A group for those of us who are expecting to do a frozen embryo transfer in May of 2019.

Negative beta

Well - my beta was negative. I have really enjoyed watching everyone’s progress (especially the positives!) during the last month and I’m thankful for the community in this app. Our RE recommended an ERA next cycle to hopefully get some answers as to why this cycle didn’t work before we use our last frozen embryo. I hope all you guys with positives post photos with your babies early 2020, thanks for the support. ❤️❤️❤️❤️EDIT: Off to have a beer, or three 😜

Congratulations! I just saw your post about your ERA update. I will do mine next month. Did you do PGS testing on your successful embryo? Did you transfer 1?

Vaginal estradiol

Hi girls, any idea about vaginal progynova? Since maximal oral dose is doing no good for me I thought I'd try it vaginally.... The doctor hasn't yet recommended it but I was reading a few articles where it says it gives a thicker lining faster...

I’m on estradiol intramuscular shot every 3 days and was told by my dr that it’s more potent and works faster than the patches or vaginal inserts

Symptoms

Hey Ladies! How early did you all start getting symptoms and what were they?

I have a few symptoms 2dp 5dt but I am not sure how much has to do with the progesterone supplements i am taking.

Hi all, life is crazy at the moment. My husband was hospitalized yesterday morning and had emergency surgery this morning, just weeks after surgery in April. Despite all the craziness, I got my second beta drawn this morning while at the hospital waiting for my husband's surgery to finish.Beta #1 = 104Beta #2 = 311The nurse was happy with this, so next step is a third beta next Monday. Not sure when my first scan will be.I want to say thank you to everyone who has prayed for us, and hope you will continue to. The last few days have been such a blur, I can't even keep the days straight. At this point, it feels like a week has past since yesterday morning. I'm definitely not taking good care of myself (barely eating, barely sleeping), but this little baby is sticking around through it all. I've been reading through posts when I can and want to say congratulations to those who have had scans and my sincerest condolences to those who got the awful news of a negative. This group is so supportive all around, so I'm really thankful that I found you all and hope we can keep in touch, even those with negatives.❤❤❤

Crinone instead of PIO?

My husband has been hospitalized so he won't be here in the morning to administer my PIO. 😔 I've never done them myself and don't want to if at all possible. Do any of you know if it would be the same to use crinone in the morning and evening tomorrow? I didn't have time today to contact my RE, although I highly doubt I'd get a response on a Sunday anyway.

Thank you all so much for your responses. ❤ I had about 5 mins before my son woke up this morning and before I had to get him ready to see my husband before surgery, so I made the executive decision to do crinone. I spoke to my clinic today, and they said 2x crinone for right now is okay until my husband can administer for me. Hoping that will be soon.

How early did you test and get a positive?

Just wondering what was the earliest day any of you took an at home test after FET and started to see even a faint line.

Estrogen patches in the pool?

Hey guys! I live in Florida, it’s crazy hot here and I really want to go in the pool. I just started estrogen patches and I’m not sure if the chemicals in the pool would be an issue. Anyone know anything about this? (I’m using the vivelle dot brand) TIA 😊

I’ve been assured by more doctor that swimming and baba are fine with the patches. I’ve been on the patches on and off for months and swimming and baths haven’t affected them or my estrogen levels at all but I would of course ask your doctor.

Checkin June 2nd

I finally go for my beta tomorrow, which is a day before my birthday!! I can’t wait. My symptoms picked back up yesterday. So I’m guessing it’s normal for them to come and go🤞🏾💕

Cycle likely cancelled :Update 1

UPDATE :so my lining today was just 5 mm. My cycle has been cancelled. I'm probably going to take a break for a couple of months after this. Will focus more on general health, work, studying and spending time with husband! Will keep looking out for you guys though and supporting you all. Much love! Thanks for your support and good wishes!---------------------------------------------------------I have always had endometrial issues since I started testing. My clinic only does FETs and on day 12 today my lining was just 4.5 mm. According to the doc I'm on maximum estrogen and they are gonna decide on day 15 whether to go ahead with the transfer. I was so disheartened today. Need prayers from you guys. I need my endometrium to grow 3 mm in 3 days :'(

Good luck girl, hope you get good news!

Failed transfers?

For those of you with failed transfers this month, what are your plans for next cycle? What did you ask the doctor about your failed cycle? Are there any changes you’re making with your protocol?

This was our second failed transfer. We’re getting a second opinion for my husband from another urologist, then if we don’t get resolution will most likely look at embryo adoption. My heart breaks knowing the chance of us having a biological child is dwindling, but if we cant have that I think a snowflake baby would be the next best option for us.

Checkin June 1st

Hi everyone. What's happening today? Hope June is good for everyone!

Beta on 5/28 was 6900. Today was over 14000 🥳🙏🏻 here we go for Monday’s scan!!! This brown spotting makes me nervous though. It was completely gone yesterday and the day before. But go figure, I work 2 shift in a row and it starts again. I think I’m overdoing it, it can’t be a coincidence by now.

Silly question to ask,can I sit down on the floor after the FET?

Can I sit down on the floor after the FET?... It was 6 days after 5 day embryo transfer.

I can’t see why not. After transfer my doctors instructions were to go back to normal activity. Are you a teacher like sitting on the ground reading a story?

Any BFP after transferring with a 6mm lining?

Looking for any positive stories about anyone has has transferred with a lining around 6-6.5mm and had it work. We transferred a 5AA this week and the highest I got was 6.2 but my dr has had luck with 6mm before so 🤞

vivelle dot and abdominal pain

Hey guys, I just started my estradiol transdermal patch (vivelle dot) last night. Today I have a lot of abdominal pain. I had to leave work early. Side effects say stomach cramps but just wondering if anyone else had this when starting estradiol patches? Just trying to figure out if it’s the med or something else. Thanks for your input 😊

Hi Ladies!! I am well. I have been getting hungry more lately. My ob wanted to get some blood work and did a CBC and an HCG. My HCG is up to 50,388 from last Wednesday when it was 9,027. This is very reassuring given my spotting which is why my OB wanted my HCG checked. This of course is aside from the blood work my RE has ordered. My white blood count was a little elevated but they were not worried as they said it’s common when pregnant! So glad all is going well. So excited to see all the positives and transfers! Yay!!! I have been praying for everyone in this group so if there is anyone in specific that needs/wants prayer. Please let me know how I can pray for you! 😀👍🏻

Daily check in May 29th

Happy hump day everyone! How has your week been going? Any transfers or betas today?

Hi everyone, I decided to test again today at 7dp5dt and got a faint positive!I believe it would've been darker had I used FMU (I tested about 2 hrs after already having gone to the bathroom.) I'm so surprised since I got a stark negative just 2 days ago. Just goes to show how early testing can really mess with your mind! I'm hoping this baby sticks, please send good vibes! I plan to test again on Friday, a day before my 1st beta. Tonight is day one of Crinone for me, ugh, NOT looking forward to this again! 😝
