Does anyone have frozen embryo transfer stories...success or otherwise...?

[Mommyagain]

I am starting my Lupron tomorrow and my first FET journey. I go Feb. 4 for evaluation and if all looks good my FET will be on Feb. 8. I am excited and nervous. I know it could very well go either way. Does anyone else have FET stories...good, bad, or ugly?

 

[Mommyagain]

My transfer will probably be Feb11 because my lining wasn't ready. I go for another u/s tomorrow and will find out for sure.

Just wanted to Bump this thread...

Hi Mommyagain!!! I just came across this thread and saw it was you! I ALSO noticed that you have your FET today- YAY! congrats darling, how did it go?
I have a FET coming up in March too. I sure hope this works for you!!! xx

Hello!! It went really good. I am PUPO with twins as of 1:30pm...lol. The transfer was really smooth and they got them in on the first try. One was graded an A/A and one a A/B. I got their little pics and I just want to keep staring at them. We had one embryo that didn't survive the thaw so we only have two left after this try. I have actually been feeling really positive and upbeat. I am praying that this is a good sign. I just feel good emotionally. The frozen cycle is easier than the fresh. I haven't felt as down. The progesterone this time though has really thrown me for a loop...causing tummy problems. But for a BFP...bring it on. I hope these little ones stick around.

So how have you been? When in March do you think you will be starting your cycle?

Ok, sorry for the ramble. I am just so excited right now that if I wasn't on bedrest I would be hopping around the house right now.

YAY! well congrats dear, that is all very exciting and sounds promising!
sorry about the tummy issues though, that is never fun, but yes, I suppose for the illusive BFP what WONT we do/go through?

Our FET will be mid march if everything goes according to 'plan' and there are no unforeseen complications. Sorry that one of the embies didnt make it I am so scared that we will lose one (or worse more than one!), it is scary isnt it??

so glad to hear you sounding so upbeat!!! keep up the smiles! x

Losing embryos is terrifying. I didn't realize how scared I was yesterday until I was getting ready to walk into the FS office. I started crying and my DH was confused as to what was wrong. I told him I was scared and he thought I was talking about what was getting ready to happen but I meant I was scared of what may not happen. I walked to the bathroom, cleaned my face, and took some deep breathes and once I was in there and my frosty babies were in my belly I just felt totally at peace.

It still amazes me how tough the little embryos must be to go through the process. I joke with my DH that if it is successful our baby/ies will be able to handle the colder weather well.

So it wont be long until you start meds for your FET then? Or are you doing a natural one? I started my b/c for my FET a while before everything else. Will you being doing Lupron? I am keeping my fx for you!!!!

Im on BCP now and once AF comes (end of Feb) we'll check to make sure there are no cysts before starting oral estrogen for another 3 weeks. No lupron this time apparently. YAY!

well, you sound great which is lovely to hear. stay chilled out and happy darling, Ive got FX for you too!!! xx

Hi
I was searching for success stories and came across your post. i did my first IVF in august 2012 and got a BFP. I miscarried at 6 weeks. I did another fresh cycle in November which resulted in BFN. I am no waiting to do a FET in March and is very scared of the outcome. I dont think I cab go through this again

 

[Mommyagain]

I did my first fresh IVF cycle in august 2012 too. I am now moving onto my second FET...my first one resulted in a BFN. So I go at the end of next week for an u/s and if all looks ok in there then I will be getting a schedule for my next cycle. I am thinking that the actual transfer will be towards the end of April. These are my last two little embryos so I am praying they thaw ok and stick around.

Hi I just found out this thread 10 days ago i had my fresh embryo transfer... today I had my blood work the dr call me and it was BFN i am so devastated.... she said I need to prepare for FET ..... someone can tell me how is thw process? You think maybe i had hope..! I am 23 years old the dr told me i had 85% to become pregnant and i didnt.... i cry all day and i dont jnow what to expect...

 

[Mommyagain]

So sorry. I was given about a 60% chance of my fet working and I was so devastated that is didn't take so I know exactly how you feel. On the positive side FET's really are easier than fresh transfers. I was on b/c, Lupron, crinone 8% gel, climara patches, estradiol, vitamin d, prenatal, aspirin, doxycycline, prednisone...I think that is it. There are a lot of protocols so yours could be different. I know some ladies even do non-medicated fets. Basically I had one vaginal u/s to make sure all was ok in there. Then I took my meds according to my schedule and didn't see the fs again until it was close to transfer time. I only had two u/s's during my actual cycle. Emotionally I felt good during my FET, much better than I had felt during my fresh. Unfortunately my first FET didn't work so I am going march 13 for an u/s and if all is ok I will be getting a schedule for my second FET with my last two embies. Praying they both survive the thaw and make themselves cozy. How many embryos do you have?
