IVF May 2026 - Transfers

[WanOvaryKenobi]

Anyone else having embryo transfers next month and preparing now?

Blimey, that sounds stressful. But with any luck you've got a mega strong frosted there. How would you feel if you ended up with twins?

Isn't it funny how clinics are all different? Mine said don't POAS, just come in for the beta blood test.

Will you have the will to do that @LifeOfRiley63?😀

🤣🤣🤣 I managed last time, but had my DH hide all my tests in his man cave

@Azahar8 Thanks, second embie was a 3BB so sort of...

I will test in advance, don't think I can hold out until the 26th....I'm considering the 20th or maybe 21st - just would like some indication before we go away for the weekend.

Thanks @LifeOfRiley63 - my mind is just not really considering it could be twins tbh! It's weird, the embryologist said there's a something like a 0.01% that both would implant as the first embryo had degenerated....but she equally felt that ethically she couldn't tell us that it had no chance at all. It's that weird grey area with all of this where the science goes so far and then it's sort of up to the gods! This would be our first child so we have no sense of what it's really like - if it is twins we'll just have to roll with it I think😅

Well done @LifeOfRiley63 , I couldn't do that 😂

@TheMintCrab Mine was a 3BC 🤗Yes, I think by the 21st it will be clear whether it's worked or not.

@TheMintCrab Wow what a whirlwind, can imagine that must have been so stressful! Very glad that your second embryo fully survived the thaw and is transferred. I hope that you enjoy the wedding!

My clinic doesn't do blood tests. I am a horrific early tester, I purposely used all my pregnancy tests before the transfer watching the trigger line fade. Hopefully that has sated my need to test for a while! Official test day is 23rd but I will be happy to make it to Monday 😂

Do keep us updated @FrozenPeass 😀

@TheMintCrab what a whirlwind! That’s great the second embryo was looking good though fingers crossed it is getting cosy already!

so I caved in and tested of course I couldn’t even wait till OTD on Sunday lol 🙈 looks good I think 🫣 I hope it sticks around …. Feels way too early to get hopeful yet but 🤞

so who is next going to cave in? 😂

Congratulations @Ellenn !! Really understandable to feel cautious at first, but hope it starts to feel more real over the next few days! How many days post transfer are you if you don't mind me asking?

@FrozenPeass im 8dp5dt today and was supposed to wait until 12dp5dt oops 😂

how are you feeling?

@Ellenn I think making it to 8 days is respectable well done!! Everything crossed for you!

I am feeling that I can't believe I am only one day post transfer, feels like at least 3 😂

That's wonderful news @Ellenn, fingers crossed 🤗 Is it your first transfer?

@FrozenPeass time does jsut seem to stop doesn’t it post transfer 🫣 I always feel the first couple of days go okay and then you start to worry when you will end up testing (I’ve never made it to actually OTD 😂)

@Azahar8 this is my first transfer for sibling round I managed to get my son on my 4th transfer (the first 3 all were early miscarriages 🥲) what about you?

@Ellenn Hopefully this one will stick🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I've had 6 transfers overall and that's my 4th one for sibling round.

Aw congratulations @Ellenn!! 🤍🤍

I think I’ll probably cave by 8dpt 😂 @FrozenPeass I know exactly what you mean, I had to restrain myself from buying a test yesterday because it had literally only been….one day

@Azahar8 i hope you are right! Although know too well the agonising wait to see if viable 👀

I hope #4 is going to be the lucky one like us last time! Are you doing medicated cycle?

@TheMintCrab the moment my early tests arrived it was challenging to not use them lol do you feel it helps you to test early?

I’m finding it so hard not to symptom spot! Have been having a very dry mouth/ thirst - but I’m on a fully medicated cycle so I know it’s also all just the progesterone 🙈

I'm still quite behind you ladies but I'm having my scan today to check my lining and absolutely praying for good news so we can transfer next week 🙏

Thank you, @Ellenn, I really hope so, but finding it very hard to stay positive. My previous three cycles were natural modified and although I responded really well, they didn't work. I'm on fully medicated now because this is what previously worked for me. What about you?

Apologies if I'm wrong, but were you with me in the March thread too? I'm sure I recognise your handle.

Good luck with your scan today 🤗

I understand you - I know very well symptoms are meaningless but can't help it. I've only had mild cramps so far.

I was yes, my last transfer was 11/3 and it ended in a chemical pregnancy early loss. That was the cycle immediately following a natural conception miscarriage around 6 weeks. Hoping for better luck for both of us this time around!

The good news is my scan went really well, they're happy with my lining so I'll be getting a call later today with my fixed transfer date and instructions on when to start the next phase of drugs!

Girls, can i ask a question for anyone who has had a FET before. So i called the clinic today- think they had forgotten about me from their questions 🫠 So have my transfer booked in for sunday…kind of…. so they said embryologist will call sunday after 9 to say they are thawing, then again after thaw which im taking as confirmation if all went well but i dont find out my transfer time till after that call. Is that standard? and if so how long did you gals wait?
