March FET Buddies

Re: March FET Buddies

  • Transfer went well- RE did a trial transfer first where she said she found a "kink" which could have been the problem with getting pregnant all along since its internal and we would never know. But who knows!! My RE was really wonderful though as was everyone else in the room. 

    We transferred one embryo. We did PGS, so I know all the genders, but I told them to put in the strongest. I did ask which gender they put in (a boy!).  Doctor said it has 70% chance of implantation. 

    Go back Friday for progesterone blood work and beta is next Friday, March 31.

    @liljoy Ugh on making you wait 2 weeks!! Also no valium for me- the differences are interesting. Right after, they had me lay on my back for 10 minutes. Then I headed to acupuncture and just laying low rest of day/night. 

    @Nikkilegare  sending you positive thoughts that it's still early!

    So since my RE wanted no bed rest and encouraged walking, etc after transfer, yesterday (day 2) I took a 45 min leisure walk. Then I lifted a tray with glasses and plates which I felt was a bit heavy. Now I'm sitting here beating myself up and almost crying that I've overdone it :( If this doesn't work I'm done..
  • @hoping10 glad the transfer went well. Congrats!

  • Hi!! I know I'm late to the party but I did a FET transfer of 2 PGS tested 5 day blasts march 8! Got a BFP friday march 17 (morning of my beta couldn't wait) first beta 203. Second Befa (March 20) was 687! First u/s next Tuesday!

    congrats to everyone with BFP already! Good luck to everyone on that horrible 2WW. And good luck to everyone transferring in the next couple of days! Looking forward to seeing everyone outcome!!
  • Ladies, today is my 8dpt5dt and did the hpt in the morning, BFN. What should I do? Do I still have hope to get BFP on the beta next Monday? Feel hopeless...
  • ktc18ktc18 member
    @TiffanyQ2017 yes you do have hope! You could have had a late implantation. Don't give up. 
  • Yes don't lose hope!!! Test again tomorrow!! Don't give up implantation could have happened late. 
  • Thank you ktc18 &xomarisaxo. Do not want to do anything but lying on bed...
  • @TiffanyQ2017 I am right there with you :( mine was negative too. I have my beta on Saturday ...I'm not testing again at home

    @lin&say YAYYYY!!! I'm so happy for you! That's so so amazing!!

    @Nikkilegare
    I'm still praying for a BFP for you at the beta!! I forgot, were these PGS tested? Do you have remaining embryos?

    Question for all: did you have any bleeding to suggest implantation? I didn't so far, but I gather the IB is more of a rarity/myth. I need to calm down, I seem so ridiculous and immature. 

  • ktc18ktc18 member
    I had IB with my daughter but not this time around. My best friend had it with both of her kids. So maybe it's just random?
  • @liljoy mine were not tested. I have one more frozen! 

    You are not ridiculous or immature at alll!!! We all have the right to be a little crazy here :)

  • @liljoy - such a coincidence you're asking about implantation bleeding, cause I just wanted to post about that  :)

    Ladies, I'm 5dp5dt and when I went to the toilet just now I had a very small bit of watery pink discharge. Before I get myself too excited and categorise this as implantation bleeding, I wanted to hear if any of you had this before or whether it could just be from the Endometrin I'm taking (I've been taking it for a good week now, inserting it with that white inserting stick). Really looking forward to your insights!

    Adding on to above post from last night: when I got up this morning there was more pinkish/light brownish discharge (so sorry for TMI!) this morning. It's 6dp5dt now for me, i also tested with FRER but got BFN. Did anyone experience that? I don't want to get too excited thinking it's implantation bleeding - wouldn't it also be too late for that on 5/6dp5dt? I doubt it's my period coming since I'm on a medicated cycle. I also have quite bad lower back pain.
    Your experienced would be greatly appreciated (...freaking a bit out over here). Thanks so much in advance!!!

  • @Nikkilegare Good luck tomorrow. I'm hoping so hard that you end up with great news ❤️

    @HopeSIN I never used that kind of progesterone so I don't have any personal experience but it sounds like the spotting may be from the applicator irritating the cervix (try the search bar; I've seen some other posts about it). I know it's really hard, but try not to symptom spot...it'll only drive you crazy!

  • @HopeSIN I found on a fertility clinic's website that implantation happens from 1 to 5 days after 5d blastocyst transfer. In my mind that means from 7dp5dt a FRER should turn. 
  • @Lin&say & @liljoy - thanks so much for your input ladies!

    I actually did two tests this morning and got a suuuuper super super faint line on both, but in both cases only after an hour (so outside of the recommended 5-15min window as per the manual). So then I - of course... - did lots of research online and read that sometimes such spotting can come from too low progesterone levels and that in those cases you need to increase your progesterone doses. 
    So I panicked and just went to see my doc - they did a beta (after a good scolding, well deserved of course, from the nurse on why I tested so early, haha) and it just came back with an HCG level of 31. So really really low, and I was put on bed rest for today and potentially tomorrow (depending on whether the spotting stops). What a rollercoaster of emotions!
    Next beta will be on Tuesday or Wednesday - until then I think I'll have to think positive and hope that the beta increases at the next test!

  • @Hoping10: that's so amazing that you know that the embryo that they transferred is a boy. Here in Singapore they don't allow any testing on embryos. 
    I wish you all the very very best for the 2WW!!!

    @TiffanyQ2017: you are definitely still in the race. Just this morning my nurse gave me a big scolding for having tested on 6dp5dt - my initial beta was scheduled for 12dp5dt. The said there's a good reason why it's so late, which is simply because they often have women who either implant late or whose HCG only increases slower. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you beta! Do let us know how it went!

    @liljoy : are you feeling a bit better today? it's such a ride with all the emotions from the hormones...when is your beta scheduled for?

    @HopeSIN I'm cautiously happy for you. 6dp5dt is very early, so I think your beta will rise. 
    Ugh, my scheduled beta is not even relevant, it's 14 days after transfer, so by that time I will have had my period if negative...so...not even worth thinking about it..
  • @liljoy thanks so much - yeah, I'm being very cautious and don't dare to be happy or relieved yet. 
    Are you on a medicated cycle? Because if yes, as far as I understand, you wouldn't get your period until you stop your medication.

    @HopeSIN No, unmedicated. So yeah, they probably scheduled beta after the period cause why bother, heh.
  • @liljoy: I'm very sorry that you don't feel very hopeful. And I've know, I've heard that stupid sentence soooo many times, but in the end it's true: you're only really out when your period sets in. When I got pregnant the first time (which sadly ended in a stillbirth) it was my 1st IUI and was already 100% sure I'm out and that my period is on its way and it only got my first BFP end of CD13 (beta was scheduled for the following day). I used to read all those polls on forums where people state when they got their first BFP and it was something like CD11, so I was super bummed out and very surprised to get the good news. So really - you're only out confirmedly once your period comes or your beta tells you it didn't work. I'm really hoping very much for you that it will work out! Big hug!

  • @HopeSIN my first time IVF I was on endometrin and I spotted pinkish and brownish, they said it could be I irritated my cervix. Yay for faint line!!! When is your beta??
  • @HopeSIN wishing you so much luck that beta keeps rising!! I know that when I was on endometrin after IUI, my nurse told me that spotting was normal with it, but I never had spotting while taking it (that's all the info I have on it though). As long as your progesterone levels are good, you should be ok. 

    @liljoy Are you going to hpt at all? Or just wait and see if you get your period? I don't know what to do- I've never had a positive hpt so part of me just wants to wait for beta, but I will be caught off guard then. Either way, I told my husband last night that this is torture!!!

    @liljoy how many days post transfer are you? Are you testing before beta?

    afm.... I am on schedule for transfer on Monday, so totally excited and terrified about it...

  • Thank you ladies, for all of your support!! <3

So hoping that we can get this done the first time. If it doesn't work we will have to wait a couple of more months to save monies again as we are OOP.

    Good luck today to all those transferring, I hope to join you soon in the dreaded wait.

    @dragonette505 Yay, I was thinking of you, glad the transfer went great. I had an easy week post transfer, although my doc wanted me to get going, not on bed rest. 
    @stella_700 Good luck with the transfer, it's going to be a good experience. 

    @xomarisaxo Yes, I did start testing and got the faintest line at 5dp5dt, but I can't get my hopes up yet because I had a hcg shot 10 days prior that may still linger. I'll test again tomorrow on a Frer. Beta is not until next Monday, but I'll try to reschedule it for Friday because that's way too long. 

    As for symptoms, I didn't have any IB, sore breasts, etc. But I did have hot flushes, PMS like cramps, dizziness and I don't have an appetite at all. But of course, knowing me, these may be psychosomatic, not hormonal. 

    On a separate note, I need to go buy new jeans because since my IVF meds I gained almost 10 pounds and they stayed on. That's so odd because I've always been on the low side of a healthy BMI and now this. Ugh. 
  • @liljoy Hoping your next shopping trip is for maternity stuff! Fingers crossed for Monday!
