Any information on FET??

Good morning ladies. Recieved my phone call yesterday. My levels have dropped from 329 to 47. Yep I am on #7 m/c. Is it sick that a part of me still wants to keep going? However I am starting to really except the notion, DH and I will never share a baby. After this last cycle, we were able to keep 2 frozen. Can anyone tell me how this works? Any information on it can help us decide where to go.

Thanks.

Ascott/Guesito,

Ladies...I am so sorry for your loses. I did do FET...it has been a long while, but I wanted to post what I could remember. It is a lot easier then the full on IVF procedure. You use different injection meds...I used only 2 outside of the progestrone shots. The meds prepare the lining for the embies to implant & you stay on the meds a shorter timeframe. Once you've been on the meds for the "prescribed" time, you come in & they transfer the embies the same way as was done during the IVF transfer. Once the transfer is done, you start your progestrone injections. I know there will be others who have recently completed an FET cycle that can give more detailed info, but thought I'd at least post what I remembered. Hope it helps.

Ascott...No, you are not "sick" for wanting to continue to try. It is a hearts desire & I say go until you can't anymore, and only you will know when that is. I pray that you will get a BFP again soon that will remain healthy & STRONG...and I pray the same for you as well Guesito.

oh..I'm sorry! M/c are so frustrating!  I'm sorry I don't have much information for you about the FET but I wanted to express my sorrow for you guys.  hugs...

I am so sorry Ascott! I pray you find the strength to get through this! You too Guesito!

As far as FET, I was told that it is much better than a fresh cycle because your ovaries and lining are a bit more relaxed. I was told it is more "natural"...we were actually told that with my FET on 12/21...

I have tirelessly tried through miscarriages - very normal I think!
I have always used frozen as I odo not believe in creating more embies when there are millions out there

I have had 2 sets of twins from FETs (miscarriages too)
every RE is different on meds protocol
I say don't listen if they tell you to do medrol or baby aspirine - those are the only times I miscarried

I am so sorry for your losses.  My DD has been thru multiple mc as well, and I know how very frustrating and hard this is.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ascott and Guesito
I have had few FET and it has been easier on me then the fresh cycle. On the fresh cycle your ovaries and uterine lining are still sore from retrieval, on the frozen transfer youuse less medication and usually they will go by your natural cycle.
Some ultrasounds need it to check your uterine lining and ovaries, estrogen medications will be administer either in pill or patch form. Progesterone will also be need it until your ovaries can manage on their own. Pretty much these are the 2 basic meds you will be needing but again that will depend on your RE too.
My doctor in this last FET wanted to stimulated my ovaries to have better control of my transfer and added few Follistim and Gonal medications.
On this last FET they thawed my last 7 embryos 4 made it to transfer and only 1 implanted.
If eitherr one of you would like more info I have tons at home I can mail it to you guys, just PM or let me know.
LOL,
Maria

I am getting ready for my 1st FET (donor embryos). It's just like pp said. Cd1 I start estrogen patches. Cd13, lining check. If lining is good, they will take the embryos out to thaw. They are thawed at room temp. The average is 70% survive the thaw. Mine are 3day'ers. They are going to "grow them out" a couple more days to see how they do. The best ones will be put back in with the catheter. That day I will start the progesterone in oil shots. I am praying one of them is super glue sticky for you! I admire your determination.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, hang in there, I've read/heard that sometimes FET work better for some people. I had one done in Aug. ended up with m/c in Oct., so they do work! I will be doing my 2nd FET in Jan. the protocol that I am on is as follows, b/c for 33 days, started Lupron 12/17  will start estrogen (Vivelle) patches tomorrow-Lupron dose drops, u/s to check the lining on 01/07 if that looks good, approx. 3-5 days before FET-PIO shots begin! I will stay on Vivelle/PIO until the blood test and then if + for approx.10 weeks. Other than that I have not been put on any meds, so it does seem way less stressful or at least it does for me. Good Luck to both of you with your next steps and keep us posted!
