Hi everyone! DH and I have been trying for 4 years now. I just finished my first ivf cycle. My ER was today, and I'm hurting more than excepted. They were able to retrieve 23 eggs. Super excited for whats next. Wish I would have come on here sooner in my journey. Hopefully we are looking at a May FET. Just wondering how the FET experience was for everyone. Hopefully better than stims and ER  :# Good luck to everyone!

    FET is generally easier on the system -- the only downside might be if you have to do the progesterone oil shots, those are not fun!

    23 eggs sounds awesome! Will you be getting a report on the embryos this week and are you planning on testing?

    Welcome! FET is a much easier process than stims. I didn't find the PIO shots to be that bad even, though some women get sore from it (I didn't). It's all worth it in the end though. Congrats on the 23 eggs!
