Hello ladies!! I have a few questions and hope you all wouldnt mind me buggin ya

First I will start with asking a questions for those of you that had success with an FET. this is our first FET after our first IVF failed and I was curious what you ladies may or may not have done differently during your FET? I plan not to drink alcohol but find I am still drinking my usual amt of caffeine...also wondering about exercise and what you did? Let me add lounging around is not my thing and im only on day 2 and going stir crazy and wld love to walk!
Also we only transferred 1 5bb blast because that was all that made it from our 2PNs and it has be paranoid that it isnt good enough quality and we only had 1. Any success with only transferring 1 or with quality similar? I know grading is all subjective.
For now that is all of my questions lol. Thanks so much!
Re: Questions from IF...
** After 2 1/2 years of Unexplained IF, 2 failed medicated cycles, and 4 failed IUI's - our baby girl came to us through the miracle of Mini IVF! **
Our success came from our 1st FET, which was an opportunity that we were given finally with our 5th failed IVF cycle that finally got some frosties. Besides a total change in protocol from that last IVF cycle, I really didn't do anything different. To be honest, I was so numb about the whole process that it seemed silly to change up my lifestyle. I'm a semi healthy eater but major caffeine drinker and never gave that up until my BFP.
Good luck hope this is it for you!

| Married since 2008 | DH and I: Both 30 | Me: Endometriosis and Carrier of an X-Linked Dominant Genetic Disorder | DH: Low Morph | Planning IVF with PGD and PGS in 2013 | Freeze-All IVF #1: March 2013 ER 3/26. 29R, 12M, 11F. 4 5AA frozen blasts. Freeze-All IVF#2: May 2013 ER 5/15. 31R, 21M, 20F. 6 5AA frozen blasts. Our PGD probe was completed in late June (total of 20 weeks to develop). PGD and PGS Results came on 6/19: 3 healthy embryos (normal chromosomes and unaffected by my family's genetic disorder). FET #1: July 2013 Natural Cycle - Cancelled due to insufficient lining (only got to 7.5mm). FET #1.2: August 2013 - Medicated Cycle with Lupron & Estrogen Patches to build up lining. Single embryo transfer was 8/23. Beta #1: 240! Beta #2: 578! U/S on 9/19 at 6w4d: We saw the heart beating at 131bpm. Second U/S on 10/4 at 8w5d: We saw the heart beating at 178bpm. EDD 5/11/2014
Me 28 DH 30
After 4+ years TTC
I had to freeze-all so I never had a fresh transfer. For FET #2, we added an endometrial scratch, ASA, omega 3, and vaginal estrace (in addition to IM delestrogen and PIO). My lining actually made it to 7mm which was amazing for me. I did the pineapple thing both times but really only because DH would make me these delicious smoothies that I looked forward to everyday. I did bedrest for 2-3 days both times and stayed positive. Each time, I transferred one embryo by choice. The second FET was a hatched 6 day old embryo that looked great (can't remember grade but think it's in my signature). GL!!!
