need advise! So had FET a week ago 5 day embryo. Natural cycle but on progesterone suppositories.

clinic said don’t test till 7th but my period would be starting in the next two days? Will the progesterone lengthen my cycle? I’m usually day 26/27 which could be tomorrow. I know you will say take a test but I’m so scared only 6days past transfer today. Anyone had experience in all this. My last fet with my daughter was medicated fresh transfer.

[chocchoc12]

I just finished a FET. I had a very faint positive 6 days post transfer. 11 days post transfer, my HCG was 65. Unfortunately it ended in a chemical pregnancy. From what I’ve read, it takes 1-2 days to implant then another 3-5 days to finish implanting so if you tested now, something might show. Mine was a natural FET with progesterone cream .

[Ey2020 in reply to chocchoc12]

Sorry you went through this. Yes mines the same natural fet with progesterone. Yes I think they have told me to test a lot later than normal just to avoid seeing a chemical.

My advice would be to hold out until test day if you can. Testing early just brings extra anxiety for me. I've had chemicals in the past so analysing faint positive lines is a killer (as it is likely to be faint at this stage) Good luck!!

I was going to do this but then I just can’t bear my period starting whilst I’m on shift. I just don’t know what to do! So hard. Was easier with the Medicated round as it was all controlled. Period is due tomorrow.

[Blahblahblahxxx in reply to Ey2020]

Could you take some time off work? I imagine you aren't thinking about much else at the moment. Might be nice to try do something you enjoy to take your mind off it? I did a medicated cycle so I'm not sure whether the progesterone would delay your period in a natural cycle anyway?

When is your test day?

[Ey2020 in reply to Blahblahblahxxx]

Well I think if it comes tomorrow I will call in sick just to grieve a bit. My official test day is day 31 which is the 7th. My cycle would usually only be 28 days.

it doesn’t really matter what ‘date’ the clinic give you to test you do it when it is best for you 🤗 I’ve always had a reliable answer by day 8 even if it ends up being a negative or a chemical at least I can prepare myself as I approach test day and know if implantation tried to happen or nothing at all. Progestone does make a period delayed for some people but not always. So testing is really the only way to know. It’s our bodies and our pee! So do what works for you and if the thought of a period starting at work i you having any prep for that worries you or testing on a day you are working would be tough just do it when suits you and do as many tests as you like 💜🤗 best of luck! Xx

[Ey2020 in reply to Twiglet2]

Yeah day 8 is tomorrow for me and also what could be potential first day of period so reckon might test tomorrow morning. That will be 13dpo technically

Hi, I've had 4FETs and the progesterone did delay my period with the 3 that failed so I think you should be ok. If you don't want to test early (I never did) then hold out.

[Ey2020 in reply to Bimsie1310]

That’s very interesting, the cramps have started though so wondering if this my cycle ready for tomorrow. Hopefully not.

[Bimsie1310 in reply to Ey2020]

Hopefully not! I had bad period cramps on day 9 which was my period day and yet it worked and I'm currently 17 weeks!

[ashbb]

no advice from me but just wanted to say good luck. I’m on day 4 past FET so in the dreaded two week wait too. Natural protocol as well. The date they gave me is like 6 days after when my period would usually come so I’ll be testing earlier. I never did with my first child as they did blood tests back then and I had a positive by day 10 past transfer.

[Ey2020 in reply to ashbb]

These test dates are so far away but I guess it’s to avoid potential heartache if a chemical ect. Good luck to you also let’s hope it’s our time 🤞🏼

[Swimming87]

Just wanted to say you're not alone. My test day is in 3 days and I am also struggling. The last days are the worst ! But I will hold on and not test early, not much to wait even tho it feels ages. I hope you take care and good luck xx this is hard!

[Ey2020 in reply to Swimming87]

Thank-you and same goes to you best of luck 🤞🏼🥰

[Ey2020]

you were right about waiting till test day or when period comes because 7dp5dt is a bnf on a frer. Gutted
