XP (from IF): Question for FETers

lmc5004

How long did your FET cycle take before transfer? What was involved?

 

TIA!

It's just been so long since my FET's it's hard to remember exactly, but one was timed out very similar to an IVF cycle and the other was a "natural" FET that only took a few weeks but felt like forever since I had to go the RE everyday to have my urine tested for ovulation.

You'll probably find more comprehensive answers from ladies who's cycles are more recent but I am very happy to see you thinking of next steps.  I know each cycle that doesn't work is such a huge hit but hang in there, your BFsP is coming soon.

It was a long time because I was on Lupron Depot for 3 months before hand.  So maybe a month before the transfer I was on BCP, then I did the transfer around CD24 of the next month (was supposed to be earlier but my lining wasn't cooperating.)

I did BCP for a month and a Lupron Depot injection.  On CD 3 I started Estrodiol (3X a day) and an Estrogen patch (changed 2X a week).  My transfer was around CD 20.  Five days prior to the transfer I started PIO and continued with the same estrogen routine.

I was supposed to be on BCP's for a  month, but I didn't go on them.  So, afte AF it was 5 weeks until cd1 then I took estradiol for 3 weeks (I think) and then transfer.  SO MUCH easier.

Didn't do FET, but wanted to say I'm so sorry about your BFN hun

Mine was super easy.  Started AF on 8/31.  They had me start estradiol and then the had me come in for day 3 bloodwork and called me and made 9/3 my CD1 (don't know why).  Went in for b/w twice after that and then once for b/w and an ultrasound to check my lining 5 days before transfer.  That night I started PIO and transfer on 9/21 which was CD19.  I am still on estradiol and PIO.  We put back two 6 celled Grade A embryos and beta is on Monday (though I have been getting BFP's on HPT since 7dp3dt). GL!  I found it super easy and liked not having my body souped up on so many hormones.  But all clinics are different.

10 to 30 days of BCP.  Overlap with Lupron.  Lupron only.  Add estrogen of some kind.  Estrogen for 10 to 14 days.  Start PIO.  Transfer 5 days into PIO. 

It is  also possible to do a "natural" FET where there is no  BCP or Lupron and just E2 and P4 are used.
