Natural FET embryo transfer timing

[Beechnut1]

Hi everyone, just a really quick question 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 I will be having a natural FET this month.

I am not having any scans or trigger etc just monitoring LH surge and then transfer 6 days after that.

My question is: is the day of my LH surge counted as day 1 or does the count to transfer day start the day after? Hope that makes sense!

Not sure if it helps but I had my LH surge on a Monday night and had the FET on the Saturday. Good luck!

Thank you! Did you have a 6 day embryo transferred? 💕

Hi Beechnut. Day 1 is day of transfer. You are considered to be 2 weeks pregnant at transfer. Good luck! Diane

Hey lovely. I’ve just phoned my clinic with a. Positive ovulation. I asked the question! It’s day 1 today with first positive ovulation so I am looking at Wednesday transfer. Hope that helps xx 💕

Thank you that’s so helpful, are you transferring a day 6 embryo too? All the luck in the world with your transfer 💕💕💕

For the life of me I can’t remember if ours is 5or6day frozen embryo. I will have to ask the embryologist when they phone. Thanks for the good luck 💕

Hey lovely. Read my last post. It’s clearer info on it about transfer days. Mines on Thursday so they class day 1 as one day after positive opk and I am having a 6day transfer. First nurse told me wrong 😑 xx

Hi Beechnut, I'm not 100% certain, but my impression is that the LH surge day counts as day 1. Also, I'm not positive, but I thought it doesn't matter whether the embryo is day 5 or 6, but they time the transfer to when they think your uterus will be best suited, which is usually day 6 (or 5 days post ovulation if you want to think about it that way). So if you have an LH surge on Monday, they do Sat transfer regardless of whether it's a day 5 or day 6 embryo. I'm not positive about this, but that was just impression I got from my clinic when I was doing natural FET.

The LH surge is the marker when ovulation happens 12-36 hours later. Are you taking progesterone? That usually starts 5 days before transfer so if you’re transferring a day 5 embryo the way to work out day 1 is count back the days 543210 - and 0 is day one (e.g the day the embryo would have implanted)- then you add 2 weeks on to get exactly how many weeks you would be pregnant. I assume that’s why you’re asking about day 1?
