (AABBCC). My consultant is really positive for us, as my lining is always great, the embryos are good and my cycles have always been clockwork. But I’ve read far too many negative stories on here.. my hope is low.

I appreciate that in IVF world, our journey hasn’t been extremely long.. but after quite a few rather traumatic life events over the last decade, my mental health is plummeting with this. Also had four close friends announce pregnancy since my failed IVF.. which have all floored me. I’m just so sad and angry about it - especially as my health has always been a huge priority my entire life. Nothing makes sense to me.

Just totally terrified. I’ve had an intermittent upset stomach since my failed IVF! Sending love and positivity to all of you - truly.

I’ve got to the point where I think things like this are totally out of ours hands. In the lap of the gods.

@TorrentialHighSeas Thank you ❤️ feeling quite tired, I think everything is catching up with me. How are you?

@Rainbowsunshine81 yeah, it's tiring and you've also been travelling which must make it even harder.

I've been super tired too. Lots of naps over the weekend. Am feeling very crampy and a bit nauseous and now just anxiously awaiting time to test!

@TorrentialHighSeas definitely has that's for sure.
It is an anxious time, whilst you're waiting to test. What date do you do the test?

Good luck @Ohwow2022 and @GoldenRetriever1 with your transfers today! Sending sticky vibes, and hope you’re able to have a relaxing day afterwards.

Thank you to everyone for the lining tips, have added in the beetroot juice, tastes absolutely vile but I’ll try anything at this point!

Thank you so much! Oh I've a bottle of beetroot juice in the fridge haven't opened it lol

@RubyLemonade Thank you. Very nervous for the TWW ahead. Feels like there’s so much pressure for it to work out. 😭 x

@Ohwow2022 Wishing you all the best for today. Full moon tomorrow (if you’re into that kind of thing).. got to have unwavering faith in our bodies. They know what to do x

I don’t mind the beetroot juice so much 😂. I’m about a week behind you guys.

Wish me luck guys. Got my FET next week. Hope you’re all doing ok

Good luck @StuffLoriThangs !!
I'm 2dp5dt and my head is turned!!
I hope you are feeling OK about next week.

@StuffLoriThangs Lots of luck for your fet ❤️

How does everyone cope whilst waiting to do their test? I'm trying not to think about it too much.

Had my fet this afternoon! Official test date 7 June, so long away.
Haven’t a clue how to cope with the wait, other than trying to carry on with my life as normally as possible to avoid roller coaster emotions.
Who tests early and who waits?!

@Wonderwalter my test date is next Wed, I'm going to be good and not test early. Feeling anxious about doing a test. I've been trying to keep busy, read a few books, been our and about.

@Rainbowsunshine81 got everything crossed for you. I’m also very nervous, especially with trying the immune protocol- hoping it works but also worried I’m adding new things when I’ve previously had successful implantation.
i don’t really understand it all enough to wonder whether I should have allowed implantation and then started intralipids/steroids… just fingers crossed and hope for the best.

@Wonderwalter I'll have everything crossed for you too. I too hope that having the intraplids will help, never had them before. But having had the natural killer cell blood test and one of them coming back higher than it should be, my consultant recommended the intraplids as the result I had put you at higher risk of something going wrong and this time I didn't put to put anything to chance. Was there a reason why you were put on the intraplids/steroids?

@Rainbowsunshine81 they just offered three things - intralipids, a neupogen cavity wash and steroids. I had high slightly elevated nk cells in blood and slightly low in endometrium - was recommended the neupogen cavity wash which I had 5 days before transfer and was also recommended steroids. I chose to also have the intralipids - partly because I heard of people having success with it, and partly just to throw everything in and see what happens as a learning process.
i really don’t know enough about nk cells to know what I’m doing, I can’t even interpret my results compared to other people’s. I’m with CRGH and they have very much just said it’s all untested so up to you. Haven’t found that very helpful but desperate to try something after miscarrying at 7/8 weeks a couple of times.
which clinic are you with? Have they explained much to you?

@Wonderwalter I'm with Abbey fertility clinic in Chester and had my transfer over in Cyprus. I have a history of miscarriage and last transfer which was last year was a chemical, up until now there hasn't been a reason for why it's all happened, so when my consultant discussed this test I thought well at least I'd know either way. I've read up on reproductive immunology, the book is your body baby friendly was quite informative. My bloods were sent over to Chicago and then my consultant wrote to me with the results and what they meant. I managed to get that book on vinted aswell.

Posted on another thread thinking it was this one

Morning all, I'm struggling at the moment. 3dp5dt keep wanting to test, but I know it's far too early! I'm not sure how I can last to test day (3 June). tbh my period will be due next weekend, so if it comes, then it is obviously over.
What's everyone doing for relaxation ? I'd a friend visit yesterday, which helped. How is everyone ? I'm on progynova and cycloyest, I'm tired all the time! This is our 3rd transfer, 1st transfer we'd a baby boy & our 2nd ended in 8 week mmc. I'm so scared this won't work, we've only 1 more frozen embryo.

@Ohwow2022 I’m so tired too! Awaiting FET but deary me. This brings me back to my other (unsuccessful) pregnancies.

im struggling with anxiety and relaxation, but im trying to keep walking for exercise and trying a bit of meditation. But I was doing that before, so I’ve had a bit of practice. It’s so hard. At least now I can feel a bit more optimistic, as it’s always (the FET) seemed so far away before

@Ohwow2022 stay positive! It’s worked before so it very well could again! It’s hard though I know.

i managed to hold out a long time with testing this time. Did it two evenings before my OTD this time because I did not want to get a negative test before work. I was convinced it was negative so didn’t want to test so I could live in hope in the end.

I’m not so good with relaxing! I just kept myself busy with friends and work and doing fun things! It didn’t work. I still obsessed over it!!

Same. Mine is Thursday

Anyone any advice on steps I can take to improve chances

Also can I learn more about interlipids? My clinic never mentioned them

When are you guys doing them and how often

@DauntedAF no intralipids for me
