FET on Friday

Due to have first FET on Friday. Anyone else? Not sure how I’m feeling about it to be honest. I thought I’d be excited, but my experience of OHSS last November has really knocked me.

Just wondered how anyone else felt/feels. Trying to make sense of my world at the moment, and not in a great place.

Hi Phoebe I’m having my first FET tomorrow. I also had OHSS in Feb and felt rotten, and I’ll be honest it kind of put me off any more treatment.

But here were are. I think the stims made me feel physically ill, and the meds for FET mess up your emotions pretty badly. At least they have with me especially since staring progesterone last week. Maybe it’s that making you feel low?

I’ve had many wobbles in the last few days (my poor husband). But as he keeps reminding me we’re further along than we’ve ever been.

Focus on the end goal ❤️

I'm the same! I wish I knew now what time I'll be in tomorrow 😬 I didn't have a particularly great transfer last time, so I'm also majorly stressing about that, but I had bad circumstance leading up to it which won't I won't have tomorrow, so trying to keep positive but it's so hard!! Xxx

Yes! They called today to ask a few questions, and said they would call me in the morning to let me know what time to go in. Xx

Thank you! It wasn't too bad. I got a call at 10.55 and they wanted me in at 12.10, I had literally 15 minutes to get out the door, it takes an hour for me to get to the clinic 🤦🏼‍♀️ but it's all done now, and I just have the dreaded 2ww to go. How are you feeling about Friday? Xx

Thank you, I did feel a bit stressed with the timing, but I was still early! It's great you know what time you'll be in on Friday, you'll be totally prepared ready to go! Keep busy, take your mind off of it, but you will be absolutely fine! Xx

I have just got my BFP 5 weeks 6 days today from a FET - the reason I am saying this is to hopefully give you hope xx

I’m so nervous about it I have a fresh transfer in 2017 and it worked had a little girl, we then tried again last year frozen and I went in very confident with no concerns and it didn’t work so this time I definitely feel more anxious! How are you feeling? I have to be there for 3:30 so I’ve got all day to pace around the house haha xx

Not really sure how I’m feeling, but I’ve been fairly low for a while now. This is our first transfer - trying to protect myself with the idea that if it doesn’t work then hopefully we’ll learn something before we try another transfer.
