March FET 2026

[YourLilacLibra]

I thought I’d add a March thread coming over from my February 2026 thread as my transfer was cancelled for this month due to a collapsed follicle or cyst in my ovary 🙄

We’re doing ICSI due to severe MFI. We are doing our third transfer next month (beginning of March) after a failed fresh and chemical from a FET. This is also our last embryo before having to start allllll over again 🫠 this time I’m doing a modified natural (adding in a trigger), adding in clexane and the same as last time having Lubion and Cyclogest.

Im due my period this weekend and will then have a scan on CD3/4 to check if the follicle/cyst has gone 🤞🏻

Thanks @OneGladOtter

Hope everyone is doing ok x

I’m 2dpt and today I’m so tired. As hard as I try not to, I am constantly scrutinising every little thing 😣

@Wildflower9 - I’m also absolutely shattered. Couldn’t keep my eyes open in front of the telly earlier but managed to drag myself out for a walk for a bit of fresh air.

I am with you on looking for any little signs / scrutinising everything too - I don’t know about anyone else but I also just keep having real emotional peaks and troughs of positivity / negativity about what I “think” is happening and going to happen.

hope everyone is feeling ok. X

@itsthehopethatgetsyou i do too! We are waiting on the blood test, and I keep imaging how the phone call with the results is going to go.

It’s good to get out of the house too, I didn’t get a chance to go today but I’m going tmoro for sure!

It's very very very early. But I have taken a FRER this evening (4dp5dt) with a two hour hold, and it's very very faint but clearly a second line is there.

I am somewhere between ecstatic and terrified! I am relieved to see a line so early, as all my other (non IVF) pregnancies (all losses) I didn't until much later. I just pray this time it will all be perfect. I don't regret early testing as from the symptoms I was already fairly sure, but OTD does feel a long way off 😅

@Wildflower9 exactly the same. And I feel like the calls we have had previously with updates on development / results of the testing are so fresh in the memory in terms of how miserable they were that i can’t even contemplate it. Even thinking about the question of “can you confirm your name and date of birth” feels quite triggering. I can’t decide whether it will be better to be myself to take the call, or to make my other half be around all day so that he will be here too. But then I just keep trying to remind myself it’s one day at a time.

@MocktailMe - sending you lots of good wishes, and fingers crossed! When is your OTD, and will you test again before then? X

@MocktailMe that is both so exciting and so scary! How are you feeling? Do you have any symptoms?

@itsthehopethatgetsyou I hear ya! Our clinic will only talk to me, but I will put them on speaker so my husband can hear it all too whichever way it goes 😫

I've got sore breasts and I've been so tired and feeling sick mainly.

I only miscarried a month ago exactly, so the memory of exactly what being pregnant feels like is very recent. I don't think I'd have been as suspicious if that wasn't the case. That's also what makes this so scary, as the last loss is so so recent and clear in my mind!

I totally understand even being triggered by being asked your name and date of birth. It's just something about any sort of medical protocol isn't it!!!!

fingers crossed my love!! This is such a positive start 🥰

Hello, I hope you don’t mind me joining. I had my transfer on the 12th March of a day 5 blast. So currently 4 days past transfer. I have tested and it was negative but hoping for the best x

@MocktailMe i am so hopeful for you!

@dforrester88 welcome, you are one day ahead of me, I am 3dpt. I feel like I don’t have a lot of symptoms though I am feeling tired and a bit nauseous, but trying not to read into it so early incase it’s just the hormones talking!

@dforrester88 fingers crossed for you! Is this your first transfer?

Wishing everyone the very best of luck. How are you all getting on? Hope things are still well @RhubarbCrumble95 and would love to hear if anyone else has cracked and tested yet as I know there's a few only a day or so away from me.

I'm totally stressed, I wanted to just be happy I had a line at all, with the most recent miscarriage only last month the fear is just so close. I've got a photo of my test this morning 6dp5dt it's still really quite light, I'm starting to guard my heart a little, but still hopeful.

@MocktailMe thats great! First step is done. Your body an embryo have done what they needed to do. Fingers crossed for you that this progresses nicely.

Im still hanging in there. I have an early reassurance scan next Saturday so just trying to get through. I took a test this morning to see the line is still there (chemical trauma) and this is what I got so I’m still hopeful. Today I am 5weeks and 3 days.

Ohhhh I would kill for that line that's amazing!!!!! All looking for good for you now! Do you have a pic from your 6dpt?

@MocktailMe

My 6dp5dt was very similar to yours.

Oh wow thank you that actually makes me feel so much better.

I am driving myself crazy with the worry, I wish I could fast forward to the placement scan and know everything would be okay (don't we all!!).

@MocktailMe tell me about it. I keep ChatGPT’ing statistics of things progressing and having a live birth. I keep telling myself that I’m on the very good side of probability so I need to hold hope. I hate so much what early loss trauma has taken from us. It’s hard to get excited.

Yeah honestly I wish I could just stop letting my mind wander to the worst case scenarios. I don't use Chat GPT but I've probably read every single Reddit thread in the IVF sub by now.

Same - I don’t use Chat GPT much but similarly feel I’ve read all kinds of stuff now. Funny how all of this kind of becomes your specialist subject…. I was sat on the train to work today next to a pregnant lady and found myself wondering how easy or otherwise it had been for her.

I’ve convinced myself of all kinds of scenarios based on what I think I have been feeling (or not) today. The way the progesterone is making me feel sets me up quite nicely to mentally swing between all kinds of outcomes!

hope everyone is feeling ok and fingers crossed re the lines progression x

Hope everyone is doing ok xx

Not going well really. My lines don't seem to be progressing, 8dp5dt.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

@MocktailMe do they usually get darker?
I never do the tests so I’m not really sure how they work…
There is still clearly 2 lines so don’t lose faith just yet xx
When do you go for your blood test?

Yeah they should be darker than this really at this stage, considering I've had a visible line for 5 days now.

Not an exact science, there's always outliers etc, but my temp has also dropped and so has my RHR. Not good signs.

For context, the attached is my last pregnancy. The first darker two were taken three days before the picture of the one on its own. It's how I suspected I was miscarrying before I started bleeding.

Hello, this is my second transfer...my first was successful in 2023 and I have a 2 year old from that transfer. I'm 7 days past transfer now and still negative so not feeling hopeful for this one.

I’m so sorry @MocktailMe and @dforrester88 😔
