FET probably a yes finally!

Scan today (Cd7 for natural FET) was ok with a whopping 17mm lead follicle, lining only 5.5 but we don’t think I’ll ovulate for a few days still so lining should go over the 7 mark.

Waiting for bloods - he insisted on repeating TSH, and did LH, estrogen and progesterone, but also did prolactin since I had such a light bleed.

He’s going to give me estrogen and progesterone support after transfer so whilst it’s natural before transfer, I’ll have extra support after. I’ve been reading studies that have shown higher success rates with higher estrogen levels in the luteal phase so we are throwing that in.

I also asked about HCG rescue shots where you inject HCG every 3 days, and he is willing to do that too, I’m not sure just because of the waiting torment as you have to wait all the way to first scan to know if it’s worked as you obviously can’t test, BUT, with 3 consecutive pregnancies failing to implant and all my miscarriage clinic tests showing everything ok, my gut feeling is that I should go for it. Has anyone done that?

Seen a few early BFPs today, amazing news!!xx

I am so happy that things are finally working for you. Things really are taking the right direction. Just stay positive and calm. Good luck to you! I am sure that this must have been so exciting for you. Your post gives me so much hope. I hope that even for us there is soon a BFP. However, just take extreme care of yourself.
