FET done after a very emotional day!🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[Kat9lives]

Hi ladies

Hope you're all ok. I've had a long day! It started with a 1.5hr drive to our clinic for our FET. We were very lucky to have 3 frosties and the embryologist was going to try thawing one blastocyst for transfer and then ring us en route.

We got the call at 10 this morning, the first embryo had failed to thaw. The clinic had previously told us they have a 90% success rate with thawing so we were immediately gutted and then worried that it was something to do with the quality of our embryos. We agreed to thaw a second embryo, and half an later got the call that that too had failed. At this point I burst into tears, too scared to imagine what might happen to our final embryo. They said they'd see us at the clinic and decide from there.

The rest of the journey felt like the longest ever journey. I've tried so hard to be positive throughout this cycle but everything just hit me. We got to the clinic and they said the third embryo hadn't had enough time in the embryscope to determine if it was viable so sent us away and to come back for 1.30... talk about nerves!

We had lunch, scared to talk about the what ifs or risks... Making small talk about the stupid sandwiches! By the time we got back to the clinic I was worn out and tbh fully expecting negative news. The embryologist said that we could relax and that they thought it was viable!! I was in shock. No idea what to feel as I was so prepared for bad news!

So... After a long day (we're still on the road, on the way back on the 1.5hr drive home now) I have had the transfer and weirdly... Lucky embryo number 2 (on the slide) was put in on 22nd of the 2nd month, at... Yep! TWO OCLOCK!! 😂

Now I'm just hoping and wishing and praying that this little fighter stays put. But for now... Just happy to have good news.

Off to accupuncture when I get home and then I'm ready for a sleep!! Best of luck to you all ladies, it's not easy but it's a bloody miracle sometimes! Xxx 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞❤️❤️❤️

[Kat9lives in reply to Paris1771]

Thanks lovely, that's very kind of you. What stage are you at in your cycle etc? Xxxx

[Paris1771 in reply to Kat9lives]

Im not at a good stage right now! I had my first natural pregnancy8weeks ago but the fetus didnt grow up after week4or5 and we had a termination yesterday! It’s tough but it rarely happens! U must be optimistic about yourself and hopefully u will get the best bfp ever soon! Take care &relax! xxxxxxx

We lost one at thaw on one of our fets and that was upsetting enough so to lose two is horrible. Well done you for getting there in the end! And good luck for your tww xx

[Kat9lives in reply to Tugsgirl]

I was surprised how upset I was tbh, as we've had fresh cycles before when we've lost lots more embryos, but I think you become attached to the frosties! Maybe I'm nuts! 😂 Thanks lovely. I hope you're doing ok? Xx

[Tugsgirl in reply to Kat9lives]

It’s so so scary to be told an embryo didn’t survive the thaw. You expect to lose embryos after EC. You don’t expect to lose any at fet because as you said, the success rate of thawing is so high.

I’m doing ok, I think 🤔 I have a private scan tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xx

[Kat9lives in reply to Tugsgirl]

🤞🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 to you lovely xxx

Oh gosh, what a rollercoaster of a day! Thrilled for you that one made it - hopefully you’ve got a little fighter on your hands and they plan to stick around. All the best for the 2ww xx

[Kat9lives in reply to KJLee]

Thank you, that's so kind of you. I know we all have to take lots of hormones but I'm feeling very emotional (in a good way!) today and this forum is full of such lovely and supportive people. I hope you're doing well too. Xx

[KJLee in reply to Kat9lives]

Glad it’s in a good way! ☺️ the journey is so full of ups and downs isn’t it. We had one embryo from our FET and it made the thaw which we didn’t expect and now I’m sitting here 20 weeks pregnant! So I’m feeling hopeful for you 💪🏻 you’ve got this 🙌🏻 think sticky thoughts 😂 xx

[Kat9lives in reply to KJLee]

Aww fantastic! Congratulations! I hope all's well with your pregnancy. We are very lucky to have had a little girl from our 2nd cycle. I hope you're managing to enjoy your pregnancy and rest when you need to! Take care xx

What a traumatic emotional day. Hope you're both ok. Take care of yourself on the coming days you must be emotionally exhausted. Fingers crossed for your little survivor. Hope you're feeling better from your cold too xx
