September FET

[Coffeechocolatebooks123]

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!!

Hi everyone, I’m another late arrival- had my FET at a similar time to @CloudyIvy55 and @MintOwl, 9dp5dt today. My OTD is Tuesday and I’m also too nervous to test until then!

Massive congratulations to @CloudyIvy55 !!! What lovely news, wishing you all the best.

Good luck to @MintOwl for testing Monday, and to everyone else preparing for transfers.

Very best of luck to you too @Blueskycat!

@CloudyIvy55 congratulations!! This is amazing news, so pleased for you! Here’s hoping for a lucky thread 💫

@MintOwl keeping everyhting crossed for you, how are you feeling?

Congratulations!!! So exciting! The first positive of many I hope 🤞🏼

Good luck @Ephesus1010 @Blueskycat @MintOwl fingers crossed for you all.

my transfer is also booked for Wednesday this week, my clinic do one OTD on 10dpt and then final OTD 14dpt

@CloudyIvy55 ohhh congratulations! Wonderful news!
had another scan and my lining is on the thin side, my estrogen has been upped for now, but also had bloods done to see if anything further needs to be done! I have another scan in 4 days time!

Amazing amazing news @CloudyIvy55 congratulations!!!!!!! xxxxx

Has/is anyone doing a natural modified FET? If yes would you mind sharing what it looked like for you in terms of scans, meds, timings etc. I know everyone’s protocol is different so will obviously take with a pinch of salt. I did medicated last time which failed and I’m just looking at a natural modified approach for my next transfer. Thank you!! X

Transfer buddies @Kr0. Do you have anymore scan or tests before then?

Good luck @MintOwl @Blueskycat @Ephesus1010 for when you decide to test 🤞🏼

What day did everyone have their transfer on? I’m guessing it’ll be around cd18-21? Just trying to look at when to expect it to be!

@Peonies94 Haven’t had my transfer yet but the nurse talked me through a hypothetical schedule that went a bit like this:
Day 1: cycle begins (bleed)
Day 2: start Progynova (estradiol) tablets
Day 12: scan confirms lining is good
Day 13: start progesterone pessaries
Day 19: transfer day

Of course these all depend on scans and protocol – for example I’m on tablets and pessaries rather than injections, and I actually didn’t start my oestrogen tablets until day 3 because they wanted me to shed more lining first. But hopefully this gives you a rough timescale.

@Peonies94 mine will be cd 19

@FluentTealGuide thsnk you that’s useful! I’ve not been given mine like that but so far

jave had a scan on cd3, started estrogen that day too! Day 8 have another scan and again another on day 11. I believe i have a fourth scan around about day 14 but that’s aw far as I’m aware, I guess if all is okay then, I’ll probably begin progesterone!

similiarly I didn’t start my estrogen until day 4 because lining was thick and had to wait for bloods for a cyst!

@Peonies94 I was cd18 - my LH surge was on cd13 which was a bit earlier than I expected. So cd18-21 sounds about right for me. I was relieved it was earlier as I've got a massive day at work on Monday that would have been tricky if I'd had to go in that day or if the transfer was tomorrow as I wouldn't have been able to prep for Monday xx

@jenk91 thank you!

I'm doing a natural FET @Hopeandfaith1990 (not sure what natural modified means and whether that's different to what you are doing).

I had a scan to check uterus lining on cd10. All was good and they could see that i was due to ovulate from left ovary. They then asked me to do ovulation tests evening and mornings from that day, so evening of cd10, and I tested positive for a LH surge on evening of cd11 which was earlier than I expected. Started progesterone pessaries morning and night from cd14 and had transfer on cd18. Will be testing on cd29 and hoping for good news 🥰

Are you planning to do similar medication wise or no progesterone?

@Peonies94 - realised LH surge was actually cd11 not cd13. Then transfer a week later on cd 18.

Thank you that’s really helpful. My previous cycle was with so much medication. I was injecting for about 6 weeks in total with it all.

I’m hoping to do exactly as you described with a trigger shot and progesterone in the run up and after transfer. Natural modified is a natural cycle plus the optional trigger and progesterone. Essentially no down regulating and oestrogen. I’m also on an immune protocol for recurrent miscarriage so I think I just found the last cycle a lot with all the IVF meds and the recurrent miscarriage meds! X

Glad that helps - I feel surprisingly quite sore and bloated since my transfer. I say surprising, I've read its normal, but I don't remember it from last time. I think the progesterone is also making me feel quite tired and headachey or it could just be from cutting caffeine 🤣 hope all goes well for you and you have chance to rest xxx

@MyAgileZebra great to have a buddy! I had a scan last week but nothing until the day of now. They test progesterone on the day of the transfer. You?

@kro I have a blood test on Monday to test progesterone. I wasn't tested for my fresh transfer so a little nervous about the results.

@MyAgileZebra mine is also being tested the day before transfer as well!

Thank you!! I also get awful headaches every time I cut caffeine 😂 I hope you feel better soon - I do think a bit of soreness is normal but definitely talk to your clinic if it’s bad. The progesterone is the worst for side effects 😓 hoping and wishing you a positive outcome x

@jenk91 Thank you! I've generally been feeling ok physically, and then I've been more anxious today without the distraction of work.. a mix of wanting to know and not wanting to know!

@Hopeandfaith1990 so sorry to hear of recurrent miscarriage and all the meds too. I'm on a natural modified cycle but perhaps more like your last one-

I started taking the following from day 10, twice a day, and have continued since transfer (now 10dp6dt):

Cyclogest 400mg pessary
Lubion 25mg injection
Progynova 2mg tablet

Thank you!

that is really helpful - so you just started Progynova CD10 and then continue daily for the foreseeable if you get a positive? How much Progynova? Before I was on 3 tablets a day x
