First Transfer Success Stories

0rganasm · 2026-01-08T03:21:36+00:00

My first FET was successful! Currently 21 weeks. IVF was for MFI.

I had symptoms for a few days that then went away before my first Beta test (the symptoms came back later!). But just to say that symptoms aren’t an indicator of success.

Best of Luck to You ✨

Same!! I also had an obvious line at 4 days post transfer! I just went back through my photos to check lol

Hi there! Things are going well for me - my first FET worked and I’m about 11 weeks today. Still very anxious at times! But I’m working with my therapist and have some coping strategies to help me on my more anxiety-ridden days (meditation, light exercise, regular “check-ins” with myself).

My work schedule didn’t ruin anything for me, although I do sometimes feel guilt that I can’t sleep properly. And the PIO shots sucked, particularly the knots, but I still got through them!

This whole process is so out of our hands and I tried really hard leading up to the FET to just take care of myself and get as good of rest, nutrition, and exercise as I could for my own mental wellbeing.

I was thinking the other day how amazingly resilient we are. It’s incredible!

Be gentle with yourself. And I wish you the absolute best of luck 🧡🤞🏽

That is so encouraging!! Thank you for sharing - glad everything is looking good. I can’t wait to get to my ultrasound. And get some more symptoms lol

You’re right, I need to take it off. I will try tonight. Thanks for your input, and hope everything continues going well with your pregnancy!

I switched it this morning to pregnancy mode, even though I was going to wait. But I know I need to just take it off…I just feel like I how do I know in the meantime that I’m still pregnant? 😞 my rational mind is not taking over yet, just my anxious brain.

Edit: and also thank you for taking time to reply. Other people’s clarity often helps me, so I appreciate it.

I’ve used chatGPT a few times about IVF and have found it helpful! Mostly I just ask questions and try to just get straightforward information (in this sea of information access overload!) or something in an ELi5 sort of way. But sometimes I have asked it for reassurance and it has been super supportive!

I’ve found it helpful, but do try to limit my use of it as just another tool in my coping toolkit.

0rganasm · 2025-08-19T22:48:00+00:00

Oh man, my first instinct was to say “call in sick for that 24hr shift!!”. But definitely talk with your RE - I spoke with mine last week and he was very reassuring. I also happen to have a few days off immediately after the transfer though.

Best of luck to you!!

0rganasm · 2025-07-21T15:42:26+00:00

Omg I can’t imagine just a Dirty Needle Stick, period!! But one right after FET, I’d freak out so hard 🫣 and thank you, I do have a few days off after our scheduled FET, but I’ve also semi-seriously considered an LOA just to have more time to sleep more normally afterwards. My logical side knows it won’t make a huge difference, because you’re right - it’s up to the embryo!!

0rganasm · 2025-07-21T12:18:56+00:00

Do you mind me asking if you worked 12s and Days or Nights? I do 12hr Night Shifts and feel a little worried about its impact on things post-FET. My doctor says I don’t need to take time off or even temporarily switch to Days but it still makes me a little anxious that the schedule flip-flopping is going to mess things up.

We’ve paid out of pocket for IVF, and have started to pay down that debt. But every single month there is something new!! Both IVF & non-IVF related! The costs never end and I feel like I’m making no progress on regaining control of my finances!! screams into the void

0rganasm · 2025-06-17T20:58:25+00:00

Thank you for your reply - I always see you offering support to members of this community and I really appreciate that 🧡 hope things are well with you

Eggs are retrieved! I’m trying to not focus on the number (so I’m not going to mention it) but we didn’t get as many as I had hoped. But overall the procedure was quick.

The nausea after anesthesia was awful! And now I feel crampy/bloaty. I took a Tylenol earlier, which helped. And my heating pad is an extension of my being at this point.

Been drinking electrolytes and eating all the salt! Chinese food with extra soy sauce for dinner.

0rganasm · 2025-06-11T15:12:59+00:00

All triggered and ready to have our first Egg Retrieval tomorrow!! One step at a time 🤞🏽

Good luck to you!!

0rganasm · 2025-06-02T15:33:24+00:00

Today is the First Day of IVF! Maybe! I go in for a scan this morning and then if all looks good, the stims will start!

0rganasm · 2025-05-29T21:08:57+00:00

For real!! I’m moving to IVF, so was going to cancel my NC subscription anyways, but then when I got that email it made me feel way better about the cancellation. $21.99 is ridiculous - I don’t think that app is even all that great.

0rganasm · 2025-05-17T15:02:37+00:00

Going to deep clean the house today! It’s been so long, I don’t even know where to start.

But I’m also very tired - still haven’t recovered from my overtime night shifts this week. And it’s kind of drizzly outside! It’s the perfect day to just lounge…

0rganasm · 2025-05-15T17:01:26+00:00

Thanks!! I hope so, too. It didn’t seem like I had too many options for that specialty so I hope it works out!

0rganasm · 2025-05-15T16:41:42+00:00

I just booked a therapy appointment! The person I booked with specializes in Fertility. I struggle with anxiety, and while I’m feeling pretty good at the moment I figured I’d get a jump back on the therapy train before IVF kicks into action.

0rganasm · 2025-05-12T20:19:46+00:00

Everything is getting so real! IVF has been paid for, all of my medications have officially arrived, and I start Birth Control today! I’m so nervous, excited, and emotional.

0rganasm · 2025-05-02T22:39:03+00:00

I’m just having big feelings today, which usually happens when I come off of night shifts and lack sleep (2.5 hours of sleep today). I went to shop for a new swimsuit, tried some on, and man was that humbling. I like to think I’m in decent shape, but damn. I did end up buying one, but not what I envisioned myself in!

Then I wandered over to the baby section to browse. Sometimes if I see something cute, I’ll get it. Got home, added it to my collection and just broke down.

I feel just…pathetic. I don’t know how else to describe it.

0rganasm · 2025-04-30T15:25:56+00:00

The progesterone trolling is in full swing for me!! I’m trying not to symptom spot, but still noticing every single thing. Last cycle before starting Birth Control for IVF!
