March FET's

ashleyhj29

Hi all! 

Starting this thread for those of us who are preparing to transfer in March. I really find that these boards help with anxiety when others are going through the same thing at the same time. 

AFM
I am prepping for my 8th FET and hoping this one will bring home a baby(ies)!
Protocol: Estrogen patches, Medrol, Aspirin, Lovenox and PIO. This protocol worked in 2020 and got me to 7 weeks.
We are transferring our last 2 embryos on 3/16 pending my lining cooperates. I tend to have a thinner lining so my schedule sometimes gets delayed. My lining check is 3/10.

Hey lady! I am so impressed with your dedication!! I’m a “newbie” in the IVF world. My AMH is super low so after 3 egg retrievals. I got one normal and a mosaic. First transfer was the week of Thanksgiving and it was the normal one. Didn’t take and was a big letdown for my naive self. Just had the mosaic transferred yesterday so 🤞. Protocol is PIO and EV Injections, Doxycycline for 4 days prior to transfer. Low dose aspirin since start of EV a few weeks ago. Endometrin and antihistamine protocol that consists of pred, Pepcid and Claritin.

The only thing that helped my lining was estrogen injections. The pills didn't work as well.

@knottieb8c7dfd990a71e69 - I forgot that I'm on the AHP as well once I start PIO.

How is everyone's week going so far? 
I have my lining check tomorrow to see if I'll start PIO (and other meds) on Friday. I always have a hard time getting my lining to thicken up so these appts always make me nervous.

Hey Ashley, I'm a March FET person as well - I hope this is the place to post I had a transfer on the 8th so I'm PUPO. I'm totally new to these boards so I hope I don't jack it up. It sounds like you've been through the ringer! I have too. Looks like your lining check is/was today. How did it go?

Hi @meganthompson0904! Welcome!
My lining was measuring at 9mm today, which is AWESOME for me! I'm waiting on my nurses call to get the OK to start PIO tomorrow for transfer next week!!!
Do you plan on testing at home? What is your story?

meganthompson0904

Congrats! That's fantastic!

I do not plan on testing at home this time. This is my 4th FET and I did test at various points the last 3 times. The last time I was getting positive HPTs and was excited for my Beta. HCG levels started out low and I ended up miscarrying at 6 weeks. So this time I think I just want to know what the actual beta number is instead of feeling almost kind of "misled" with the positive HPTs if that makes sense.

I'm really struggling this cycle though. It's been the hardest out of them all for me.

Hey Team! I love/ don’t love seeing people here I know 💜 @ashleyhj29 I’m so excited for your Betas and upcoming ultrasound! Sending all the love and juju to you and your sweet little baby. What’s going on with you @romeoandjuliet146? To my new friends going through for your first time, i look forward to supporting you! 

AFM, I had a FET in November that did not make it. Is that the right term? Forgive my fuzzy 🧠 today. For that FET I had only had 1 normal embryo so after that I took a good little break. And then today, I had my 2nd egg retrieval. They retrieved 7 eggs. I’m still medicated and foggy. 7 feels a little low to me. I had 10 last time and this time I had 12-14 follicles measuring the right size but some of them were empty. I didn’t know that was a thing so I was worried the doctor had left some eggs. I told him to get back in there. God willing I will be transferring next month. 

Much love, and I would love to hear how everyone is doing so I can support you!

I went in for an early US on Monday 4/4 bc I was having some bleeding. Everything looked good and they saw an SCH and 2 babies!!!
Still have some spotting (brown) and had horrible nausea and vomiting yesterday! 
Going for heartbeat US today at 2pm ET

@mojoflower - I couldn't have said it better myself
