September/October 2021 FET

Tulips29 · October 2021

@romeoandjuliet146 thank you! My doctor will only transfer one at a time. Mainly because of my age (almost 38) and not being in the best shape to handle a twin pregnancy. Is it crazy that I’m already symptom spotting? I’ve been cramping on and off since the transfer and have a major headache today. Then I tell myself to knock it off because it’s way too soon. My beta is next Thursday.

@zwink1 thank you as well! And it’s good that you will have your FET schedule outlined soon

Tulips29 · October 2021

@krisssm thank you, same to you girl! and love the support to get through the 2ww together!

soccergirl23 · October 2021

@Tulips29 and @krisssm I hope your TWW goes by quickly and you get good news!

Does anyone have experience with an ERA? I had mine today and my Doctor kept talking about doing it after 120 hours/5 days after starting progesterone, but I have only been on progesterone since Sunday morning, so today was my 4th day and I'm wondering if the dates are wrong or if this is standard -- any thoughts? Thanks!

krisssm · October 2021

@Tulips29 how’s your TWW going so far??

Tulips29 · October 2021

@krisssm it’s going ok so far. I am not feeling any symptoms at all. Sometimes I forget I even had a transfer because of that and when I remember I keep wondering if it actually worked. Trying to push all thoughts away but they creep back in. How aware you doing?

krisssm · October 2021

@Tulips29 I feel no symptoms as well. It makes me worried not knowing if it’s a good thing or bad thing so I totally understand trying to push those thoughts away🙄 I’ve been pretty positive this whole time but now that I’m 6dp5dt, I know I can start testing and get a pretty accurate result so I’m terrified and starting to feel negative.

Tulips29 · October 2021

@krisssm you're so close to the end of the wait though. Can you hold off not testing? Also, not feeling anything doesn't mean much...*TW* more in spoiler....

I personally didn't feel anything with my 2 transfers that worked and then felt all the symptoms with the 1 that failed. And I know others who had the opposite. I know it's super hard not to read into symptoms or lack thereof.

krisssm · October 2021

@Tulips29 I know! I almost caved today but idk if I can resist anymore. I even tried to get my doctor to move up my beta test one day…didn’t work lol. The only thing stopping me from testing is avoiding possible disappointment. I’m hoping no symptoms= success is the case! How are you doing??

Tulips29 · October 2021

@krisssm whatever you decide to do, we’ll be here to support you! I’m now feeling slight cramping on one side and of course worrying that it didn’t work because of prior experience 🤦🏻‍♀️

krisssm · October 2021

@Tulips29 thank you! Isn’t terrible that past experiences make us worry even more 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m sure everything will be fine! What day do you go for beta?

Tulips29 · October 2021

@krisssm I go in next Thursday. On top of this I seem to have gotten some sort of a cold and my eyes are really red since yesterday. I am now worried this will somehow affect my chances even though that's probably not likely. ugh!

krisssm · October 2021

@Tulips29 I don’t think it will, don’t worry! Have you tested yet??

Tulips29 · October 2021

@krisssm I have not. Really scared and not sure I will at all. We’ll see. Have you?

krisssm · October 2021

I got a BFP last night at 7dp5dt ❤️ Just praying

zwink1 · October 2021

Congrats @krisssm! You're in my thoughts.

Sending good thought your way too @tulips29!

AFM - baseline went fine. We're off and rolling on this cycle. Tentatively set to transfer on 10/29.

krisssm · October 2021

@zwink1 thank you! Sending baby dust and good vibes your way!

Tulips29 · October 2021

@krisssm woohoo! Congrats girl! FX for a strong beta now!

@zwink1 that’s great! Hoping all goes well. The 29th will be here before you know it!

bender29 · October 2021

@krisssm

That looks pretty dark to me!

congratulations!

@tulips29 I missed when your beta is. How much longer do you have?
@zwink1 coming up quick!

Tulips29 · October 2021

@bender29 my beta is Thursday

Tulips29 · October 2021

Hi - how's everyone doing?

adamae1216 · October 2021

Hi! I finally got my ERA results...I felt like that took forever. So now I just have to go in for my baseline but I'm doing it next week since I'm going on vacation next Thursday. My transfer may be the first few days of Nov. But I'll continue to update here either way.

bender29 · October 2021

I had my first ultrasound today.

Tulips29 · October 2021

@adamae1216 that’s good news! Enjoy your vacation and your transfer will be here before you know it.

@bender29 a little bean! Congrats! So exciting

romeoandjuliet146 · October 2021

@bender29 Congratulations! So happy for you

italianmommy8 · October 2021

I also remember you guys from 2019 transfer that resulted in my 2020 baby! So good to see you guys again!

Tulips29 · October 2021

@italianmommy8 I remember your name from some of the 2019 boards, we were part of the same IVF group at that time I believe. How have you been? Congratulations on your baby! Glad to see things worked out for you!

AFM - beta was this morning and now I'm on pins and needles waiting for the call. I'm so nervous I can't even focus on work. AH! I wish they'd call already and put me out of my misery

zwink1 · October 2021

FX for you @Tulips29!

Congrats @bender29!

AFM - not much happening here at the moment. Next US is scheduled for the 21st and transfer is tentatively planned for the 29th.

Tulips29 · October 2021

Beta results are in...

First beta came back at 148! I'm excited and staying cautiously optimistic and hoping it continues to go in a positive direction from here. I go back on Monday for a repeat. I asked why not Saturday as it's 48 hours later, which I thought was the standard protocol. My nurse said I could come in on Saturday, but my beta + progesterone levels were fine enough for them to do a repeat on Monday. Now I'm not sure if I should calm my nerves and go on Saturday (it's a treck on the weekends) or just wait until Monday as advised by the nurse.

romeoandjuliet146 · October 2021

@Tulips29 Great news! What did you decide? I know it's hard having to wait till Monday.

Tulips29 · October 2021

@romeoandjuliet146 thank you! I'm still contemplating, but leaning towards leaving this until Monday. It's a long commute to the clinic for me, especially on the weekends and parking situation is not great either. So I'm debating still, but wondering if my nerves can hold off until Monday...

ferndeezy · October 2021

Congrats @Tulips29 and @bender29!!!
@zwink1 good luck with your next u/s! The 29th can't come soon enough.
@romeoandjuliet146 I hope you are doing well and that baby is growing strong!

AFM- I had my u/s yesterday and was good to start POI and endometrium. My FET is officially scheduled for next week on the 20th! 1st beta is the 29th. I hope time goes by quick and that I am blessed and able to join in the journey that some of you are on right now! Praying for all of us!

teamginger13 · October 2021

Hi ladies! I know I’m late to the party but still wanted to jump in! My FET is tentatively scheduled for last week in October. I’ve done 6 rounds of IVF over the years and countless transfers but I do have a DD conceived from IVF 3 so I know it can work!!

This time around we are literally doing everything.. baby aspirin, steroids, blood thinner injections, and IV intralipid infusions - anyone done those before? Im throwing the kitchen sink at it bc we have 1 AA PGS normal embryo frozen. The only other embryo we have is a day 7 BB (didn’t even know they could freeze on day 7 honestly).

It looks like there has been some great success on this board already which is awesome to see!

ferndeezy · October 2021

Welcome @teamginger13! I personally have not had all of those, but I hope it works for you!! Happy to hear you've had success in the past! Did you have PGS testing on the BB too? Just curious

romeoandjuliet146 · October 2021

@ferndeezy Good luck next week!

ferndeezy · October 2021

Thank you @romeoandjuliet146!!

Tulips29 · October 2021

@ferndeezy thank you! And good luck to you on Wednesday as well!

@teamginger13 Welcome! I have not done any of that, but fingers crossed it all works out for you this cycle!

AFM - we had a busy weekend so I decided to follow instructions and wait until this morning for beta #2. Now it's the waiting game. I kept telling DH all weekend that I don't feel anything in there which makes it weird to even think something's even happening. I hope all the right things are happening though! Of course now that I'm in work mode, I can't focus on anything except my thoughts.

teamginger13 · October 2021

@ferndeezy thank you! Yes the day 7 embryo is PGS normal also but my RE said that even though its normal it only holds a 40% chance of success because it was frozen on day 7. Not sure why that is exactly and I was so excited to have an AA embryo that I didnt even ask haha. GL on your upcoming transfer! So exciting!!

@Tulips29 fingers crossed your beta comes back high! The waiting is the absolute worst.

italianmommy8 · October 2021

Hi! Good seeing you here on this board again.

Question for everyone,. I had my FET on Friday and my last blood work was on Tuesday, 10/12 where my progesterone was at 19 and estrogen at 310 and this morning was next blood work and both my level dropped to progesterone 15.92 and estrogen 301. The nurse called me and put my on oral progesterone to take a bedtime tonight in addition to my 1ml shot every morning. Of course I am nervous this means it won't result in a BFP. With my last FET my progesterone and estrogen kept increasing after transfer. I am only 3 DPT today but wondering if you guys have any insight. Thanks
