Hello Ladies :wave:,
May I join? My third attempt at IVF/FET will be in May.
My story is slightly unusual in that I didn't do the entire IVF protocol. I was doing a (over)medicated IUI cycle that resulted in 9 eggs (8 mature). They wanted to cancel the cycle, but I was not going to let 9 eggs die! So, we converted to IVF. We transferred one top grade blastocyct, resulting in m/c at 7 weeks. We were able to freeze 3 5-day blasts.
FET #1 resulting in a chemical. I'm waiting for it to resolve now. In the next few days, I'll start BCPs for FET #2, expected in early May. The RE says that the m/c's are a result of chromosomal abnormalities and we just have to keep trying to find the right embryo. We have unexplained infertility, the embies are implanting, they found nothing wrong with either of us, but age. Ugh, when will this happen? We need a !
Lucie: nice to see you here. I hope you're doing well
First try - I have a question regarding FETa. How many weeks of injections do you have to do beforehand. ?
Every RE is different. Mine makes me take BCPs for 15-19 days, then estrodiol shots (1 every third day) for 25 days. I'm including all the days through transfer day. Lining check is on day 19 of shots. If your lining is thin, you might have to do more shots or wait a few more days. However, I've also seen shorter protocols. And ones that skip the BCPs altogether.
I got my transfer date wrong before. It will be May 9.
