Hi, I am back in game after the failed fresh cycle. I do have two 5-day blastocysts which has good to fair grade. I started back to back cycle because I feel my body is ready and since I won't have to do Stim meds, the cycle will go easier. And my doctor is ok doing back to back cycle. I started estrace 2 mg oral tablet twice a day from yesterday 9/1/2015 (CD 3). My uterus lining was 3.5 mm yesterday.
How long do people normally take estrogen before transfer and when do you normally do the transfer?
I am asking this because I am scheduled for lining check on 11th (CD13) and the tentative transfer date is 24th September (CD 26) But to me that sounds as if the calendar is off by whole 1 week. I don't have any issues identified as of yet with endometrium lining or uterus. So my lining should be thick enough (esp. with the added estrogen). So let's suppose my cycle is 28 day cycle (which usually is), ovulation normally occurs CD 14 and I have 5 day blasts so by cd 20-21 the blasts should be in the uterus. That would be around September 18th -19th. Isn't that so? What am I missing?
Thanks for the feedback.
Re: Need feedback: FET of 5 day blastocysts
I also had a failed fresh transfer in July and just did my FET yesterday (each transfers were 1 Grade A/5 day blasts). I don't know if this will help but my schedule for the FET was as follows:
08/14-AF arrived and started estradiol pills
08/16-Baseline u/s
08/29-2nd u/s and progesterone injections started that day with first shot at 1/2ml than 1ml going forward
09/04-One frozen embie transferred
09/14-BETA testing which I pray is BFP!
GL and here's to a healthy and happy journey!!
@PrayingMom2Be yes your calendar helps Fingers crossed for you. I hope you get your BFP. My tentative transfer is on 9/24 but I'll know more after the ultrasound on 9/11
@gkamerman78 my transfer is in 9/24. It's @PrayingMom2Be who has the beta on 9/14 I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of you. I am thinking of transferring both the embryos and take my chances since my 5 day blasts are of fair grades. How many did you transfer? All the best
How has everyone felt about the PIO injections? I previously posted that I'm mid natural FET cycle that may be converted to medicated, but I'm so nervous about the PIO shots as I've heard so many not so great things about living with that injection.
Fingers crossed for BFPs for everyone transferring this month!
@NicWalker10 I will be honest I thought the PIO injections were going to be much worse then they are. The first one my DH was trying to give me and since he never touched a needle I freaked and told him we were going to my mom's as she is a nurse. After that night I think I iced first for the first 2 nights and now I don't at all. Really I have very minor bruising from the way the injections ate given and a lumpy butt....lol it takes days for that oil to absorb into the muscle. Best of luck .
Also my RE recommended putting the PIO vial in hot water (not boiling, just hot water that u get from tap) for 3-5 minutes. Doing that kind of thins out the oil. So it is much easier to draw and also to inject. And then walk 20-30 minutes. That way I am not sore and no lumpy butt
@NicWalker10 hang in there. I am sure there will be a rainbow at the end
Thanks so much for your advice and words of encouragement @kmartinez209! I am still waiting for my period so I haven't gotten to estrogen or PIO yet. After getting all the good advice from you all I was mentally prepared to go! now i'm at a standstill just waiting for Day!. This is such a frustrating process. Thanks again!
