Anyone out there having or going to have Frozen Embryo Transfer??

[SarahKateP]

Hi everyone,

I am relatively new here, my Hubby and I have just completed our first go at IVF treatment, which sadly failed :o(  We are absolutely heartbroken. We have been TTC our first baby for the last two and a half years. We have suffered 2 early miscarriages and 2 horrific ectopic pregnancies (which resulted in the loss of both tubes and need for IVF). We really thought that IVF would work for us, treatment went better than we ever hoped, all the way through (they had originally estimated a low-normal response to the drugs with maybe 6 eggs at best) we ended up with 13 eggs, then 11 fertilised for us and we then ended up with 9 grade 1, 8 cell embryo's which was fantastic. But even after all this our embie didn't stay with us :o( I am so gutted and upset.

On a positive note, our clinic are very very keen that we go straight ahead with a Frozen Embryo Transfer, which we will be doing after my next period, so around the end of July / beginning August. They seemed quite positive about this and they will be having a review meeting to discuss our failed cycle and see what can be done differently next time - so fingers crossed. I am hoping that with FET, my body will cope better as I will not be having all the stimlulation drugs, poking around and of course the trauma of egg collection to deal with - as the FET will be done within a natural cycle and leutal phase / implantation support given. Just have to keep our fingers crossed that FET will work for us, I am determined to get my precious baby and with 8 beautiful frozen embryo's waiting for us, I am not about to give up!!!!

I was just wondering if there was anyone out there I could chat to about Frozen Embryo Transfer??? Would love to get to know a few of you and find out a bit more about things and your stories, success, advice and everything...

I look forward to getting to know you all, take care

Headach  could be due to stress. I also had severe headach and I know I was really stressed during my 2WW which I shouldn't be. Mild cramping and sharp niggles are very common symptoms of early pregnancy.

How do you feel now? Did you experience these symptoms last time or not??
The only thing I can do is to pray. I do pray for you in all my prayers and when ever I think of you. You only have one or two more days to wait.

Wish you all the best and a very healthy pregnancy!!!!!!

LOL sophie hun!!! Yeah I meant a spot on my face lol!! Haven't had any spotting or bleeding as of yet. I felt really ill last night though :o( I had an absolutely awful headache, and since yesterday evening I have had a lot of cramping period type pains and a few sharp niggles!!!! I know this could be good or bad - could be AF on the way or it could be implantation - you just don't know aaaaarrrgghhh!!!!!!! I am just trying to hang on in there now and not be stressed, I was convinced last night AF was on the way, but nothing so far, I usually have a bit of spotting before AF arrives anyway, so we shall see.....

How is everyone? Really well I hope girls *******baby dust********* all round

Hay Sara I didn't understand the spot thing. I thought you had blood spot which could be implantation. But where ever you got the spot it is a sign of GOOD LUCK lol.

[sophie_bulbul]

I think it is good news that you got one big spot. This is definitely implantation bleeding as it occurs between 6 to 12 days post ovulation and you are between that period now. Stay calm and wait for the result. I know it is not an easy time but you are a strong woman and can control your feelings.

My best wishes and prayers are with you.

[SarahKateP]

Awwww girls thank you all so much :o) I really appreciate all your support, it's wonderful and I am so lucky to have you all, thank you. I am feeling okay today, got a big huge new spot on my face which really hurts lol - could mean pregnancy could mean AF on way - no way to tell lol!!!! Just have to be patient!!!! I will let you all know and will post here as soon as I know the result!!!

How is everyone else doing? I really hope everyone is okay girls??

Sara I quite agree with Hannah. I also wish I don’t get any symptoms as I had many pregnancy symptoms like headache, backache, cramping etc during my failed cycle. Each woman has different symptoms and then each pregnancy to the same woman can entirely be different. You are only on 6th day post transfer but since you are in 2WW you might think it is your six month and you have started worrying about symptoms lol. Don’t worry all crazy symptoms are waiting for you:)
Stay positive and think that everything which is happening to you is in the best interest of you.  Once the embryos are transferred it is beyond every one’s control except GOD and I am sure He loves you very much and will never disappoint you.
BABY DUST AND GLUE TO SARAKATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck everyone else!!!!
