FET Timings?

[Busterkitten]

So...I’m a month away from my 43rd birthday and I have one embryo frozen. Finally got my weight down and got my period today. I’m going to phone the hospital tomorrow but I’m not sure what to expect re: timings as my cycle is usually 5-7 weeks. I’m also really worried now that the Coronavirus is going to set me back even more time. Just wondering if anyone has any info on this? Any advice would be much appreciated. Anxiety levels are going through the roof incase I miss my age cut off.

Hi Busterkitten,

Sorry you’re so stressed! Last thing you need right now.

Are you doing a medicated or natural frozen transfer?

Hope this helps but I did a medicated one and the timeline was:

Started Progynova on first day of full period. Baseline scan two days later

8 days later, scan to check lining was thick enough. Started progesterone.

5 days later transfer done.

Xx

Thanks for your reply! Wow that was very fast, I suspect I’ll be doing a natural FET as I was told at least three weeks til an appointment. Still trying to get hold of the hospital to confirm this tho. Tbh even if it’s postponed due to everything else that’s going on I don’t mind, as long as I’m in the system and don’t miss out. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Hi Busterkitten. Just wanted to wish you well with this, for whenever you get the go ahead. Meanwhile, your little embie is quite safe while waiting for transfer. Thinking f you. Diane

Thank you. I finally got to speak to someone at the booking line this afternoon, however as of today all treatments are being suspended in order to deploy staff to prioritise coronavirus. I don’t know what this means for me as I will surely miss my age cut off. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they will take exceptional circumstances into account 🤞🏼
