Is anyone else doing a FET in Spetember?
I have got one good quality embryo and going to implant in September.
Anyone else doing the same? Would be good to chat to help with all this waiting!!

Thank you.

@MintOwl Congratulations on your great news. How are you feeling? Have you had your scan yet?
@MyAgileZebra How far along the process are you? I think we are going to test next Sunday, so the day before the OTD but as the days go on, I'm feeling more and more tempted. How about you?
@StillBelieving2 Is yours a fresh transfer or frozen? Mine was frozen, I had my scan on the Thursday and then the transfer the following Wednesday. I had to start on pegesterone the day after the scan. They may be able to tell you tomorrow re timescales.

@ForPearlBird I'm 4 DPT too. I know I won't last until OTD, I have 8dpt in my head but may give in before then.

ForPearlBird · 14/09/2025 19:28

@MyAgileZebra oh great we can count down together. My thoughts too, I'm thinking if its worked, you'd think it will show by 8 days.
How are you feeling? Is this your first transfer?

MyAgileZebra · 14/09/2025 19:50

@ForPearlBird I don't have any symptoms, even though I know it's only the meds that cause them I'd feel better if I had some. I had a fresh transfer in March but found out at the 7 week scan that it was an empty sac. How about you? Have you had previous transfers?

Kr0 · 14/09/2025 21:09

Welcome @ForPearlBird

@StillBelieving2mine was 13 days after my scan.

Hi everyone, its so lovely reading all your messages of everyone going through similar experiences together. Unfortunately I tested this morning 10dpt and got a negative. Official test day is tomorrow but in my gut I know its unlikely. No real sign of period but I guess the progesterone is probably holding it off. I knew that I would be devastated and its been a hard day but I am so grateful to have our daughter from a previous fresh transfer. I think I just absolutely assumed this was going to work so I need to work through the grief of what I had imagined our near future to be. I don't think I want any further treatment so I think for us it's just working through our feelings and getting on with what life now has to hold.

Good luck to everyone till in the two week wait - sensing positive vibes to you all xxxx

@Ephesus1010 sorry to hear it didn't work. Look after yourself, it's such a tough process xx

SarahAndQuack · 15/09/2025 09:57

May I join in please? I'm on day 2 and just started estradiol.

I'm struggling a bit emotionally. I'm on my own so it feels a bit lonely. I can't really wait around as I'm 40. I did a round of IVF last year with a gay friend of mine; we got four aneuploid embryos and it absolutely wrecked that friendship. I tried again with donor sperm this time, and got one euploid. I'm finding it really hard to feel hopeful at all.

I'm so sorry to read this. It absolutely is a grief to work through. Be really gentle with yourselves.

Really sorry to hear that @Ephesus1010 look after yourself xxx

Really sorry to hear this @Ephesus1010 sending lots of love xxx

ForPearlBird · 15/09/2025 13:43

@MyAgileZebra Sorry to hear about your previous heartbreak. It's such a difficult time. I have everything crossed for you. This is my first transfer.
@Kr0 I'm the same. Trying to keep distracted but even staying distracted my mind still over thinks! When are you going to test?

ForPearlBird · 15/09/2025 13:45

@Ephesus1010 Really sorry to hear it didn't work for you. It's such an emotional and physical rollercoaster. Take care of yourself xx

@SarahAndQuack Welcome!
Sorry to hear it didn't work on your last round.
When is your OTD? How are you feeling?

Hi ladies, I’m really hoping to do FET this month. I have all my meds ready but I’m still waiting on my period. It’s now Day 48 of my cycle - one of my longest ever. Any tips on trying to encourage my period to hurry up??

We have 4 PGT-A tested embryos ready to go and I just need it to start before I turn 35 😢

Why do you need it to start before you turn 35?

@SarahAndQuack Welcome!
Sorry to hear it didn't work on your last round.
When is your OTD? How are you feeling?

OTD?! I've no idea. I've got to say, I feel really at sea at the moment. It's partly my fault because I can't quite engage emotionally with it all, so I'm probably not paying enough attention. But my clinic aren't the most communicative, either, so I'm not very sure what to expect.

Kr0 · 15/09/2025 15:53

@ForPearlBird i am going to test on Saturday I think which is 10dpt. you?

@SarahAndQuack welcome! Hope you are ok, sending positive thoughts

Good luck! It's just horrible waiting, isn't it? No good tips but much sympathy.

(Btw, I remember that feeling about turning 35! I felt so sad all day - I'd always assumed I'd get to the end of all the fertility clinic rounds and I'd even thought I might be able to donate eggs, and it just felt like such a blow. I don't know your reasons for wanting it to happen before 35, but please remember - nothing is ever as cut and dried as people make it out to be. There are lots of ways forward.)

Thank you, that's very kind. Will be thinking of you on Saturday!

@Kr0 Going to try and hold out until Sunday! Still seems like forever!

Hey! If you are into acupuncture then it’s worth a go. I had this issue and my acupuncturist gave me a specific session and my period came the next day. I wasn’t hugely converted but was at the point of being willing to try anything.

i also feel you re the 35 but I’m annoyed that I’m even thinking about it 😂😂 I turn 35 in a few weeks and I hate the narrative that all of eggs just spontaneously combust the second the clock strikes midnight 🤣

Peonies94 · 15/09/2025 18:36

@Ephesus1010 so sorry to hear! It really is so heartbreaking and takes a lot of time to work through it all! Sending love! Look after yourself!

Really sorry to hear your news @Ephesus1010- hope you are doing okay and thinking of you x
