Any FET Success Stories?

[MollyNorwood]

Jonesbaby- Thank you for the encouragement I will definitely let you all know how the cycle ends up whatever the result
Jillie- Congratulations!! I hope everything goes super smoothly for your c-section next week. Did you have a v birth or c sec first time around? I ended up with an emergency c sec with my daughter but it went really well so have decided if we are lucky enough to get pregnant again, I will get a planned c-sec. Best of luck
Coolstar- Congrats to you too! I also have heard that FET have a higher success rate to fresh cycles and I am glad it worked well for you!
We also decided we wouldn't mind if we ended up with two bubbas close in age, and even though the c-sec went well for my daughter I ended up with a few health issues afterwards. So I figure I'd be better off doing this while I am still young (ish) than waiting 5 years or so. im so excited to be doing this, but i didnt expect to feel as nervous as I did the first time around! haha

Emergency c section at 35+4 with my daughter due to pre eclampsia. She was a teeny tiny 4lb 6oz/ 2000g but had no issues at all. This time no sign of pre eclampsia so it is a scheduled c section. Our family is complete after this. No more babies for us. We are so blessed to be given 1, let alone 2 babies. Bank account also says no!

Funny you should mention bank accounts... Dh and I were talking about conceiving naturally vs ivf. He made a really good point in saying that those who can conceive without paying for help to do so are already about $10k better off compared to those who need help. And thats just for a shot too, no guarantees!

 

[MollyNorwood]

Is it weird I peed on a stick today when I am only 1dp5dt hahaha! I am giving DH the rest of my tests so he can hide them, we already agreed I wouldn't go crazy like i did the last time and we would test together next Thurs night. Seriously, i KNEW there was no way any line would show up anyway.... :/

 

[Jillie89]

I went POAS crazy too. I told myself I was having a chemical after my lines didn't darken from 5dp5dt to 7dp5dt like it did with my daughter. Beta came back just as high for the first draw and stayed up high. They told me it was twin worthy again! So then I convinced myself it was another girl. Its a boy! This whole journey sends us crazy lol. FX for you when you do POAS again!!!

 

[Jonesbaby19]

Haha! POAS at 1dp5dt!

It's so hard isn't it!

I wasn't much better though this pregnancy! I started POAS at 2dp5dt, and to my surprise it came up with a faint but clear BFP at 3dp5dt! So you just never know!

With my daughter, I didn't start testing until 5dp5dt, goodness knows how I was so restrained that time round, but it was positive by then also.

I reallllly hope this is your time Molly. I have everything crossed for you Hun xx

All the best for your impending delivery Jillie!

 

[MollyNorwood]

Ohhhh it IS hard! I said I'd give DH my tests but alas....I didn't...and i tested again today :O hahaha. Still negative, but I hope I am like you JB and get a bfp tomorrow! I only tested every day from 1dp5dt last time as I'd had the trigger shot and wanted to see it leave my system, the line came back as a shadow at 5dp5dt. I keep reminding myself that there is a high chance there wont ever be a second line but im still going to be holding my breath for a few more days i think! Gaaahh this wait is the worst! I forgot how impatient I am lol

 

[Jonesbaby19]

Thinking of you Molly and hope everything is going okay xx

Hey guys would live to join you!!! I been for my 3rd fet on the 6th November.. I'm not that confident about the go as the blastocyst couldn't be graded it was early stages. I hate this waiting it's doing my head in I don't know how I'm going to get through it!!! I to tested today classed as 2dp5dt lol xx

Welcome, welcome Smirn! That's so exciting, 2dp5dt, not long to wait now Hun. Wishing you the absolute very best of luck for this cycle xx

 

[MollyNorwood]

Welcome Smirn! Good luck with this cycle I really hope it's 'third time lucky' in your case!! ((HUGS)) It is almost a physical pain trying to restrain from constant testing! Im back to holding out with it now until Thurs. Even then I will be 6dp5dt so still early but i am hoping that if i end up with a bfp it will at least a faint squinter lol. If not then I will try again every day after. It is hard every month getting bfn's on 'normal' cycles let alone being faced with it when you invest a lot into a cycle through medications, emotions and financials.
Anyone here used progesterone suppositries for your FET cycle? I've decided I hate them even more than the Crinone Gel. I used the gel no worries after my fresh cycle, I wonder why they changed it ?

Keeping everything crossed for you Hun. It is so hard emotionally waiting after IVF. The not knowing either way is really difficult to cope with.

I was on progestrone suppositories until 12 weeks after my FET. I disliked them too. So messy xx

I'm classing today at 12.30 dinner time that I'm now on day 4p5dt so what would that be days past ovulation ? It confuses me 😜😜😱😱

I'm c9lassing today at 12.30 dinner time that I'm now on day 4p5dt so what would that be days past ovulation ? It confuses me ��������

it would technically be 9DPO ( 4 days past a 5 day transfer so 4+5=9)
You could test from 5dp5dt and you MIGHT get a squinter bfp but better wait til 6 or 7dp5dt (which would be 12dpo so better chance at seeing something real)

I know! I couldn't wait to stop them

So far this pregnancy has been pretty hard on my body, with lots and lots of morning sickness... only just stopped feeling sick this week at 16 weeks, but have still vomited this week, just not feeling as nauseous, lots of headaches, and round ligament pain. BUT - I am not complaining, I'd do it a million times over to be blessed with our babies and don't take any of it for granted Just keeping my eye on the prize (so the expression goes)

Not long now to wait until testing day Hun

 

[MollyNorwood]

i think we have a bfp happening.......... :O

 

[MollyNorwood]

[Smirn]

Congrats Hun how many days past transfer are you ? Xx
