May 2025 FET

I thought I would start a thread for those scheduled for a FET in May.

Had egg collection in Feb, feels like forever ago now.

I have just started a medicated FET cycle. Started taking norethisterone today. Provisional transfer scheduled for May 27th.

Anyone else on a similar timeline?

@SparklyGreenTiger Awh the biggest congrats!! Such great news!! How are you feeling?
Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling great today @spamOFtheDAY, this journey is such a rollercoaster of emotions and there’s always something to worry about 😢 my husband has been getting on my nerves too but I think it’s just me being hormonal due to all the meds.

Ive used up my last test and need to somehow disable my Amazon account so that I don’t give in and buy more. Wish me luck 😅

Hit post too soon!! Good luck with staying away from Amazon! The infertility rollercoaster is the toughest test with more downs than ups but fingers crossed we all get the positive outcomes we are hoping for!

Its been 7 days now since my embryo transfer and I'm starting to go a little bit crazy , thinking is it going to happen? is my period going to start? I want to test early but don't want to at the same time!
How's everyone else getting on ?

camelinastorm · 14/05/2025 12:52

@YourBusyZebra I'm 5 days past and it's torture, I have no symptoms at all so it's very disheartening, really want to test but also don't want to test it's so emotional. Have you had any symptoms

YourBusyZebra · 14/05/2025 13:03

@camelinastorm aww I wouldn't worry about not having any symptoms, I've heard so many people feel nothing and it still turns out positive and it's still very early 😁
I've had a constant feeling that something is going on, like an ache but I can't tell if it's because I'm thinking about it or if it's actually real. It definitely messes with your head.
I've been thinking about testing but I think it would really knock me down if I test now and it's negative.

PixieJxoxo · 14/05/2025 15:18

@camelinastorm 5dp is mega early still, so it might not even show up on a hpt this soon! When is your OTD?

@YourBusyZebra you're doing really well to have held off for a week, you're in the home stretch now. I found not having any tests in the house really helpful in staving off testing early.

My OTD is tomorrow - still having lots of symptoms (exhaustion, nausea, heartburn, enhanced sense of smell, backache) and beginning to think perhaps something is happening and it's not just all down to the progesterone. Less than 24 hours to go! I may just test at minute and send an email to my clinic at 12:01 haha!

YourBusyZebra · 14/05/2025 15:29

@PixieJxoxo that's really exciting! I can imagine how nervous you must feel and wishing you all the good luck and positive vibes for testing tomorrow!❤️
I have tests in the house but not the ultra sensitive ones so definitely trying to avoid them

Toryory21 · 14/05/2025 15:57

Hey guys do you mind if I tag on here (although I did a fresh transfer) I am 7dp5dt so same day as you @YourBusyZebra. Trying to not think about it too much but failing .. obviously x

YourBusyZebra · 14/05/2025 16:20

@Toryory21 it's not easy to distract yourself 😅Even when I'm at work it's still constantly on my mind. When is your test date?

Toryory21 · 14/05/2025 16:29

@YourBusyZebra oh totally!!! I’m not sure what’s worse waiting for the day 5 embryo update or this though. My test date is Monday 19th although I may test over the weekend if my period hasn’t arrived as I don’t want to start my week on a bad note. Is yours the same date?

The one and only time I have had a transfer previously was with an early day 5 ungraded blast (only one that made it so the only one to transfer) and my period started in the evening on 8dp5dt so I’m predicting AF to show up tomo if this hasn’t worked again. Have you had transfers previously or is this your first (and hopefully last)? Xx

YourBusyZebra · 14/05/2025 16:38

@Toryory21 my test date is the 22nd may and yeh this is my first time. Everything seems to have gone really well with it but I'm still not holding out hope for it working first time.
Hopefully it will be a success for you the 2nd time round ❤️

Toryory21 · 14/05/2025 17:04

@YourBusyZebra hope everything goes smoothly for you!!! X

spamOFtheDAY · 14/05/2025 18:31

My more sensitive tests arrived today so looks like I’m testing tomorrow
don’t have high hopes so expecting to be crying a lot the next couple of days
should have ordered some tissues too 😞

Anniekent1 · 14/05/2025 18:51

Totally in the same feels as you all. Hit that mid TWW point of 8dpt where desperate to test but also want to cling onto hope as long as I can. Good luck for those testing tomorrow will be thinking of you ! I’m going to try and hold out till Saturday (OTD is Monday at 13DPT) so that I can have the weekend to deal with whatever outcome.

All the hugs 🤍

Impatientlywaiting321 · 14/05/2025 20:12

@Toryory21 @Anniekent1 my OTD is also on Monday the 19th - I’m thinking of testing on Sunday. Will you guys still be using early response tests or regular ones?

mumtrovert · 14/05/2025 22:21

@spamOFtheDAY @PixieJxoxo good luck testing tomorrow. Hoping for 2 lines for you both!

Nothing much going on with me recently, (except SO gassy on estrogen 🙈). I have my lining scan tomorrow so hoping everything is as it should be & I can start my progesterone.

spamOFtheDAY · 15/05/2025 07:02

Undeniably BFN

good luck to everyone else still in 🤞

@mumtrovert hope all goes well with your lining scan today!

FrostedFlake · 15/05/2025 08:52

I’m so sorry @spamOFtheDAY this is such a tough journey and I hope you take the time to look after yourself ❤️

Toryory21 · 15/05/2025 08:56

@spamOFtheDAY I am so sorry please look after yourself and be kind to yourself.

@Impatientlywaiting321 oh god I don’t know I was just going to use the cheap ones and test either Saturday or Sunday if my period doesn’t arrive before then. I actually just don’t want to know right now.

FrostedFlake · 15/05/2025 09:39

I’m kind of over testing, it won’t make a difference in the end and it just stresses me out. My husband was even asking me why I haven’t tested 😅

how’s everyone feeling?

any transfers this week?

YourBusyZebra · 15/05/2025 09:42

@spamOFtheDAY so sorry it's not the result you wanted😞 sending hugs❤️ you should go out and treat yourself ❤️
