I have my 5th FET on Wednesday. Trying to feel positive but struggling tbh after 3 failed transfers. Anyone else doing a transfer this week? The only difference to this cycle is my clinic have added in lubion as my progesterone was low on the last one!

hello my transfer is tomorrow!! Would be nice to be 2ww buddies 😊 it’s my 5th transfer and last chance for a sibling with my final frostie. Number 3 gave me my 3 year old. I think progesterone is hugely important so hopefully this makes all the difference for you!
It’s a tough one for me because it’s a very low grade and been told it’s only a 10-15% chance of working. It’s definitely last attempt for me though, I know I can’t emotionally or financially do another cycle. I was torn between squeezing this one in between Xmas or waiting until the new year but I thought it would be nice to start the new year knowing one way or the other. Eek!
May I ask what the story is with your low grade? Today I transferred 1 early stage blastocyst and 1 compacting. I’m 37 with low ovarian reserve. I’m loosing hope and I’m so scared. I’ve definitely got no hopes to build up at this moment in time.x
Congrats on transferring 2 embryos! Hope everything went smoothly for you and you are resting up ☺️
I had a freeze all cycle in 2019 with 5 blastocysts created and they used the high grades first. This last FET is a day 6 4CC so it’s hard to have much hope as you say. At transfer the doctor did say though that the grading isn’t scientific and there’s lots they don’t know.
I once had a transfer with a 4AA to find that it hadn’t re-expanded after the thaw. We still went ahead but I think that is the same as compacted? Is this a fresh transfer for you?
Yes indeed fresh transfer and first time. Only got 4 eggs at ER but all four fertilised. I felt hopeful. We didnt hear anything until this morning before my transfer that none had made it to blastocyst. When we got there around 2 hrs later for a transfer of one of the “ compacts” they said one had made blastocyst. So they asked us to make a decision and transfer two. I’d prepared myself as much as I could for this but I now know nothing can prepare you for the way IVF hurts your heart 😢 I hope the TTW is easy on you ❤️
That’s great that they all fertilised and that you’ve transferred two though. I think that’s a really good idea and I’m keeping everything crossed for you!
It’s such a lot of pressure but you’ve done absolutely everything you can and off the back of ER it’s not easy. Be super gentle with yourself you are pregnant until proven otherwise, try to enjoy the moment. Test day is far off xx
Hi Keepingfaith85, I hope all went well with your transfer I had FET today too! Be good to chat in these next two weeks. When is your OTD? Mines 18th, but I have read some clinics do 9dpt? Good luck and I hope everything goes well xx
Hi Babydust23 (love your username!!) My OTD is the 18th too. Thanks so much lots of love, luck and baby dust to you too! Lovely to find a 2ww buddy! Xx
No single. I did a double in August and it failed. My daughter was from a double too but I thought as I have two left last two tries. Like you emotionally, and financially we just need to draw a line if it doesn’t work
Do you think you will test early? I’m not sure whether I will or not. On one hand I’d like a bit of a gap between finding out and then seeing everyone over Xmas so maybe would give me time to process. Or it might just stress me out more lol
No I don’t know if I will test early this time. I’ve tested early every time except for my first cycle with my daughter and I feel like I’ve jinxed it. Ridiculous I know!
Hi Lucyhannah1, I had my FET this afternoon. It was my second transfer (first failed). My clinic only do single transfers apparently. I have one frostie left after this. Dreading the next few weeks trying to hold out not to test. Its my birthday on the 14th so part of me wants to test then as would be and amazing day if it was positive, however would ruin my day if negative. OTD is the 18th. Good luck for your transfer and wishing you all the best xx
Good luck!!! My OTD will be on the 16th. I def wouldn’t test on the 14th personally as it might be too early and then you’ll feel rubbish on your bday! X
Hi Lucy - I had my second euploid transfer yesterday so now have to wait until 15th Dec to transfer. How many days do you have left before you can test? Wishing you all the best, the waiting never gets easier does it
