Just back from my first ever FET! Let the two weeks of wondering commence!

I cannot believe how quick a FET is. No fuss in and out.

Really had hoped to see a screen with a picture or something.... but zero. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Hard to even feel anything? Is this normal ?

I just feel like I had a very uncomfortable smear test? Anyone else the same?

Weird times.

Not looking forward to test day on the 8th Feb , feels like soooooooo far away!

Time to chill and watch more Netflix . Don’t know why I was awake so early for what felt like nothing 🀣

Thanks for your support ivf sisters

Much love

Best of luck for the 2WW. Glad the FET wasn't a big deal for you! Thought they would have shown you on the screen or something, though. Oh well, in and out. Now on to relaxing and not thinking about implantation. Yeah, right! :) xxxx

I had my fresh transfer a week ago and I didn’t even realise the catheter was in, completely painless.

I had some mild cramping on day 3 and day 4 then nothing, then over the last two days have had a small amount of mild cramp again and just feel like I’m about to come on. We didn’t have any to freeze so this one embryo is our only shot and I just keep crying thinking it’s all over. Another week to go for me until test day but I get the feeling I won’t make it that far before my body lets me know I’m not pregnant.

Best of luck to you and your embryo.

Welcome to crazy town! πŸ€ͺ

So happy it went smoothly for you despite your hubby waffling on πŸ˜‚

They do normally show you it on a screen, maybe it wasn’t working today or something but it doesn’t affect anything so 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻 you’re on your way to a BFP xx

🀣🀣🀣πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ crazy town indeed . Don’t think it’s actually hit me. It’s like βœ… now what’s next . Glad I checked my meds before I left the clinic as they had only given me enough progesterone for today and tomorrow 🧐 that would not have been fun πŸ˜†

Oh lucky you thought to check! πŸ˜…

KiboXX in reply to RhinoCat

Oh I bet and I’d like to tell you it’ll be here before you know it but it’s probably going to crawl along!

Mine is tomorrow, feels like I had my transfer a year ago!! πŸ˜‚

RhinoCat in reply to KiboXX

Oh wow for you then! That time flew for me but not you πŸ€ͺπŸ˜‚ I’ll say by time I get Feb 8th it will have felt like a year too 🀣

KiboXX in reply to RhinoCat

Probably! πŸ˜‚ Hope you got lots planned for the next two weeks to keep you occupied x

You are PUPO, yay ! People recommend watching comedies and having a good old giggle after transfer and it’s totally a good idea to keep your mind occupied over your TWW.

Wishing you lots of luck

Great news RhinoCat! So glad the embryo thawed ok and was all ready for you😍 I had my ET earlier too. I was up early as well, not as bad as you though πŸ™ You must be shattered... Are you feeling ok? xx

RhinoCat profile image
RhinoCat in reply to AuroraXen

Hey, yeah I feel normal which is weird. How are you? Did everything go ok for you today? πŸ’

AuroraXen profile image
AuroraXen in reply to RhinoCat

Yes I think so! Just like a more uncomfortable and longer smear πŸ˜‚ I'd expected a crowd of people in there, as some ladies report lots of staff 😨 But just the doctor, a nurse doing an ultrasound to guide him, and the embryologist. Had both of the more developed blasts put back in the end πŸ’ž : hope that was the right choice πŸ˜“ Hope you get a better night of sleep tonight xx

RhinoCat profile image
RhinoCat in reply to AuroraXen

I ended up with a nurse and consultant . The embryologist was through a window in the wall in the lab πŸ”¬ not as bad as my mind had imagined . Uncomfortable and long indeed! The clamp thing took a tug to get out but was fab after it had been taken out πŸ™ˆπŸ˜†πŸ˜ A double good luck to you then πŸ’πŸ’πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ€©πŸ€©πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ’–πŸ’– May we all sleep well tonight 😘

Yeah I'm not too bad thank you. I've been here before unfortunately πŸ˜‚ just keeping myself relatively distracted and occupied Haha. Howre you?

bms12 in reply to AuroraXen

Not bad, this is my second transfer now. Thought it was pretty bad the first time (Drank too much so was tensing up so I didnt wer myself which then hurt my cervix which then refused to let go of the speculum πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ) but I drank just 500mls this time and was fine, little uncomfortable but done in a few minutes. Worst bit for me is having a light shining on my floo with people staring at it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

AuroraXen profile image
AuroraXen in reply to bms12

Yeah... I'd read about that but it all seemed so ludicrously undignified that I started laughing and then had to pinch myself πŸ˜‚ It wasn't bad otherwise. I did to see the spot on the screen where doctor put them 😍 surreal! xx

bms12 profile image
bms12 in reply to AuroraXen

I was trying not to laugh true to sheer awkwardness πŸ˜‚ I laugh in all and every situation that I'm uncomfortable πŸ˜‚ yeah its fascinating to see the fluid containg the embryo enter the womb

Well done lovely and all the best for the 2ww I know it's the worst wait ever, but try and keep occupied! We watched the film prisoners on netflix the other night 😱 and 2nd series of the sinner..both a bit dark but good! Xx

Oh I loved sinner but not sure I’ve watched the second series 🧐 thanks for your lovely message πŸ’

Hey I had my first (fresh) transfer on Saturday. My transfer was over an hour after the appointment time so I was bursting for the loo!! I didn’t really feel anything but that might be because I was concentrating on not peeing so much πŸ™ˆha!

Good luck!! I’ve been a Netflix addict the last few days!!

Xx

RhinoCat profile image
RhinoCat

Mmmm mine just seemed odd as I’d googled the life out of what it would be like and watched two videos of actual transfers. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ time to get on with this waiting business πŸ€£πŸŽ‰ how are you? Do you just feel normal too?

EmGLA profile image
EmGLA in reply to RhinoCat

Well I had some cramps the first two days but now I just feel normal. I had heard it described as like a smear test so that’s what I was expecting. My consultant did a dry run first and then repeated it with the embryo.

Are you on progesterone too? I’m on two cyclogest pessaries and two lubion injections a day.

Xxx

RhinoCat profile image
RhinoCat in reply to EmGLA

My man was in and out and said it had gone very straight forward πŸ™ˆ wish I had his confidence . I’m taking 3 estrogen tablets a day and 2 progesterone gels (1 morning and 1 night) . Haven’t had any bloods etc , think it’s just how my clinic do it.

Were you told to rest or roam about ? My husband thinks I should be up and running around as normal.

I feel like watching back to back Netflix for the next few days πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

EmGLA profile image
EmGLA in reply to RhinoCat

Yeah I never had any bloods either so it must just be what my clinic do too. I got told not to do any exercise, and to take it easy but not to lie in bed for days on end....

So I guess somewhere in the middle I’ve been taking it easy but I’m back to with tomorrow and I rarely get to sit down. Xx

RhinoCat profile image
RhinoCat in reply to EmGLA

Yeah , think I’ll take today and tomorrow to chill lots then do a bit more from Wednesday on πŸ§˜πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Congratulations on being PUPO and good luck for the 2ww. It’s a shame you couldn’t see your embaby on the screen xx

RhinoCat profile image
RhinoCat in reply to Core

I really should have asked where was the screen ?!?!? πŸ“Ί but the consultant had me clamped up and embryo fired in within minutes. All the while, my husband and him had a great chat ! ( I wanted them to shut up and focus on me πŸ’ƒπŸΌ 😈) my clinic isn’t into sentimentality like me 🀣

Core profile image
Core in reply to RhinoCat

πŸ˜‚ we always get asked if we want a screen when we chat with the embryologist before we go into the theatre. I guess at least there was no pain and it was down quickly xx

Fab news! Plenty of chill time for you for these next two weeks xx
