Tell me about your FET process

What drugs? How long does it take? Is it just like ET? What do I need to know? I just don't really know what's involved with this. TIA!

    I am gearing up for my first FET as well, so thank you for asking this. ?:)

    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

    Hey you...

    It is confirmed... we're friends! :)

    I did a natural FET; it took a little longer than a norma cycle. ?

    I started Estrace on CD3 and then I think my FET was on CD 20; with about 2 monitoring appointments in between.

    I think a few days before the transfer, we added in the PIO.

    Good luck with whichever route you decide to go.?

    Mine was much simpler than my fresh cycle. I had to start out with estrace/prometrium to induce a period because I don't get it on my own, but that's just me, a normal person would start as follows:

    CD1 - start estrace orally

    CD14 - go in for lining check/blood test ((My lining wasn't thick enough so I had to stay on estrace a few days longer and go back for a second check, I think on CD19, but the "standard" would have you start PIO on CD14 assuming the lining check went ok).

    CD14 (19 for me) - begin PIO.

    CD19 (24 for me) - transfer.

    That was it!

    Well I'm trying to decide if I will do another fresh cycle next or do an FET. (I have 2 frozen) Either way I choose, it will be in April. I just realized I don't know what goes into a FET cycle. That may help me make up my mind. When is yours?

    Well that sounds very easy compared to fresh IVF cycle. Thanks for the info Schmoodle.

    I did a natural FET cycle and began estrace on CD 2. I had a lining check on CD 9 and CD 16. I have had problems getting my lining thick enough so I had to go a few more days and ended up transferring on CD 24. Also, I began PIO injections 2 x day beginning CD 19. Good luck!

    So glad you asked this. It looks like my FET is going to be in April too. Right now I am on provera to get AF started.
