FET timeline

[Spongy]

Hi everyone.... I am currently down regulating for a FET cycle. I have done 11 days of buserelin so far and have a scan booked on Tuesday to see if I am ready to start oestrogen. Can anyone tell me roughly how from there it is until the actual transfer?

Thanks,

Vicky.

Hi Spongy. If all is well with the scan on Tuesday, then oestrogen for approximately 7-10 days, then transfer, but check with your clinic, as they have their own ideas about this. Good luck and I hope you don't have to wait too long. Diane

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the reply. Do I have to take progesterone for 5 days before transfer if it's a blastocyst transfer?

Thanks,

Vicky.

Hi Vicky. If that's what they have prescribed, then OK. It should control your womb lining, hopefully to give you a good chance of implantation. Good luck! Diane

Good luck! My FET process has been slightly different.

I had a one of injection on cycle day 21, then when I had my period on day 3 of cycle I started taking progynova (estrogen) and I took this for 15 days then had a scan to check lining. At my scan they confirmed I was now ready for transfer they told me to take proestrogen for 5 days prior to transfer. So from when you start taking estrogen to transfer it's around 3 weeks (or it was with my clinic anyway)

So you are nearly ready for transfer? Good luck! Is this your first?

That's so helpful thank you. I just want to get to the end of it!!!

Thank you 😊 I have transfer this Tuesday. This is my second and it's a frozen transfer. First was back in October which resulted in a chemical pregnancy.

I know all the waiting around and not knowing when things will happen it's very frustrating.

Hope all goes well at your scan on Tuesday! Xxx

Thank you Diane. I am just being impatient. I will get more info at my scan Tuesday but it just can't come quick enough!!!
