FET ?

mrsgcal

Hi, Sorry I haven't been an active poster lately. With a forced break not much to say but I do try to send Good Lucks and HUGS when needed!

I'm *hoping* I can do my FET in November but it's looking pretty unlikely. How long do you cycle for with a FET? The RN said anywhere between 11-21 days. I'll be taking Estrace and Vivelle patches (no Lupron, etc). Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

No advice, just good luck and well wishes for your upcoming cycle!

All of my BFN FETs were estrace to PIO and were 3 or 4 weeks from start of estrace to transfer.  It all depended on when my lining was think enough.  This time around I started off with lupron and the whole cycle was about 6 weeks long.

I'm currently in the FET process.  Started Estrace 3x daily this past Saturday, and I go back on the 25th for lining check and also my intralipids treatment.  I'm hoping transfer will be within a week from that point.  This is my first FET so I'm also not too good with it.  But I say the whole process can be as long as 3 weeks..

Wishing you lots of luck!  I did BCP and Lupron for mine (starting in mid-Mar), but started E2 patches on 4/1 for a 4/27 5dt.  Link to deets is in my siggie.  FWIW, it felt like it took forever compared to my fresh cycle.  GL!

Thanks girls! You're so very helpful! I am not allowed  to get pregnant before 11/30 (3 months from my methotrexate shot) and I'm 99% sure AF will appear on 11/10 so I'm hoping that I cycle long enough so that I won't have the transfer before 11/30. So I basically need at least 20 days of cycling to make this work. Thanks again

I hope you don't mind me posting but I believe my transfer was on day 19. It will depend on what day your embies were frozen. Good luck!

I don't mind you posting at all! They were frozen on day 3 however they are going to be incubated until day 5 and I will transfer the best ones.

Mine were frozen on day 6 I'm pretty sure so I'm not sure how that would change things for you. Also as much as I hate PIO, I felt like it made the difference for my cycle which resulted in my son. It was the only time I had done PIO. I also did estrace as the estrogen support.  Sorry for the unsolicited info. lol

They can extend the period of time you are on estrace to about 3 weeks even if your lining has reached the target thickness if I remember correctly. FET is much much much more flexible for timing than a fresh cycle. There's a minimum amount of time- long enough to get your lining up... But they can absolutely extend beyond that to set up preferred timing. My grandfathers funeral out of town was during FET#1 and we massaged the dates a bit to let me travel.
