FET Transfer 12/11

[Kirstylouisebuck]

Finally have my FET transfer on Thursday (this is my first FET, previously done 2xIVF and 2xIUI) We are transferring one 5ab and today I am so emotional and can’t stop crying, waited so long after my cycle got cancelled because of covid and my last fresh transfer ended in a chemical back in February. It’s so overwhelming and I know I should be excited and grateful but can’t help but feel scared and nervous. I guess it’s best to let it all out but nobody really understands what we are going through although I have a wonderful husband and supportive family. Anyone else transferring this week? Xxx

Hello Kirsty,

I am wishing you the best of luck and all the baby dust for your transfer. May i ask did you have a medicated FET or natural?

Thank you

Frankie xxxx

Hi Kirsty. I’m transferring tomorrow (Weds) and it’s my first FET too. I’ve had one ICSI fresh cycle, which ended as a chemical back in Feb too. I completely know how you’re feeling - the wait because of covid is just awful and then there’s the anxiety on top of that! Wishing you all the very best. Main thing is to do what you need and letting it all out is totally fine! So many emotions going on. Sending lots of baby dust to you! Xxx

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to cloverleaf6]

Thank you for your reply and good luck for tomorrow, sounds like we’ve had a similar process, it’s just nice to know someone somewhere knows how you feel 🧡 sending you lots of baby dust and be nice to hear from you in the 2ww Xxx

[cloverleaf6 in reply to Kirstylouisebuck]

Thank you. Really helps to know other people know how you feel doesn’t it. Would be lovely to hear from you in the 2ww too 😊 xx

Awe hun it’s ok anyone that has done IVF or IUI understands. You should do acupuncture before the transfer. I had 3 total transfers and it wasn’t until the 3rd I did the the acupuncture and both embryos stuck . I’m 6 months with fraternal twins. U got this mama!

[Browngirlinfertile]

Hi Kirstylouise, I’m like 2 weeks behind you, I should be transferring a 5ab at that point which will also be my first FET, after 3 IUI, 1 fresh cycle ivf and 3 miscarriages. I’m absolutely wrecked with nerves but am doing all the things I can to help. I have started drinking Pom juice and have spent bucket loads on Accupuncture. I really wish I could skip 3 weeks into the future. You’re absolutely normal to be feeling the way you are, but lots of people rooting for your success here I’m sure, lots of virtual hugs being sent your way x

Hi Cyprus1975, I have two frozen 5ab and have decided to just transfer the one and keep one frozen 🥶 4aa is great and I wish you all the love and luck. I am on pessaries twice a day and progynova twice a day (2 tablets) my lining was 7.5mm a week ago and the clinic have just phoned to say my embaby survived the thaw 😄 here we go!!!!!!

[Daughterofaking]

Wish you all the best. It will end in praise. Amen

Thank you Kristy!! Wishing you the best today as well!! We can do this :))

[Klsb2110 in reply to Kirstylouisebuck]

How was your transfer yesterday?? Thinking of you while we should be resting

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to Klsb2110]

Hey hun thank you for your message it went well, my frostie survived the thaw well and no complications. The transfer was absolutely fine not painful and apart from feeling bit bloated I feel ok today. I did have a little walk this morning just for some fresh air but cuddled up on the sofa now and not moving, how are you??? 🧡💛

[Klsb2110 in reply to Kirstylouisebuck]

Hi Kirsty! My transfer went good. They said my lining looked good and the embryo was already hatching so now i jus Get to rest and think about all the things i could Be doing haha. Hope you are feeling good! My clinic told me no caffeine at all, is that what your clinic said?

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to Klsb2110]

Ahhhh that’s great news and yes no caffeine, although I haven’t for weeks anyway and my clinic said to take it easy for a few days but a little walk helps with blood circulation and implantation so that’s ok 👌 think we all get told different things tbh 💗💙

[Klsb2110 in reply to Kirstylouisebuck]

Great! Hoping our two weeks goes fast when do u get to test?

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to Klsb2110]

My two week wait is thankfully only 11 days as my embaby was a 5ab so 5 days some already xxx

[Klsb2110 in reply to Kirstylouisebuck]

Same here!! Goodness we’re on the same page. Our clinic didn’t tell us the grade of embryo but it was a day 5 blastocyst. So we get to do a blood test on 24th!

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to Klsb2110]

That’s a shame you don’t know the grade and yes we really are on the same journey - 23rd for me hun but not a blood test just a pregnancy test 🙈😬💗

[Klsb2110 in reply to Kirstylouisebuck]

Ooo exciting still!! I’ll be thinking of you :))

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to Klsb2110]

Going to try really hard not to test early 👌 I’ll be thinking of you too xxx

[Klsb2110 in reply to Kirstylouisebuck]

I thought The same thing. Trying not to do much today but hard not to think about it. But wanna try to wait to test since work should keep me preoccupied for awhile

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to Klsb2110]

I am on furlough so ordered some wrapping paper from Next and going to start my Christmas present wrapping when I feel my mind going crazy, normally day 3&4 are the worst (from previous cycles I’ve found 3-4 days after transfer you hit a brick wall) you feel so negative so Monday onwards I’ll keep busy at home and a bit of fresh air always helps and get Christmasy Xxx

Message me anytime 💚💛

[Klsb2110 in reply to Kirstylouisebuck]

Thank you for the tips! Day four I’ll be back at work. I will Keep in touch with ya closer to our test dates good luck

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to Klsb2110]

[Cyprus1975]

Ah best of luck today hun !!!!!🙏🙏🙏

Please message me later let me know how you are ?

The embryologist said to me about that some

Embryos don’t survive the thaw so I am

Really worried and stressing now !! X

[Rosey2020]

Really hope today went well Kirstylouisebuck! I'm waiting to get started (covid stopped our testing from being completed so there was a bit of a delay) and am already a mess. I can't think about much else and tearful a lot so I'm not sure how I will be further down the road. I keep telling myself it's ok to not be ok because all this is hard. I know what you mean about people not really getting it. I'm not sure even my partner does really or if he does he doesn't show it much. I'm sensing this fertility treatment business can feel like a lonely place sometimes so am glad I've found this forum! Again wish you all the best with your FET!! xxx

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to Rosey2020]

It can be a lonely place and I think it’s hard for family and husbands to understand, I found the books by Sheila Lamb great for others to read “IVF and other Fertility Treatmants” my mum, husband and best friend read it and said it helped loads.

Very happy to say im PUPO all went well today and baby Buck survived the thaw and is on board just so so tired Xxx

Here for anyone that needs a little love or support 💙💗

[Rosey2020]

Thanks for your reply and the tip on the book! Will check that out

Glad it went well today. Rest up xxx

Hi Kirsty Louise buck, just thought I’d join in here! I had my transfer yesterday too (12th) but slightly different as mine is my very first fresh cycle so I feel like a newbie! However covid did affect us as we were due to start in March but it just never happened, can’t imagine what it felt like to have a cycle cancelled or be part way through etc. I am quite nervous though as we had 6 fertilised but all the others were slow growers so they said unlikely we will have any to freeze but will confirm with us tomorrow so feels like a lot is riding on this little embryo, which was way ahead of the rest! My husband is so supportive too but as we are on first cycle family are unaware of exactly what’s going on, that’s what we decided! That may change if this cycle fails and I need more support in the future! Good luck to you for the two week wait! Is your test day 26th November? Have you ever tested early? X

[Kirstylouisebuck in reply to April26]

It’s always lovely when some one transfers on the same day as you don’t feel so alone, I remember my first fresh cycle like it was yesterday everything is so new and scary and another friend of mine recommended this group and I swear it saved me 🙏 I never had any to freeze on my first fresh cycle so I understand how much pressure you feel but try and relax and that’s great your husband is supportive, mine was and still is but I have to be honest as your journey continues IVF becomes part of life and actually my mum has been to most appointments with me this time (sat in the car) and my transfer I did alone. You get used to it if that makes sense and also the amount of time off work required we needed my hubby to work financially. My test date is the 24th and I’ve only ever tested the day before never early early I think being PUPO is a happier place than doing a test (pregnant until proven otherwise) the two week wait becomes valuable when you’ve failed so many times 💙💗 here if you have any questions at all and good luck xxx

[Kirstylouisebuck]

I’m just reading back over the comments as there is so many (thank you 🙏) if I’ve missed anyone’s please message me sending you all baby dust and support 💚 Xxx
