First FET cycle : delays, delays, delays

[everhopeful83]

Hi all!

I am going through my first FET cycle and had my prostap injection 3 weeks ago. I was to go back again today as the lining after 2 weeks wasn’t thin enough.

I’ve gone back today (3 weeks since injection) and it’s a tad THICKER with a follicle growing above 6mm which they tell me shouldn’t happen obviously after the down reg injection.

They took bloods and I’ve to go back in a week to see what’s happening. Feeling very deflated and wondering if this is ever going to happen😫

Sorry for the moan as I know we’re all in a similar boat💝

Has anyone experienced anything similar and was it fixable? In my head I’ve now convinced myself my wee Frosties in the freezer will never be able to be used😩

Hi I’m kind of in a similar position. I started buserelin on day 19 of my last cycle, was a short cycle so advised to start early. Had my period, went for down reg scan, lining still thick, continued buserelin and had 2 further scans and my lining remained at 7.2mm. My cycle was cancelled and I’m waiting on a period. They want to scan me after my period for a plan what to do next, maybe, hopefully start again. I had a mmc in November and I’m hoping it’s nothing left over from that. I had a large follicle too but my bloods showed I was down regulated so I have no idea!

Totally understand and feel your frustrations though! My fresh cycle was all very straightforward and I expected this would be easier, I too feel like I’m in limbo and my poor Frosties are just sat waiting for me! X

Aw it’s so frustrating isn’t it! Just got the call that my oestrogen level is 176 and should be below 150, so to go back again next Tuesday for a further scan, lining is currently 5.2mm.

It’s all the delays that really cause so much frustration😆

Wishing you lots of luck for the next part of your journey xxx💜

5.2mm is so close! Mine was 4.98 at down reg scan on my fresh round so I only just made it! I think my E2 level was 178. Good luck, hopefully you will get some answers. I’m impatient at the best of times so all this waiting is killing me!! X

I felt like I had delays throughout my whole ivf process. Firstly even having to have my eggs frozen and not having a fresh transfer days after collection (due to ohss) and then I had issues with my lining not being thick enough.

We got there in the end and you will too! 💗 I know it doesn’t feel that way now but the hospital need to get everything just perfect to give you the best possible chance.

Good luck x

Thanks so much for the reply. Our cycle was postponed due to OHSS too. Seems like never ending delays. Thanks for your positive story, it definitely gives me hope 💗 hope you’re keeping well xxx

Also try red raspberry leaf tea to thicken your lining. Seems to be highly recommend by lots x
