Anyone Doing FET/IVF Cycles in November 2025?

583 replies

Mrsbutterfly24 · 12/10/2025 15:21

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

So exciting there have been so many positives!

@Peonies94exciting! I had mine Wednesday so only a few days ahead, testing Friday!

@Rayofsunshine22so sorry to hear this but it only takes one and you never know what could happen! 🙏

@Lizzieeeeeeeeeeeeehow are you feeling? Feel like it’s going so quickly we will be testing before we know it 🙈

Peonies94 · 29/11/2025 21:55

@Rayofsunshine22 in okay, a bit crampy but I looked back on my notes from my transfe back in September and that was the same up to 2DPT which was negative! I have everything crossed though 🤞 how are you doing?

Peonies94 · 29/11/2025 21:56

@NS05 how are you feeling? Any symptoms? Are you planning to test early?

I plan to start testing from next weekend but not sure why I do it to myself!

Rayofsunshine22 · 29/11/2025 22:01

@Peonies94 yeah I'm similar a little crampy and twinges here & there but nothing major. It's feels so bizarre, as I had a blastocyst last time I presumed it would be the same this time. This process is so hard and cruel always building hope in getting to the next stage. I want to be realistic and prepare for another failed round as the probability is so low for me now this time but at the same time I have to stay hopeful & I know a negative test or period arriving will completely devastate me again :(

I’m ok thank you, I did have quite a few cramps today low down so really hoping that’s a good sign but don’t want to get my hopes up. For me every time it’s worked I’ve had no symptoms other than cramps- I do think any symptoms would be the progesterone anyway!

I tested at 5dp5dt last time and got a positive but that was only because my progesterone dropped and I was sure I was out so wanted to check 😂 my husband said to just wait for the blood test as I’ll drive myself mad and I’m going to try. I may just do a home one before on Friday.

honestly I think do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better, for me I don’t care about the injections etc but I find this 2ww so awful!

Hi all I stupidly tested at 7dpt and it was negative, I'm hoping it's too early but realistically I've seen I should have at least a squinter, it was fmu but it wasn't an early test just a 25 one, but definitely think I'm out x

Peonies94 · 30/11/2025 06:41

@Rayofsunshine22 it is so cruel isn’t it! It’s such a gamble of what you’ll get! I’ve been there with cancelled rounds and no blasts and it’s absolutely heart breaking! 😔 it’d just so up and down this whole thing isn’t it! 😔

@NS05 its so hard isn’t it! I tested early last time and found it hard to keep the injections up then as knew it was for nothing, but equally it helped me not keep dreaming for another week and being hopeful do it helped me ease my disappointment!

I’ve taken a few days off work I have to work Tuesday as I’m on training but then I’ve taken a few days after that off! Hoping I’ll have an answer before I go back to work so I can process it! Found the news last time took me a few days to process and found that part really tough! the wait and the bit afterwards are definitely the hardest parts, sending love!

Try and keep faith. It’s an horrendous process. Do whatever you need to do to keep your heart safe. Let’s hope that it’s late implantation.

Lozzy000 · 30/11/2025 13:26

@Wishingandwaiting2453I was a bit crampy too - I would always see that as a good sign! Yeah it’s such a waiting game….we’re with a private clinic, not NHS. However the viability scan is 3 weeks after OTD, I think they don’t want to do them too early.

@Mrsbutterfly24glad all going okay. I had some brown spotting these past 2 days too. was a bit concerned to begin with but calmed down a little now. I think I only need to be concerned if it’s red or heavy. Still scary when it’s taken us over 5 years to get to this stage. My viability scan isn’t until 7+3… so jealous you’ll get yours at 6 weeks.

@Peonies94congrats on the transfer!! how are you feeling?

@Rayofsunshine22im so sorry you had no blasts. I know what that’s like and it’s absolutely devastating. Fingers crossed for you, you never know.

@camelinastormif it wasn’t an early test then you’re not out yet. You’d defo need an early test to pick anything up at this stage x

Oh god tell me about it, it’s been the longest few days! I actually took a test this morning against my better judgement, don’t know why I did tbh as i know I’m only 11 days after my HCG and Only 4dp5dt and there’s a line. Of course that makes everything just as uncertain as before but we will see😅

Omg this must be so confusing for you! Maybe just wait until weds as I think it will be definitely be out by then!

Yes, I’m thinking that on Wednesday I will have this to compare it to if nothing else. Back to work tomorrow so that should keep my idle hands busy!

How have you been feeling?

Yes good plan! I’m ok I’ve been busy with the kids this weekend so haven’t had time to think about it! Ive got an exciting overnight work trip Tuesday so that will also keep my mind off it. I just ordered some first response so I think I’ll do it Friday morning before the bloods.

It’s so hard as I felt positive after some cramps yesterday but then had nothing today. Anyway I guess people don’t know they are pregnant for weeks sometimes!

Sounds like a great distraction, enjoy!

Hopefully that’s a sign that implantation has already happened for you 🫶

I suppose we can’t change anything now, it’s out of our hands. Just need to keep positive 🙏

Has anyone booked in a viability scan? I’ve just booked mine for 23rd December. I don’t know what to do with myself from now until then apart from taking a million pregnancy tests for no reason.

Mrsbutterfly24 · 01/12/2025 17:00

@Wishingandwaiting2453 , I have booked one for 12th December when I will be 6 weeks. I am willing the days to fly by without anything bad happening till then.

Peonies94 · 01/12/2025 18:18

@Mrsbutterfly24 glad it all went smoothly for you! When is your test date? Will you be testing early or waiting out? 2DP5DT today, and already thinking I can’t wait to test! 🥴
