My period should be here in the next few days meaning i’ll start prep for frozen transfer number two!
Looking for anyone else in the same time frame to support each other?

Need ivf as i have no tubes and had a failed transfer in July. I also might have APS so im on clexane and aspirin.

Me, hopefully! Currently doing a dummy cycle, have a progesterone blood test on Monday (5dpo) and then hopefully a FET after my period comes. This will be my first transfer as we couldn't do a fresh one. The plan is to do a natural FET but that does mean it might get cancelled if I ovulate on the wrong day as they won't transfer on a weekend which is annoying. I think it's going to be a stressful few weeks waiting and hoping

ooh what’s a dummy run?

yeah that’s why i went for a medicated cycle as my period length is a bit all over and they said it’s less likely to be cancelled.
im also worried as my embryo is only a grade c which in my clinic is just “ average” grading. i’m 33 and it’s not pgta tested

They did a scan the day after I ovulated to check the lining thickness and then a blood test around 7dpo to check progesterone levels. If both of those are fine I can do a natural FET. If anything is off then I guess we probably pivot to a medicated one. The scan was fine and my progesterone levels have always been fine when its been tested in the past so hopefully we'll be ok.

I've read lots of success stories from lower graded embryos, hopefully yours will be one of them!

Oh that’s interesting! i’m guessing your on progestone too?

yeah my clinic are happy and said they are the most commonly used with success so hoping so 🤞🏻

Yeah I think once I get a positive OPK I start progesterone (as long as the days line up right). Just nervously waiting for my period now to get a sense of whether its likely to go ahead
