Round 2 - Terrified

[Leo2017]

So I started progynova today for Round 2 - our first frozen cycle after a failed fresh in Sept!! Terrified - mainly of the emotional rollercoaster again, I’ll turn 40 during this cycle and I think that’s just adding to my anxiety!!

Any tips from you lovely ladies that have been through a frozen round would be great! I’ve heard about pomegranate juice & beetroot before transfer, anything else?!

Wishing you all the best of luck whatever stage you’re at!! 🤞🏻 xx

Sorry no tips but I'm also on my first fet cycle, I had my prostap injection on Thursday last week.

Good luck on your cycle x

Hi love I also had a failed fresh cycle but I’m pregnant now with our frozen one n I must say this round was much easier for us less injections too. I dnt really have any tips but I did relax more this time round. Wish u all the best x

[Leo2017 in reply to sandy112]

Thank you for your reply which gives me hope!! Yes i can already see the medical side should be easier hopefully with the frozen cycle - just the emotional rollercoaster of it all!! 😕 thank you & congratulations on your lovely news!! xx

Hello there, I had a FET last month after a chemical pregnancy with my first fresh cycle. OTD is tomorrow eek? And I haven’t been able to bring myself to Test early. Second time around I took things more easy, I took the week off work after transfer. I drank pomegranate juice, ate fresh pineapple including the core and lots of nuts especially Brazil nuts. I also gave up alcohol after the first cycle and gave up caffeine after the FET. Don’t know whether any of these things have worked yet! I did find it harder emotionally going through the FET, although it was easier in the sense that I knew what was coming. All the best. Try and relax although easier said than done.

Loads of luck for tomorrow Sanchia!xx

Thank you for your reply & wishing you the best of luck for tomorrow!! 🤞🏻

Yes I’m also taking some time of after transfer - my work is stressful and I don’t want that added pressure!! Did you do the pomegranate juice just up to the transfer? xx

[sanchia46 in reply to Leo2017]

I did the juice before and after.

Wishing you lots and lots of luck. I’m starting progynova this morning as I’m using donor eggs in my treatment this time round. Never been through this particular process before so I’ll be looking for some tips too. I am feeling excitement and terror in fairly equal measures. Looking forward to hearing how you are getting on xx

[Leo2017 in reply to Dunla]

Thank you so much, likewise this is my first frozen so I’ve not been through this or used progynova etc!!

That’s exactly how I’m feeling, although swaying more towards fear of it not working again!!

Wishing you the very best of luck and hoping you get your bfp!! xx

Good luck with this round Hun I hope you get your BFP! We are doing our first FET too, hopefully transfer will be towards the end of the month. Xxx

[Leo2017 in reply to Penders]

Thank you so much Penders!! I remember we went through our first fresh round about the same time!! I was so sorry to hear your news and I hope you’re doing okay!!

Wishing you the very best of luck for this cycle & hope you get your bfp!! I’ll be looking out for your updates!! xx

[Penders in reply to Leo2017]

I'm ok thanks, took a while to process my emotions but I'm getting there! I'll be keeping my eye out for your updates too! Xx

Good luck I have a FET planned for February and have my scratch booked in for next week. Xx

[Leo2017 in reply to CJ104]

Thank you very much & good luck for your next cycle!! 🤞🏻xx

Keep your feet and tummy warm. I also took vitamin E capsules from superdrug too which is suppose to help thicken the lining but if you've never had lining issues before then I wouldnt worry too much. Hopefully the progynova will do as its meant to. Best of luck!xx

[sanchia46 in reply to Cinderella5]

Yes I bought thermal socks. My doc also advised me to take vitamin D.

[Leo2017 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you, I’ve been taking pregnacare which has vitamin E in it but I wonder should I be taking extra? My lining got to just over 7 for the fresh cycle but I’ve not done a frozen round before!!

Wishing you the very best of luck also!! xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Leo2017]

Oh Im sure not how much is in pregnacare! I was taking the 800ug capsules from Superdrug. Well fingers crossed. They can up your progynova if need be too!xx

[Leo2017 in reply to Cinderella5]

Oh thank you, I’ll check how much is in it!! I have my scan on 19th so hopefully they won’t need to but guessing that’s when they’ll check if progynova needs increased!! xx
