Hello! Yes, I will be doing a FET in May, fully medicated and start all drugs on CD2. I'm currently CD11, so around 20 days to go before back on the drugs train!!!

This will be my second FET. Fresh transfer failed, first FET was a chemical. What about you?

OneGladOtter · 09/04/2026 18:18

Hey gals! Jumping into this thread as I had my follow up call today and will be doing my first FET on next cycle. Hoping this is our month girls and no more monthly groups to join after this!

Aiming for a natural modified transfer in May and doing general blood tests this week (full blood count and thyroid) + Alice biopsy (even though doctor said kind of pointless). A bit scared to move from having frozen embryos and the sense of possibility to outcome time.

yes I get that is this your final go?

@OneGladOtter no it's my first! I have 4 euploids but I'm 43 so I'm not getting any more!

God yes this is a huge next step for you, you’ve got this! One step closer!!

Awaiting for my next period this first week of May and that’s out last embryo. Failed first transfer last month. So we don’t know what to do next if this didn’t work as it’s expensive to go to private. All the best everyone. I still haven’t recovered from failure last month. I’m a bit stressed and depressed. I’m really trying to cope with it🙏

That’s really tough, absolute rollercoaster for emotions. Here for you 🤍

Hello! We will be transferring our final embryo in May after three failed FETs recently. We already have a child from a FET years ago from the same batch of embryos. For some reason it's not working for us this time. I am not having much hope after three failures, especially given that our last embryo is average quality and untested.

Oh you have been through a lot lovely in a short space of time x

OneGladOtter · 16/04/2026 18:41

How are we all feeling? IVF is crazy you don’t want to see your period and now I’m like hurry up!!! Let’s go! When is everyone expecting day 1?

MocktailMe · 16/04/2026 19:02

I think mine will be a little while yet - I would guess around two weeks to go!

Azahar8 · 16/04/2026 19:58

I'm expecting mine around 24-25 April. What about you @OneGladOtter ?

OneGladOtter · 17/04/2026 19:54

Hard to gage this one but I think maybe around 26th. Just want to go get that day 1 call in now so I can get some appointments set

Azahar8 · 18/04/2026 08:09

@OneGladOtter Yes, fitting in all the appointments is really frustrating. Are you doing natural or medicated?

Natural, this will be my first FET after a failed fresh transfer in Feb

MocktailMe · 20/04/2026 16:55

My drugs came today - I'm pretty sure my ovulation is over, so I'm on the countdown to the last few days before I start the FET round.

I have to say I am struggling to feel any excitement or hope for this round. Fresh failed, first FET chemical and one naturally conceived chemical all since I started IVF in December 2025. Thats not even counting the losses before starting IVF.

I'm trying not to count myself out before I even start, but it's really hard. I'll probably be transferring in around one month, and I just genuinley cannot picture a positive ending.

Ahh I’m so sorry mate that you feel this way. I don’t want to say it will all be ok and try to turn it positive because your feelings are your feelings. Look how strong you have been though, you have overcome so much already, your determination and mindset is unstoppable. Sending you big hugs x

Azahar8 · 21/04/2026 08:57

Sending you big hugs too. It's really hard to be positive after failures. I keep telling myself that ivf is a marathon, not a sprint.

OneGladOtter · 26/04/2026 19:36

officially day 1 girls- 1st scan is booked for the 5th may

MocktailMe · 26/04/2026 21:25

Wow it's starting!!!

I am still waiting for my period to get going to start but hopefully I won't be too far behind you.

Wishing us all so much luck for May 💖

Azahar8 · 27/04/2026 09:22

Good luck everyone 😊I am on day 5 now, had my baseline scan on Saturday and started meds. Next scan is 4th May!

CMGC · 02/05/2026 22:23

Waiting on my pgta test results to come back and due my next period around May 25th to hopefully start transfer from frozen embryos got last month! Sending positive vibes to us all!!!!

overwork · 02/05/2026 23:01

Oops sorry ignore me, wrong thread!

MocktailMe · 03/05/2026 10:52

I have started my estrogen today, here we go again!!!
