Day of embryo transfer - frozen eggs

[Jules0277]

Hi all

Can I please ask! Those of you who have used frozen donor eggs, what day of your cycle your clinic said they could transfer on, I.e the window being day 17-27? I always thought it was between day 17-20, but does it depend on when progesterone support is commenced, I.e. transfer is planned for blastocyst transfer 5 days later? So the clinic could delay transfer by not commencing progesterone as early to fit your transfer in with their lab availability?

Thanks all!

Jules 🙏☺️

hi, I’ve had frozen embryo transfer with donor eggs, not sure on day of cycle transfer was, I commenced on oestrogen day 2 of period had a scan 11 days later then had to start on patches aswell, had a scan 2days after that lining was 8.6 and so started on progesterone pessaries that night and Lubion injections transfer was 5 days later . Hope that helps x

Hello, I think the transfer date depends on your lining. My clinic has given me day 16 this time, following 5 days of progesterone. I think they can be slightly flexible with the date of the transfer. Good luck x

How long is your cycle usually?

Hi, my frozen transfer using donor eggs was carried out on day 22. The day of transfer makes no difference in a hormone regulated cycle so please do not worry! I am pleased to say I am now coming upto being 12 weeks pregnant after my first transfer😊

hi, for me first transfer of frozen embryo using donor egg was day 17, the next transfer was day 19 both were natural cycles and embryos were 5 days. I was asked to start Cyclogest from 6 days before transfer ( which was the last scan of lining), I also had a Trigger shot once my ovulation tests gave the best reading which was about the same time after my final lining scan. Both transfers were successful. Good luck xx
