Hi I've been a member of this site for a few months now following everyone's story, but I'm new to posting anything, I'm going for my first fet 20/03/2024 just wondering if anyone will be the same as me and are they feeling as nervous!

Mine isn't on the same day but I've got a scan on 18th and hoping for transfer to be scheduled the following week (25th) 😊, its my 3rd transfer but a poor quality embryo so very little chance of success, just need to wait and see, good luck 🤞🏼 xx

Firstly thank you for your reply, its always good to know your not alone, also Awe I really hope this one works out for you! I got 2 frosties in the freezer good quality so I'm hoping and praying for some good news but I always seem to see people saying it happens for them on the second or 3rd round so I'm just trying to keep the negative thought away, could I just ask if this is your first ivf cycle also xx

Yeah this is my first IVF cycle, got 3 embryos (from 20 eggs!) so it was disappointing but I've made changes to my diet and hoping that helps in round 2, first transfer ended in mc at 5.5 weeks and 2nd transfer ended in chemical....so its been a looong road so far!! However a friend from work got 4 embryos and hers worked 1st transfer 😊...they say its just the luck of the draw🤞🏼 Xx

Oh wow its so frustrating when you think of the number retrieved and then all of a sudden only a few are viable! I got 17 collected, 12 mature, 6 fertilised and then by day 5 only 2 made it but they also said with my follicle count she was expecting to collect more so was disappointing 😞 I'm really sorry to hear about everything you've been through to have everything and then have it taken away from you so soon! Seems like you've had a rough ride but you know what they say there is always light at the end of the tunnel and im hoping this time is your light! 🙏 good luck and I hope we can stay in touch for the final result xx

It's weird how my brain has just totally ruled this one out already, it's probably some sort of defense mechanism because all I want to do is get the next egg retrieval out the way to move on! And everything just takes so long but hopefully things can only get better! Would be great to hear how u are getting on next week 😊🤞🏼 Im doing medicated cycle so currently taking Progynova daily on the lead up xx

I know it's easy to think like that but things have a weird way of working out sometimes, like I say I'm praying for you! Yeah I'm also on medicated cycle currently elleste solo plus utrgoestan it's such a nightmare to add it all into your life's schedule but hopefully worth it 👌 I will keep you updated thank you again for the reply ❤️ xx

Hi Xmishell37, Babyluck95,

I have my scan on 18th as well for my 1st FET. But natural cycle without any meds

I understand your feeling, after certain time it feels like let’s just be done with the cycle and may be next one will be better

I find this forum very helpful for information as my clinic here in Netherlands has absolutely nothing personalized. It’s just protocol over people and is super frustrating .

I will know my transfer date soon but might be delayed due to delay in natural cycle ( got a flu from nowhere 🥺)

Wish you both good luck and sending baby dusts ❣️

Let’s stay in touch ❣️

Hi! I'm having my 4th FET transfer on the 21.03.24. Good luck with your transfer!I am feeling ok at the moment but I bet I will get nervous by Thursday 😅

If you would like to chat during tww feel free to DM :)

Babyluck95 in reply to Glaedy

Hi glaedy thanks for your reply, am I okay to ask what was the outcome of your other 3? And we will be cycle buddies this month then so glad it feels like im not doing it on my own ❤️ xx

Glaedy in reply to Babyluck95

Yes it's ok :) my 1st FET ended happily with my not 2 year old son, 2nd FET ended in miscarriages at 7 weeks and 3rd (this January transfer) ended in chemical.

I know it feels so much better to have transfer buddies ❤️ I think even this time I won't resistant and will be testing but maybe i will dial it down compared to previous transfers 🙈

Awe thats really good to hear about the first one at least! Yeah I agree it does feel reassuring that we're not the only ones, even though my partner is there for me I just feel he couldn't really understand my worries bless him he does try! I've decided I won't be able to wait until the actual test date as I don't have that much will power 😂 will probably test 9 or 10 dpt, I really hope this is your time you truly do deserve it, 💗

Hi I had my first ever FET today too, wishing you lots of luck! I feel like I'm noticing every little twinge already 😵‍💫 it's hard to stay calm! Hope you are able to keep busy these next 2 weeks xxx

Hi, surprisingly I'm calm at the moment but I don't know how long that will last 😅! How did you find the whole experience ? They have given me the 2nd of April as my test date but think I might cave before then maybe planning the 30th of march, what about you? Hopefully we can be test buddies 🙂 lots of luck! Xx

FindingFertility in reply to Babyluck95

I've got 2nd April too, I'm going to try to stick to it but feel I might also cave in and do it earlier! It's hard not to read into every symptom isn't it as it could just be the medication. That's great to hear youre feeling calm! I think today I'm finally relaxing. I found it the FET quite quick and straightforward, how was your experience? X

Babyluck95 profile image
Babyluck95

Yeah definitely! I hope you can keep my updated on your hopefully good result 🤞 and yeah it was relatively easy and the woman in the room doing the scanning was lovely keeping me occupied laughing! How are you feeling today I'm weirdly feeling negative today just feel like it's over before it's begun, just feel like I should be feeling something or some symptoms but just feel normal, have you been having any symptoms? Xx

FindingFertility in reply to Babyluck95

That is so strange, honestly I felt exactly the same way yesterday and also like everything I'm doing is stopping it from working! I thought I felt symptoms on Friday morning but then it changed, now I just don't know! We found out yesterday that none of our other embryos survived so it's all on this one, it's so so hard to stay positive isn't it but hopefully we'll be better at it today :) xxx

Babyluck95 profile image
Babyluck95

Oh no that's so horrible for you 😪 how come you found out so late ? I don't know how your coping with that I would be panicking bless you! Is this your nhs one or private? Also I'm hoping this is your miracle one, I've had a look online obsessively over the last day or so and a lot of people don't feel anything or even spot until around a week so it's made me feel better now, Internet is my saviour through this tww at the moment 🙏 I really hope we both have good stories to tell at the end of this xx

FindingFertility in reply to Babyluck95

We had a day 3 FET on Wednesday but the remaining embryos weren't good quality on day 3 so they wanted to develop them to day 5 to see if they could refreeze them, so they told us the next morning that they couldn't. This is my NHS one, I should have 3 cycles at my age but my postcode means I only get one, but I'm gonna cross that bridge if I get to it!! I've been spiralling today but starting to feel better now, think I need to stop reading too much and just focus on being calm :). Hoping this week will fly by for you xxx

It really does sound heartbreaking 💔 I'm so sorry your going through this, the whole ivf journey is tough enough and then life just throws another curve ball to deal with! Wishing we were just like normal people....yeah I'm in the same situation only get one go at nhs then it's private for the remainder if needed. Its going really slow tbh but I think it's because I'm usually used to a routine where i go gym and do things then work nightshifts so it's just finding things to do to not go crazy! How's your going so far ? Xx

Babyluck95

Also me and partner have decided we're gonna test on the 31st as I'm hoping it should show up by that time so I will let you know the results! Babydust to you! ✨️

Oh lovely were not going crazy then! just going to see over the next few days, I can't take it in yet until it gets darker then can feel its more accurate, I've never ever had a second line on a test before though so I have been obsessing over it 😅 xx
