Transfer day today

[Williamsgirl1]

HiI've had my 4th transfer today another good quality embryo so fingers crossed yet again.

This is my first natural FET and I'm having 3 doses of Ovitrelle. I wondered if anyone else has had this and also the progesterone pessaries? I haven't been given any this time as was told it should be needed as I've got the Ovitrelle. I wondered of this is normal practice?

Also anyone else starting the 2ww today?

Thank you ladies x

Dear Williamsgirl1, congratulations on your transfer! I hope it all went smoothly and you are feeling happy and optimistic! The clinic will be able to explain better what the Ovitrelle is meant to do and some ladies on here may well share your protocol but I suspect as you are doing a completely natural transfer your body would be producing all the progesterone needed to support the pregnancy. Any hCG given in addition would probably kind of trick your body into thinking you're definitely pregnant and amp up the progesterone production naturally but the nurses should be able to explain this. Did your clinic test your P4 levels today? Hope you'll get a really good night's rest and I pray that you will be able to enjoy this 2WW, I remember you felt quite anxious a few weeks ago. xx

HiYeah I'm feeling much more relaxed now, trying to remember that we can self fund another cycle if we choose to keep myself out of the last chance mind set, actually feel quite relaxed at the moment.

The clinic didn't feel extra progesterone was needed so I'm fine to go along with that.

Thanks for messaging.

That all sounds really encouraging! Keep up the positive mood in this long wait, you can do it! X

Thank you having to take an Ovitrelle again on Wednesday will also keep me away from the early testing temptation lol 😆 xx

Hi Williamsgirl. Just wanted to wish you all the best, and don’t forget the pineapple core! Ovitrelle is often used to keep the lining sustained. Diane

Don't worry I'm part women part pineapple lol 😆 took my second Ovitrelle last night and next one due Wednesday xx

Hello, I am on this exact protocol for natural FET. Had 3 doses of HCG and my clinic have said they won't prescrbe progesterone until positive test as the hcg injections will help my body to produce enough. Its worrying nonetheless. I am 6dp5dt at the minute. Wishing you all the best xx

Hi My OTD is tomorrow but unfortunately I've started bleeding and have a BFN so I'm out already looking into funding a cycle.

Wishing you all the best.

I don't know how you feel but this was actually the best I felt put of all the transfers very little symptoms with this protocol, good luck xx

[Lk2604 in reply to Williamsgirl1]

I am so sorry to hear that, this is such a rollarcoaster and can be so heartbreaking. Take care of yourself and I hope everything works out with a funded cycle. xxI think I have felt the most normal on this cycle, than both my previous fresh cycles. Although I have been really struggling with cramps this time, unsure if its the hcg injections. xx

[Williamsgirl1 in reply to Lk2604]

I had alot of cramps too but I would say less than other times. I generally felt a bit more normal this time lol. Best of luck for you xx
