October FET

Hi! I’m starting the process of a FET in September, transferring a 4AB early October. Trying for baby number two. Anyone else? Would be great to have people to talk to amongst the symptom spotting, line eyes and general freak outs ☺️

That's wonderful news @ClaireBear101! Yay for that lovely day 5 embryo!

Let's not talk about 'even if you fail,' eh?

@sarahAndQuack I know i know. I've had so many fails and set backs I need to be more positive.

Appreciate the kind words x

It's so hard! I do know. Hang in there!

@SarahAndQuack I've read a few studies about fetal microchimerism, really interesting. Not that much research specific to the implications in donor pregnancy but I've read a couple about it. I do read a lot! On the one hand, I think I should distance myself and on the other hand I like learning more about all this. But then quite often, I'll wish I hadn't learned something.
@ClaireBear101 Congratulations on your blastocyst, that's great you go to do day 5. Plus some to freeze.🤞 Everything crossed for you.

ClaireBear101 · 26/10/2025 14:49

So all done and feeling good.
We were told while there that theres another blast so they are freezing that.
Hopefully 2-3 more tomorrow. Absolutely shocked as never had frozen eggs or day 5 blasts.

Sara237 · 26/10/2025 15:37

@ClaireBear101 Excellent! Now for the 2WW. Brilliant that you've got the frozen ones too. So pleased for you. Do you have much on for the next few days or can you relax a bit?

ClaireBear101 · 26/10/2025 16:42

@sara237 I took the week off. I didnt any other try so said id give myself a better chance and have less stress. So week 1 will be very relaxed.
I hate the 2WW though. I'm as impatient haha

SarahAndQuack · 26/10/2025 16:49

That's so lovely, @ClaireBear101! Brilliant news on all counts.

@miraclemuma03 I agree on the cyclogest. I hate the side effects. But hang in there! How is it going for you.

Ive been quiet as Friday was day 3 and we agreed to wait and see for a blast at day 5. Ive only ever had 1 or 2 at day 3 so they just put them back in so I was so scared for today.
Lot of crying and emotions. Doesn't help in a same sex couple when the others starting that time of the month and also a crank hahaha.but got the call 8.30 this morning.
A beautiful 4AB embryo ready today for transfer so heading in at 12.30.
I can't believe it. Possibly more to freeze tomorrow but we shall see. All I need is one and the doctors been so positive that a good quality embryo is what I need as ive shown I can get pregnant so hes really positive which helps.

Girls what I will say is you are all warriors. IVF is a tough process and you're doing bit! Side effects and all. I really hope the best for each and everyone of you.
I'm praying that 4th times the charm for me and even if you guys fail on the first go or second just be kind to yourself. X

That is amazing news!! I hope your transfer went well and good luck on the 2ww. Have you got much planned during the 2 ww to keep your mind occupied?

Miraclemuma03 · 26/10/2025 23:02

I seem to finally have past the headaches thankfully. Just feeling tired but that could be lack of sleep. How is everyone else going?

That is amazing news!! I hope your transfer went well and good luck on the 2ww. Have you got much planned during the 2 ww to keep your mind occupied?

@miraclemuma03 No real. Walks with the Corgi haha. Also read books and watch movies. Anything to keep my mind busy basically.
Have you any news on a transfer?

Miraclemuma03 · 27/10/2025 09:46

@ClaireBear101 maybe you can take yourself out for a couple lunch dates and treat yourself nice.
So I am booked in on Wednesday for a transfer, my concerns now are if my embryo survives thaw. I no it doesnt happy often but its happened to us before so I cant let it go.

ClaireBear101 · 27/10/2025 10:29

@miraclemuma03 I totally understand the fear. We all have it at every stage and I wish I could say something to help but all I can is try to stay positive. My thoughts are with your lil embryo!
Fingers crossed for Wednesday!

Limmers14 · 27/10/2025 18:53

@Miraclemuma03 positive manifestation, your embryo will do great.

Got our transfer at 12.40 tomorrow. Feeling really tired from the progesterone but managed to get out for a 5k run this morning. I’m glad I was off work today and will also be off tomorrow and Wednesday!

Miraclemuma03 · 27/10/2025 22:36

@Limmers14 wow a 5k run is amazing!! So is your transfer today (tuesday)?

PlanBFertility · 28/10/2025 09:52

Sara237 · 28/10/2025 11:47

@PlanBFertility All sounds very positive. Hopefully not long now then. Are you feeling ok?

Sara237 · 28/10/2025 12:11

@SarahAndQuack Hope your scan went well.

Limmers14 · 28/10/2025 18:45

@Miraclemuma03 yup had my transfer today! All went well, the team were very positive and the embryologist explained everything about our embryo beforehand which was super nice. Had a bit of a walk back to the tube and also walked the dog. Now chilling on the couch!

@PlanBFertility that sounds very positive and good that they’re monitoring you to changes dosage if needed.

PlanBFertility · 28/10/2025 20:20

My clinic are amazing. Just a shame I found them after wasting time, money and heartache at another clinic!

Miraclemuma03 · 28/10/2025 21:14

@PlanBFertility so far everything seems to be going well. Fingers are tightly xd that everything goes smoothly from here.

@Limmers14 your clinic sounds great, and its so reassuring when they tell you everything about the embryo and the procedure, and it always makes you feel good when things go well. Congrats for being pupo , hopefully a fast but smooth 2ww. Im currently on my way to my clinic for my transfer.

Limmers14 · 28/10/2025 21:22

@Miraclemuma03 100%! They’ve been fab. All the best for today, hope it goes smoothly.

Sara237 · 29/10/2025 06:57

@Miraclemuma03 Hope transfer went smoothly.

Miraclemuma03 · 29/10/2025 21:02

I swear I posted yesterday . Transfer went really well. Officially pupo. Now we wait

PlanBFertility · 29/10/2025 21:22

@Miraclemuma03 heres hoping. My last cycle with them (and first out of 3 cycles that got me fertilisation) resulted in a BFP but sadly lost little one at 7wks xx

Miraclemuma03 · 30/10/2025 02:30

@PlanBFertility im so sorry for your loss. Hopefully this cycle gives you a better outcome. Everything is xd and sending all the baby vibes.
