I am pretty sure I will be having an FET in May and thought I'd get a thread started for anyone else who is looking at a May FET date. Hopefully this will be a place for support and encouragement throughout the process. Introduce yourself when you join

I am currently awaiting AF after my MC at 7w3d from my FET in January (after December IVF and a freeze all). Once AF arrives, I will start BCP and Lupron will follow shortly thereafter. My protocol will be the same as my first FET because it was successful. Looking forward to meeting some awesome May FET ladies!

Re: May FET Buddies
I think we start Lupron on the 8th of April. Spendy little drug that kit is. We are doing PIO this time around as well, so another shot. And Lovenox injection to hopefully help with implantation and endometriosis. We have had great eggs both fresh transfers with no luck
I am still happy that there is no big restrictions like the fresh cycles on movement, heat, etc. That will be a plus!

The FET process, even though there are needles, is way less taxing than a fresh cycle. The being able to exercise is a huge plus for me too!

@takethelongway I think I remember you from the January thread where I was too - sorry we have to meet like this again...
TTC since March 2015 with known PCOS and MIF
IVF in 2015. FET nr 3 in 2016 - BFP. Healthy baby girl born in April 2017.
Trying for nr 2
Exercise will probably be something I try to be better about. I'm in Tae Kwon Do, but haven't gone since end of Jan due to treatments. Makes me sad, but just too mentally/physically exhausted, uncomfortable, and not wanting to be around people lol.

Hi Ladies!
*MC Mentioned*
I am not sure when I am having my transfer but I am really hoping it is in May at the latest it will be the first week of June. I am ready to participate in a thread again so I figured I'd jump in. My full timeline is in my siggy and an even more extensive one in my blog - but a quick recap: Spent 7 months in Prague, Czech Republic and did 3 IVF rounds, 1 natural IVF, and 1 FET. FET resulted in pregnancy in October that resulted in a MMC at ~9w. We've decided to move onto Donor Eggs and have one frozen normal embryo from our first donor. The clinic guarantees 2 so they are looking for another donor BUT we are still waiting to find her. I am very hopeful that we will have a donor secured by the end of the week so I can book my tickets (traveling back to Prague for the DE FET).
@takethelongway so sorry about your MC. I blog too. I'll have to check yours out!
@derrian Another blogger! yay! I was also surprised about the meds during my FET!! Have you considered asking about a low dose prednisone to help with implantation - just another something to take but worth asking about. I hear ya about not wanting be around people... I am trying to not be a total recluse but I just don't have the energy.
@flanners1 Sorry about your second BFN. Fx for you.
@dragonfaerie I remember you from the Feb/March thread. So happy that you have 6 normal snowflakes!
@Rachnan You are one month out! Sounds like you might be our first transfer. Fx

Luckily my husband and I mainly have the same friends. So I can send him out to hang with friends and just be lazy at home lol. I feel like it is good to get all that rest. But I also feel like a little exercize will get the uterus happy as well.

@dragonfaerie Physically, I am feeling better. I still have pain with most meals but it is fading into the background as the norm. Emotionally, that is a different story. I am a mess. I am so over waiting! I can only hope that my timeline is also the universe's timeline.
@derrian The cycle I got pregnant I was on Lovonox and prednisone. Hopefully this will the cycle for you. I agree about exercise helping blood flow to the uterus but over-exercising can also cause inflammation. I guess it really depends on the individual situation. I love me some yoga. It is Mountain Biking season here so I am getting out on my bike some as well.

@ derrian Shots are no fun but do make everything more real!! I always liked them because I felt like I was DOING something and not just watching time pass.
@dragonfaerie I just realized from another thread that you are also a Colorado gal! I am on the Western side of the state.

Retrieval went good in terms of the eggs they got (19 in total and 10 fertilized) but not so good in how I'm feeling after it. It's been a painful 2 days so far and I'm looking forward to feeling like a normal human being soon. I see you're in the beginning of your cycle. Is this your first IVF?

Just st a slight recap on my progress throughout: I had my ER on 3/18 and 12 eggs were retrieved. Out of the 12 retrieved, 11 were mature. Out of the 11 matured, 8 fertilized. Out of the 8 fertilized, 5 made it to PGS testing. Out of the 5 tested, 4 embryos came back normal (3 girls and 1 boy!)!!! I can't wait until we all get to our transfer dates!!!
@takethelongway I love the Ouray/ Ridgway area!! Is that where you'll be moving to?
@Tulips29 Welcome! Can't wait to hear the updates on your little embabies. Hope you are feeling better.
@jenn6782 Welcome! Awesome that you have 4 normal frosties!!
AFM - I got an email from our coordinator saying that another couple backed out and that their donor that is already cycling is a match for us! She gave me a quick update yesterday and said she would email me tomorrow to confirm that she was "ours" but I haven't heard from her!! Ack! It is 830pm in Prague and now I am afraid that I won't hear anything until Monday. I really don't want to wonder over the weekend, I just want to know already.
