Infertility

FET has been scheduled, but I am concerned...

It has been scheduled for June 20th. Being a school teacher and that is the 2nd to last day of school with my 1st graders, I don't see how it's possible to get the time off that I will need. The room has to be packed up, I can't imagine not being there to say goodbye to my kids. Plus I don't want my nosy co-workers knowing what I am going through. I am going to call my RE tomorrow & hopefully they can do it the following week. The problem is I know that they have a schedule of ET's & FET's that they follow. :/

    Maybe if you explain the situation, they can work around it.

    Do you have friends or family that can help you pack up your classroom so it would go more quickly? My mom was a teacher and my sis is now and I'll sometimes help them if I'm available.

    Best of luck for changing it!

  • Thanks, chicks! Right now I am only on BCP's. I am PRAYING they can do the FET a few days later. My concern is that they only do them certain times of each month. I don't know when the cutoff is. I won't know anything until tomorrow, so of course I will panic & worry until then. Some friends said to not worry about it & if that's when I have to go, then so be it. I know this is WAY more important but I would be heartbroken if I couldn't say goodbye to my kiddos properly. It was such an emotional year & they kept me going. They are very special to me.

    Plus my co-workers (love 'em!) are so nosy. Not sure what cover story I could come up with that they would buy if I have to miss the last 3 days of work :/ 

     I would be able to get my hubby (probably) to help pack the room.

    Thanks for the well wishes!

    Everyone Welcome!
  • They should have about a week window where they do them since people stim for different numbers of days. Hopefully it's not an issue and you can get it moved a few days later.

  • My RE was able to shift the day of my FET transfer by a whole week because I was supposed to be traveling when I would be starting IM injections and I was terrified of trying to do them by myself.  They said shifting a FET is so much easier than shifting a fresh cycle.  Fx your clinic is able to work with you.

  • Teacher here as well. I will be on stims at the end of the year and will have to pack up. I know some schools don't like you to start too early but is there a way you could speak to your administrator only and ask them if you can start packing early, at least the things you shouldn't be packing or lifting after ET? I really hope your clinic is able to move you to the following week. I am in a different situation where my kids will be gone and I will be out of the classrooms before the school year is over. I accumulated comp time and am actually taking off the last two days of school which should help with monitoring because ER will be a few days later. I am sure it is all going to work out just fine! GL!

  • Hello - I had talked to my nurse about the timing of an FET. She said she knows the doc can extend the days, but wasn't sure about shortening the days - I think they may play with the estrogen dose. I would talk to your RE about this.

  • Good news! I spoke with the nurse & she said no worries...the date is not set in stone. We have to see how my body reacts to all the meds I will be on. And she said that most likely the FET won't be on that date & we could push it back a couple of days if I needed. WHEW!!!! Thanks for all of your well wishes!
