Anyone Doing FET/IVF Cycles in November 2025?

[Mrsbutterfly24]

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

My transfer is tomorrow and my progesterone is only at 28! Gah. I'm adding in Lubion and an extra pessary but I'm worried its doomed. Has anyone had any experience in this area? x

Good luck. @Hopeandfaith1990

@Hopeandfaith1990 sorry last time they only tested before my egg collection for some reason and it was 0.33 or something like. What is it suppo6to be out of curiosity

im due a FET in November currently on my second week of oestrogen tablets, I feel ridiculously bloated with a dull ache down below and my boobs are extremely sore and swollen- as if I was about to come on my period! Is this normal?

im lucky to have had my daughter 2 years also from IVF but she was a fresh transfer from my second cycle. So this FET process is totally new to me x

No worries!! My clinic said they like it to be 35+ so I’m not too far off- I’m doing an extra pessaries and starting Lubion tonight. I’m just glad I pushed them to test my levels as they originally said it wasn’t necessary

Is it Progynova you’re on? I found them quite hard going and yes definitely had some bloating. I was on 3 a day

Hi ladies, lovely to read all your updates. That's wonderful news on your positive tests @Marisadea ! Thinking of all of you that are in the two week wait @ALittleExpressive . It sounds like good news from your scan @Mrsbutterfly24 . My drugs arrived this week and I started downregulation with daily Buserelin injections on Tuesday (long protocol), so it sounds like I'm very similar in timeline to you @RavenWillow. I'm continuing with these until my period arrives, at which point they'll check my estrogen and then hopefully let me start stims.

Yes it’s thet one and I’m the same three times a day, I’ve just found the last few days I feel like I’ve gained a lot of weight whether that be water retention, bloating etc and my boobs have got so big and sore! Ive got four days left on them before a scan to check my lining- then I’ll know what’s next 😬 we only have two frozen embryos so I hope they thaw ok! X

Thank you!! Today I freaked out.. I took another test and the line seems the same as yesterday… the bottom one is 8dp5dt, the one at the top 7dp5dt.

@Marisadea oh sorry to hear it's caused you distress! I reckon it looks a little darker/more pronounced actually- def not an expert of course. Looks like a very strong set of lines, which is cool.

@Sequins04 thanks for the well wishes! Sounds like you might be doing an EC. Are you rolling straight into a transfer too?

Thank you @ALittleExpressive … My last transfer failed, therefore my apprehension 🥲

I'm also no expert @Marisadea but from what I've seen on here, those lines look pretty lovely for your dates. Yep hoping for a fresh transfer @ALittleExpressive although I think I may end up with egg collection in late November and transfer early December, depending on how things respond.

Hope your transfer went ok today @Hopeandfaith1990 and you're coping with your two week waits @Cornish13 @Lyndsey8880 @Emerald1986 and @PlanBFertility . I'm also having acupuncture @Cornish13 - trying anything that might help!

@Sequins04 the wait is killing me!! I did test on day 4 and 5 and it was negative so haven’t tested since as I can’t face it 😂 also binned all of my tests 😂 I did quite like the acupuncture and it was relaxing but I think if this transfer doesn’t work I won’t be doing it again as it cost me £70 a week which added more stress

Thank you @Sequins04 it went very well! Now the dreaded TWW….😩 good luck to all 🤞🏻💕

Thank you! The TWW is torture... as everyone is well aware 😂 I'm currently 5dp3dt so way too early to even think of POAS! Good luck to you all and hope you're all coping well Xx

Hi all I was the one who had a wobble about going ahead, well I'm on day 3 of medication 3 eastogen a day until tomorrow then goes up to 4, can anyone recommend a company that's good for a lining scan ?

Good morning ladies! Happy Saturday! Tomorrow is my OTD, but I couldn’t help it and took another test! I am 10dp5dt. Line is progressing.. even though I have some light spotting. I feel I want to celebrate today (cautiously)

@Marisadea Congratulations! Do you mind sharing what you did that made it stick?

@Wishingandwaiting2453 of course. This was a FET transfer of an excellent embryo quality, was already hatching when transferred, in fact I have started testing positive 3dp5dt. I have been in 8mg progynova and 2x cyclogest a day. In terms of extra supplement or extra medication: I took antibiotic a week prior to starting the procwaa and I have been taking women intimate probiotics as well as acid folic. That’s all. How are you doing?

@Marisadea Thanks for the information. I’m trying to be positive but after 4 transfers and 5 embryo losses it’s proving difficult.

Transfer is set for 20th. The only thing I’m doing this cycle different is infolic alpha and probiotics for endometrial health. All medications are the same.

I hope your pregnancy progresses well. X

@Wishingandwaiting2453 it’a nerve wrecking and I am so sorry that you have been through all this pain. I’ll keep everyrhing crossed for you. Are you going to test early?

I always say no but I know what I’m like. I’ve never tested before 4 days post transfer before and im
hoping because I’ll be in work 4 days past transfer until 8 days past transfer that it will somehow keep me distracted.

Did you feel any different this cycle to make you test early? @Marisadea

@Wishingandwaiting2453 not at all. I just couldn’t help but starting to test!
