Anyone Doing FET/IVF Cycles in November 2025?

Hello ladies, anyone doing an FET or IVF next month? I am on a 3 month down regulation protocol and just did my last lupron depot injection yay! I start embryo transfer prep on the 1st of November, it will be nice to chat with anyone on a similar timeline for support and banter to get us through 😊 Xx

@Mrsbutterfly24thats great line progression! I had spotting for 2 days both times it was successful and then it never returned so try not to worry! I used to try and just tell myself everyday ‘today I’m pregnant and I’m thankful for that’ and try my best to take it day by day. It’s so hard as so much is out of control. My transfer is in a few hours and I’m getting nervous! They said my progesterone levels were looking a bit low so I started taking pessaries last night- I am now on 2 injections and 2 pessaries a day 😭 did anyone else have low progesterone day before fet?

@Lozzy000 good luck for your transfer as I know you weren’t far behind me!

@NS05 my progesterone was ok but I have been on 2 vials of progesterone injection, as one injection, and 4 pessaries (200mg) per day, the injections kick in pretty quick, good luck with transfer

NS05 · 26/11/2025 09:43

@camelinastormthank you hopefully the extra dosage will kick in today 🙏

PlanBFertility · 26/11/2025 10:02

Just had scan. Lining over 8mm and leading follicle 23mm so natural cycle seems to work better for me. FET booked for Monday 🤞🏻

I am petrified of it not working but equally as scared of it working and losing the baby again.

NS05 · 26/11/2025 17:16

@PlanBFertilitygreat news! Just had my transfer all went well so now the waiting begins 🙏

PlanBFertility · 26/11/2025 19:19

Pregnant until proven otherwise @NS05 🥰🥰

@PlanBFertilitygreat news! Just had my transfer all went well so now the waiting begins 🙏

So glad all went well today @NS05 💫 I transferred a 4AA embryo and trying to stay positive as dreading this wait 🙏

NS05 · 26/11/2025 19:28

Thanks @PlanBFertility

amazing @Lizzieeeeeeeeeeeeemine was 5AA so similar - are you doing bed rest? Mine said to bed rest today but then can resume normal activities tomorrow. I hate the waiting but just keep telling myself I’ve done everything I can do.

Did you have any embryos to freeze? X

Lizzieeeeeeeeeeeee · 26/11/2025 20:48

Aw yeah so similar! No bed rest for me, I was advised to carry on as normal avoiding strenuous activities but I’ve not done a lot to be fair other than make dinner. Hope you get to relax, having the little ones must be a juggling act in sure! I’m working from home over next few days but will be very relaxed 🙏. I have 1 to be frozen, embryologist said they would call tomorrow (day6) for grade though 🤞🤞 My test date is 6th December, is yours too??

NS05 · 26/11/2025 20:53

Ye I don’t think it really does anything, definitely will go back to normal tomorrow. I’m not working until Tuesday either so have a few days off! Test day is next Friday so one day before you but I think you can definitely get a positive from 7 days after (Wednesday) I think I’ll just wait for the bloods though as will be too nervous! X

Yeah I agree, I haven’t even bought 1 pregnancy test tbh, seen some people get positive from 5dpt but I would drive myself crazy. We are through the NHS and there protocol is just an at home pregnancy test and only if it’s positive do you go in for blood test confirmation.

Peonies94 · 25/11/2025 19:08

@Rayofsunshine22 the same day as me!🤞 we had a failed transfer in September so another transfer at the weekend now! just wishing the week away now to get it done, the nerves are horrible! I know once the day is here I’ll be wishing another week away to test etc!

@Wishingandwaiting2453 sending best wishes to you! It’s a brilliant start, hope it goes well for you 🤞

@Peonies94 they called me today I have 6 fertilized eggs and 2 that are leading. They said I'm in for 9am Saturday and they won't look at them again now until then. I also am wishing the days away I just want it to be here and to know I have at least one blastocyst 🙏🏻
Did you get an update on yours today? When is the earliest you will test?

NS05 · 26/11/2025 21:29

Yes I did actually test last time at 5dpt and got a line but I’m going to wait the full time this time as I drove myself crazy with line progression! Makes sense to only do bloods if positive anyway. I feel like I’m analysing every twinge 😂

Peonies94 · 26/11/2025 22:47

@Rayofsunshine22 I’m doing a FET so already in the freezer! That’s great, 🤞 you end up with a nice number!
Ours will get defrosted early morning as the same as you, we’re in first thing!
Will probably test the following Friday! I tested from 4 days last time but going to try and wait until 6 this time, what about you?

AHH amazing! How many do you have frozen?
I've never tested early before. Last round my period arrived before day 14 :( however I am very tempted to test this time. But don't want to get false hopes up seeing a positive and then loosing it. I think I'll have to see how I feel but I might test after a week 🙏🏻
2 days to go!

Peonies94 · 27/11/2025 19:19

@Rayofsunshine22 6 in the freezer but they haven’t been tested! we initially said 3 transfers would be our limit! We’ll see how it goes..! Not long to go now!

Lozzy000 · 27/11/2025 20:03

@Wishingandwaiting2453and @Mrsbutterfly24 tentative congratulations! How are you feeling?

Today was my OTD. Been testing positive since day 6 and my HCG test came back as 678 today - so feeling really chuffed. This is the furthest we’ve ever got 🥹 Now we just wait for our viability scan in 3 weeks x

Wishingandwaiting2453 · 27/11/2025 20:55

@Lozzy000 I’m okay thanks. Just testing each day and checking lines. I’m feeling quite crampy too which im not sure about.

ahhh another 3 weeks on top of all the other waiting seems like forever. Is that 3 weeks from official test day? Are you NHS?

Mrsbutterfly24 · 27/11/2025 21:52

@Lozzy000 , tentative congratulations too!

I am feeling ok thanks. Still having the odd very light spotting and cramps but apart from that all good and lines seem to be progressing. I do have quite a feeling of fullness in my uterus but I dont know if that's normal or maybe because we did a double embryo transfer we have more than one so there is more activity going on? Who knows... time is crawling at a snails pace till the 6 week scan. Crossing everything it keeps going in the right direction for all of us 💕 X

Marisadea · 27/11/2025 21:57

Oooh! Many congratulations to everyone with positive tests! I would say that, now that I am nearly 7 weeks, the pressure feeling in the uterus is a very good sign. I also experienced brown spotting from 5dp5dt until 6 weeks pregnant! Baby is doing ok, I saw the heartbeat yesterday! So don’t worry about it, unless the bleeding gets heavier

Peonies94 · 28/11/2025 06:17

congratulations to everyone who has tested positive 🤞 really hope things progress well for you all!! @Lozzy000 @Wishingandwaiting2453 @Mrsbutterfly24

have my bloods this morning go check estrogen and Progesterone to check all is okay for tomorrow! Nerves are kicking in!! It seems to have come around quickly as initially when I started my cycle they’d guessed transfer would be around 3rd ish but lining thickened up quicker than my last cycle!

this will be my second FET after the last failed a few months back!

wishing everyone the best of luck! 🤞

I’ve been given the OTD of 10 days after transfer so the 9th and told to have a blood test that day too! I know I’ll probably be testing from around day 7 though! 🤦‍♀️

Peonies94 · 29/11/2025 09:45

Transfer just done! Anyone else a similar stage and jusf had a transfer? Now the TWW starts! 🤞🤞

Been thinking of you. I haven't had a great morning. No blastocyst for me :( absolutely devastated. They allowed us to transfer the 2 embryos that were very early cavity stage. (If anyone knows much about this?) My chances are very low hence why they have allowed them both to be transferred. I'm devastated but need to stay hopeful at the same time.
Sending lots of luck to you. My official test day is 12th Dec.

Peonies94 · 29/11/2025 12:05

@Rayofsunshine22 im so sorry!! That must be so gutting, but also as you say, I hope you can find some hope to keep you going ❤️
