May 2025 FET

[Raegs]

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?

Guys I just did a FRER and it is undeniably positive!

Yayyyyyy brilliant news !! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Absolutely brilliant news!! Congratulations 🎉🎉

@OneQuirkyPanda im delighted for you!!! The biggest congrats! I think this is the first positive test of the thread ❤️❤️ I hope you have set the trend 😘

Thank you guys, I can’t quite believe it! I’m in shock, this was our only embryo and was a 4CC so I didn’t think I had much chance at all!

Wow thats absolutely amazing. Congratulations!!!

Congratulations @OneQuirkyPanda amazing news!!!

Congratulations @OneQuirkyPanda !! That is such exciting news, first positive of the thread ✨💕

The wait sounds so tough, thinking of you @Anniekent1 @FrostedFlake @PixieJxoxo @camelinastorm and everyone else. Hope you’ve managed to enjoy the sunshine a little, although agree that it would be nicer with a glass of wine! I’m feeling much less alone reading your updates, even though I’m a couple of weeks behind you all, so thanks for sharing your journeys.

Sorry to hear about your injury @Anniekent1 , that sounds very frustrating to be dealing with on top of the waiting…

Hi @Blueskycat thank you for your message I’m glad our experiences are making you feel a little less alone

yes very frustrating and feeling very silly with myself. Just praying that the embryo still doing its thing in there even if I can’t feel anything. Kinda know deep down the outcome but still trying to have PUPO hope. When do you start your timings with things ?

That's great news! Congrats 🎉 ❤️

@Anniekent1 I don’t have any experience of pregnancy, but plenty of people have success stories without any symptoms until much later on so I’m really hoping that’s the case for you. I get that it is hard to stay hopeful though. And that some days are harder than others…

I’ve got my lining scan on Friday and then hopefully will get a transfer day for the following week. Feels like forever away but I know it will come round soon enough. In the meantime I’m hoping for lots more BFPs on this thread!

Congratulations @OneQuirkyPanda !!! Amazing news. So happy for you!

Huge fingers crossed for you all waiting to test.

3rd time of applying my estrogen patches and I’ve got sticky marks all over where the others were! 🙈

@OneQuirkyPanda wow super congratulations!!!! I'm only on 2 days past and no symptoms at all hoping it sticks 😬

@Blueskycatthank you appreciate you trying to calm my nerves. I def going to try and quit with the symptom spotting. I did have a few cramps today snd kind of sunk in for me even if I do get them I won’t be able to tell between progesterone so it doesn’t make me feel better anyway 😅

are you doing a natural or medicated cycle. How you feeling about your lining scan ? Lots of beetroot juice and pomegranate !

@Anniekent1 I was feeling really down yesterday as I don’t think I have any symptoms that aren’t progesterone injection related so I started loosing hope. I spoke to the clinic and they said that it’s very common to not have symptoms and it’s still so early. It’s made my mindset slightly shift today, I just wanted to share this with you as I do know how you feel, but let’s hold on to that hope ❤️

Thanks for posting this as I’ve been feeling down as I don’t feel any different to my normal self (apart from injection site soreness).
thats nice your clinic are approachable and put you at ease (I feel like I’m being a burden even if I need to clarify a medication error 🙄)

what dpt are you now?

@spamOFtheDAY@Impatientlywaiting321 exactly this!! I don’t know why we lose all sense of logic when it comes to the TWW. feel bit better this morning about it all and all of that makes complete sense. Thank you for sharing it does make you feel better knowing you not going crazy on your own

how is everyone else feeling. Looking forward to seeing all the positives this week from everyone ✨

@spamOFtheDAY the number of silly questions I’ve ask them they must think I’m insane - but I just have to ask or I’ll overthink it for days (including straight after the transfer “I’m scared to go for a wee, what if the embryo drops out” even though I knew the answer 🫠).

The injection site soreness is pretty horrible - I’ve even thought that could be masking any other discomfort in my body - can you tell I’m trying everything to stay an optimist!

I am 5dp5dt today - woken up slightly unsure but reminding myself of what I said yesterday! @Anniekent1 I have definitely lost all logic at this point. I have convinced myself if I stay positive all will be well!

I have said all that and just spent the last hour crying!

@Impatientlywaiting321oh hun I’m sorry you have been upset. This process along with all the hormones shifts are such a bugger. Sending you so much hugs and please know you are not alone. We all feel this with you. This is such a monumental time and has such physical and emotional weight attached that if you were not feeling all over the place then I would be more worried

try and trust your body and the process and we are here for you !

Time for a silly question… I need to finish decorating our bedroom. My mum has said she’ll help us, but it’s on the 25th (I’ll be 3dpt then). Do you think I’d be okay painting? I wasn’t sure if the smell of it would be damaging (although I couldn’t really smell anything when we started a few weeks ago) and I’ll likely be on my knees doing bits at the bottom etc, I’ll try not to bend.. what do we think? My job is fairly physical too so I can’t see it being much different to that. Am I being OTT??

We’d have to also sleep in that room afterwards.. hmmm I think I’ve put myself off now nevermind!

@mumtrovert I’m not sure about the toxicity of the paint and if you can really air the room out but this is such a long and stressful process that I personally wouldn’t want to do anything too strenuous or be breathing potential fumes, but everyone has their own comfort level. I’d wait a bit and also try and really air out the room before sleeping there.

I’m feeling completely defeated by this whole process today. I have done a test even though I know it’s extremely early still 5dp5dt but it’s pretty much stark white. There’s the tiniest hint of a line if you tilt it a certain way and that could be an evap line. I’ve asked my husband to hide the remaining pregnancy tests but I don’t think this is going to be the one for us. I do hope I’m wrong though 🥹

@mumtrovert honestly, i agree with @FrostedFlake , but I do tend to err on the side of caution with these things. I think I'd always be left with the question "did that impact implantation/the embryo/the pregnancy", so to save myself the worry, I'd avoid. but again, as mentioned, everyone has their own comfort levels with these things!

@FrostedFlake sorry to hear about your negative, but as you say it's still SUPER early! If you only implanted a few days ago, that's barely any time to produce HCG. I know how hard it is to not test, but I think a wise decision to get your husband to hide them. What are you up to today? I found distraction to be the ultimate key to staying sane
