Hi ladies,

For those of you who have done IVF, how long did you wait after giving birth to have a FET? My little one is 4 months old and I know how incredibly lucky I am to have her but I’m desperate to put my other embryo back. If it doesn’t work I want to get the ball rolling with a second cycle as age isn’t on my side.

Also how did FET affect breastfeeding?

Cheers ladies xx

Also can you still breastfeed during ivf? I’m guessing no?

Bump anyone?

I've gave birth 4 months ago following ivf.

My consultant said whenever I felt ready, though because I had a C-Section I was advised to wait up 6 months.

You can still breastfeed during ivf, are having medication during this round? Check with your doctor first

@assilem92 Congrats! I guess I should contact my clinic. I’m not sure about medication because I’ve never done a FET before so I’m not sure how it works. When are you planning your next try (out of interest) x

My clinic said they wouldn't allow another transfer for 18 months after birth (but I've had one c section and likely would Need another). They said they would only do 12 months if I had a doctors report about healing of scar etc
