May 2020 FET

laurad75 · April 2020

A handful of us have been waiting for clinics to begin treatment again after the COVID-19 shutdown. Who is planning for a FET in May?

I am on estradiol now and going in for monitoring on 5/7. My FET is tentatively scheduled for 5/13.

I have a mock transfer next week and hen I will start estradiol. So excited to get started!

Hi, I am supposed to call with CD1 (within the next week) to begin the FET process ssince my clinic has finally opened to those again! I am guessing official transfer would fall end of June. With everything so slow around here with so much on hold I wonder if it would be reasonable to do like a May/June/July FET board? Do you think that could gain more engagement or maybe that is too large of a time range?

I am having my retrieval done the week of 11-15 after I have two monitoring sessions. I won't be doing a fresh transfer as my embies need time for testing PGS. Right now I am doing the injections.

@becca07024411 I think that’s a great idea to start a spring/summer thread for everyone getting started. There are so few of us right now it would be nice to have some others to share updates with.

@greateggspectations How are the injections going?

becca07024411 · May 2020

@laurad75 yes- this isn't my first rodeo, but it's been a while so I feel like such a newb. I thought about going and looking back over the July 2018 FET thread to spark my memory. Thankfully I kept a calendar from last time to remember the process of how long for everything, etc!

Thanks for asking, Laura! I started them Thursday night (made my husband give them) and then put on my woman panties and gave them to myself last night. I am optimistic. My baseline US was done Monday and the doc said I had "larger ovaries" than he estimated. Thanks, I guess? lol

becca07024411 · May 2020

CD1 for me today, so I called my RE and should get my official schedule Wednesday or Thursday. I am going to ask to possibly stay on BCP and extra week or two to push back when I am guessing my transfer date would be. My OBGYN is out of the country the last few weeks of February every year for a mission trip and if I get lucky and this round works I would prefer her to be in the county. On a scale of 1-10 how ridiculous is that?

Hi Ladies,

I’m newish here — had a successful transfer two years ago and have a wonderful baby boy and now I’m trying for number 2. Im CD6 or CD7. I didn’t do any prep this time but I’m hoping the fact that I’m not working is the equivalent of acupuncture 😂. We decided not to wait because if this little egg doesn’t take we have to do another round and we would rather know sooner or later.... I’m kinda sad because I did some pandemic baking and my plus size frame is 10lbs larger.

All in all I’m excited we get to move forward in our journey and I wish us all BFP!!!

laurad75 · May 2020

@becca07024411 I don't think that's crazy at all. I was pregnant at the end of last year (sadly ended with mc) and we scheduled my c-section delivery around my OB's annual vacation.

Welcome @avidlyuks36! How old is your little boy? My first transfer is 20 months. I'm so hopeful he will be a big brother soon. I've been doing a ridiculous amount of baking too but I'm blaming my weight gain on estradiol.

My monitoring appt is tomorrow and if all looks good my transfer will be a week from today.

TW...

@becca07024411 I had a transfer August 26 2018 which resulted in my daughter, Emma who just turned 1 on May 5. We are waiting for our fertility clinic to reopen and then will proceed with another embryo transfer to try for our second child, we are very lucky and have 12 embryo's remaining. I think CD1 will be around May 17, so hopefully we can transfer in June.

@laurad75 Very exciting!! I hope your monitoring appt went well!

Is there a June board set up yet?

laurad75 · May 2020

Thanks @sfield21. Monitoring went okay but my lining is light so I’m increasing estradiol and going back next week.

Someone had suggested setting up a spring FET thread since there are less of us with so many cycles on hold. I can’t change the thread title here to do that but feel free to start it.

avidlyuks36 · May 2020

@laurad75 thanks for the welcome. My son just turned 1 in April

He is getting to the rambunctious age and I can't wait for him to master a few words so we can order us around like a proper toddler instead of screaming as a sole form of communication.

Had my first appt and linning was looking good -- 9.something on CD10.I have a follow-up on Monday and I have a feeling that I may have the trigger shot on Wednesday/Thursday which will be exciting.

I'm debating whether I can/should go to acupuncture -- COVID19 has me pretty relaxed despite the fact that we're living through a pandemic. I'm tempted to go twice before the transfer and 2 or 3 times after but I'm not sure-- have you done acupuncture?

I can set-up a spring FET chat

Have a great weekend ladies

becca07024411 · May 2020

@avidlyuks36 my son just turned one in April also! Tuesday was CD1 for me and just got my protocol for an FET towards the end of June. I will be glad to join you in the Spring FET board. I did acupuncture before my second retrieval. I am not sure if it helped or not. I think the effectiveness kinda depends on each individual and if something is off or "imbalanced" or not, but I do agree there is really no downside. I don't plan on doing it for the upcoming transfer, but that is only because the nearest one is over an hour away and only open the middle of the day 2 days a week, so I would have to miss work and it would probably just cause a lot more stress than benefit. I did a massage before our second FET. Again, not sure if it actually helped that one work or not, but it definitely helped me relax and it felt nice, so I plan to do it again!

laurad75 · May 2020

@avidlyuks36 I have done acupuncture for all my previous cycles but it’s not possible now. I’m doing remote acupuncture treatment where my acupuncturist and I do a video call and she coaches me on placement of small needles. Then I take a nap. It’s awesome.

sfield21 · May 2020

@avidlyuks36 Did you set up a spring FET board? This board is so quiet...

How is everyone's progress going?

I had CD1 on Saturday and started taking estrogen, I am going to our clinic on CD 14 (May 29th) to check my hormone levels and lining thickness. We're hoping for an early June FET.

laurelew · May 2020

@sfield21 Yup! @avidlyuks36 did start a Spring FET board. Come on over and join us. https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12753247/spring-fet
