October FET

[Deleted User] · August 2017

Anyone out there waiting till October for their transfer??? Welcome! ❤

[Deleted User] · August 2017

I am about to start stimming on Monday 8/21 for my first IVF cycle. But during my recent SHG, the doctor found a smallish polyp. :/ So as long as retrieval goes well, we have my hysteroscopy and polypectomy scheduled for 9/27, and then - fx - FET soon afterwards!

Hey businesswife! I will be joining you here. I'm trying really hard to keep up with the July/August IVF thread but it is so active and is blowing up! I feel like I'm perpetually trying to catch up.

We are flying out for our Euro trip (yay!) this weekend and coming back Labor Day. Since I did my ER in July, I'm expecting my next period to begin any time during the trip. Then after the trip, once that period begins, I'll call the clinic to start my FET (finally!). It should start late September? But who knows. I kind of want to get this ball rolling too.

[Deleted User] · August 2017

@helloworld9. Yay! So excited for you and your trip!! What perfect timing, really. Where abouts will you be visiting? I hear you about getting the show on the road. I was feeling that way for so long while DH was taking his Clomid... Like please can we just get on with it!!?!? Lol Plus anxious hoping we WOULD be able to get on with it. :/ So I'm excited that retrieval is almost here now, but then like you, it's more waiting all over again for transfer! Gahh... At least Europe shoukd help the time go faster, right? We have a wedding and a shower in September, too, so hoping that stuff makes it fly by a little quicker. ;)

helloworld9 i was thinking about you and your trip and when you're leaving. I'm waiting on AF and then shall start the process! You have a great distraction

helloworld9 · August 2017

BusinessWife - We are going to Germany and Austria!

Although it is going to be our 5th trip to Europe together. We just love going there haha. But each time we figure out a new country to visit. There is so much to see...

Hopeful_mom - I'm so glad you popped over! I've been reading your updates in the August thread. I'm really excited for you!

AFM now... we are flying out tomorrow. According to my "math", I should be expecting AF on Saturday. However, I'm going to do one of those cheapie internet HPTs tomorrow morning just in case, so that I can drink all the alcohol and coffee on my trip! I'm 99.999999% sure it's going to be negative, but I'm still holding out a little bit of hope it's not... I would rather be pregnant and not drink sinful things on vacation!

helloworld9 · August 2017

Update: Well my HPTs are negative this morning. Oh well.

It was to be expected. Now I can drink all the coffee and alcohol!

[Deleted User] · August 2017

@helloworld9. Oh dear. I'm so sorry you didn't get your SS bfp. :'( enjoy all the wine!!

Hopeful_mom · August 2017

@helloworld9. its always wishful thinking - go and have a wonderful time!!

prudence9-2 · August 2017

Hi, I'm hoping to have FET in October... so will be joining you here

[Deleted User] · August 2017

@prudence9-2. Hey!!! Nice to see you! Did you have retrieval recently too?

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@BusinessWife no, check out my signature for history. But in short, had retrieval last November. And got 4 PGS normal embryos. Had my first FET in January and the second one in August. ***TW*** both times, the embryo implanted. First time stopped growing at 6w1d. And second time it was a chemical. My HCG level is 100 as of today... so I still need to wait for it to go down. ***end TW***

[Deleted User] · August 2017

Oh dear @prudence9-2. I am so sorry for your losses. (((Hugs))) I appreciate the recap as I'm 99% on mobile so I can't see siggies. (I probably need to sit down and update mine, too, now that you mention it.) That is so tough. Grateful for you to have another shot! We are not doing PGS, partly because it's not covered until three failed transfers. :/ So a part of me is nervous too with that thought in the back of my mind, we could be setting ourselves up for a lot of heartbreak... but what can you do? Get back on that horse, right? You are so strong. ❤❤❤

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@BusinessWife Thanks. It has not been easy.

As you can see from my history, PGS normal embryos are not a 100% guarantee... my RE thinks that the problem I'm having is most likely from the embryos... because they can still have some genetic defects.

I'm surprised that PGS is covered under your insurance... I thought that was always OOP... in my insurance you can have 10 failed transfers and it would still not be covered... I'm actually all OOP at this point... Since I have a lifetime max (which doesn't even cover 1 IVF cycle), I've been using my insurance for the cheap stuff... like IUIs.. etc...

Hi friends! I'm hoping to have an early October FET. I'm currently on BCP and expecting to start Lupron on 09/08.

@BusinessWife hope stimming is going well!
@helloworld9 hope you have a great trip!
@prudence9-2 I'm so sorry for your loss

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@20T welcome! Is that your first FET? How many embryos are you going to transfer?

[Deleted User] · August 2017

So glad to see you here! @20T ❤ stimming has been okay - we trigger tonight! First at 1030PM and then again tomorrow at 10:30 AM

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@BusinessWife so ER on Friday??? GL!!!!

[Deleted User] · August 2017

Thank you! @prudence9-2. I am so tired - I can barely stay up, but I'm hoping to go straight to bed after... almost time to get it all mixed and ready!!!

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@BusinessWife is it your first IVF? You mentioned you are not going to do PGS. So any reason why you're not doing a fresh transfer?

i do believe it's good to do FET so it will give your body time to get back to normal...

[Deleted User] · August 2017

@prudence9-2. Yes, first one! Our clinic doesn't do fresh at all unless mandated by insurance - give the body a chance to re-calibrate ;) plus, we have to go back for a polypectomy at the end of September prior to transfer anyway:/

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@BusinessWife I know many people have success with fresh transfer. But I'm glad I've only done FET. After my IVF I needed time to recover. I was close to having OHSS...will you be having medicated or a non medicated FET?

20T · August 2017

@prudence9-2 Yes, this is my first FET. I've done 3 rounds of IVF with no success with my own eggs, and this will be a donor egg FET.
@BusinessWife hope your trigger went well last night and good luck with this morning's!! So close now

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@20T oh wow! Good luck! Donor egg might be in my cards too. Can I ask how long did it take you to get a match?

are you doing medicated or non medicated FET?

20T · August 2017

thanks @prudence9-2. We used frozen eggs so as soon as we found someone we liked and paid, they shipped them to us. There is a great DE thread here: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12709229/ivf-with-donor-eggs. I'm doing a medicated FET.

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@20T oh cool! So you didn't have to have the woman go thru IVF? You just bought the frozen eggs? That's great! I'll definitely check out that thread.

I'm still hoping my next FET will be my lucky one. But I know I might need to look for other ways.

I will also be doing medicated FET. It seems to work for me. But I just need it to last 9 months

laurad75 · August 2017

@prudence9-2 Feel free to take a look at our IVF with DE thread. We're a friendly group.

GL to everyone with FETs coming up. I'm hoping to follow you all soon!

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@laurad75 thanks and I will def check out that thread!

are you hoping for a FET in October?

and nice to see another 1975 woman around here

laurad75 · August 2017

@prudence9-2 We are in the early stages of working with an egg donor so I don't anticipate our cycle until Oct or Nov. I don't think we will have a transfer before Nov. but hopefully by the end of the year.

prudence9-2 · August 2017

@laurad75 I see. Hope it works out and you have a successful transfer before the new year!

Just posted on that other thread

prudence9-2 · September 2017

Good luck at the ER tomorrow @BusinessWife

[Deleted User] · September 2017

Thanks @prudence9-2 !!! I am hopeful and nervous/excited all at once.... I appreciate all the happy thoughts and prayers! o:)

prudence9-2 · September 2017

@BusinessWife thinking of you. how did it go?

[Deleted User] · September 2017

Thanks @prudence9-2 Retrieval went Well!

<div class=" Spoiler">We got 18 eggs!!!</div>
We will find out tomorrow how many were mature and fertilized, but for now just been resting and sipping on coconut water since I woke up. ;)

TBT, we are a little nervous about having so many make it to freeze that we won't possibly be able to go back and transfer all, since we also didn't do the PGS. So just trying to trust the process... see what happens!!!

prudence9-2 · September 2017

@BusinessWife 18 is a great number!!!

Usually much less than what you start with makes it to freeze on 5 days.

And trust me, the more that makes it to freeze the better! You never know how your body will respond to transfers. Hopefully you will get pregnant on the first try.

prudence9-2 · September 2017

@BusinessWife do you have fertilization report?

[Deleted User] · September 2017

Yes, @prudence9-2 ....

So of the 18 retrieved, only 10 were mature.
6 of those 10 were fertilized with ICSI!!!

So now we just have to wait and see and hope and pray till Thursday!!! :D

prudence9-2 · September 2017

@BusinessWife FX they will all make it to day 5!

the wait is a torture...

I know...

Samantha335 · September 2017

Hi there everyone, sorry, late to the post! Have been looking for a group to join through this cycle! My FET date is tentatively Oct 2! I'm super nervous!!! Wishing all of you the best of luck! I started Lupron yesterday but kicking myself bc for some reason I thought I was supposed to start in the evening but the sheet said the morning. Do you guys think it matters? From what I read the most important thing is that it is consistent! Good luck everyone!

prudence9-2 · September 2017

Welcome @Samantha335. I don't think it matters when you do the Lupron injections. As you do it at the same time everyday.

sugarbear335 · September 2017

Thanks prudence!
