Hey everyone
So I had my FET last Saturday and it went really well. Just to fill you guys in on the background this is my second FET. After the first one failed we had the rest of the embryos tested and one came back normal so that’s what went back in. This time we do things differently where I’ve had steroids to take just before transfer and inhixa injections from the date of transfer. I started my progesterone pessaries five days before transfer and have been having my estradiol valeerate for a while now. My consultant thought a down rack protocol would work better this time. As my first transfer was so awful we decided to have a mock transfer in the summer which gave us a better indication of positioning of my uterus as well as the depth of my cervix.
What my consultant did discover is it looks like I have scar tissue from my first pregnancy which has attached my uterus to my tummy wall and is making it difficult for me to become pregnant.
This time after transfer I decided to stay in a hotel for two nights to stay away from all the household mayhem that may be going on and just have time to myself to do nothing. I felt pretty relaxed and stress free up until about two or three days ago. It’s funny how it creeps up on you . This embie has gone through a lot with being defrosted for for testing and then refreezing to be used again last week. So it is a tough cookie. I just hope it really does stick this time. I think people expect you to know what your pregnancy symptoms are going to be but when I was pregnant the first time I didn’t even realise I was pregnant until I was about six weeks gone so I’m one of those people that don’t have any symptoms and even when I have totm they are the same as pregnancy symptoms .
Just reaching out to you all for some positive vibes and reassuring words to help me through. Test day is Friday, the 4th of October and I have ordered some home pregnancy test which should be arriving by the first or the 2nd of October. I am so tempted to test early
