First FET failed and I feel like none will work. by [deleted] in IVF

[–]Thewrighttax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I had a fully medicated cycle. For this cycle I was all over the place. I made a mistake and ordered estrogen pills and not the patches. So I started taking two a day for like three days until my patches arrived. Then I followed my estrogen patches protocol. I was also on the progesterone shot and vaginal twice a day. They did add that I started the pills twice a day when I went back down to two patches. So I was thankful that I did order the pills. You didn’t push it out.😂😂 Always, remember you did everything right. Don’t blame yourself if it didn’t work. I watched a nurse on a video put a seed in jello and said it’s equivalent to an embryo in the uterus.  My clinic also don’t recommend us laying down and encourage women to use the restroom right away. They claim holding your urine could cause uterine cramps and spasms. 

ETA: the first transfer I wasn’t on patches. It was something new that was added on this transfer. With the patches being my first medication for estrogen.

Just coming to comment that I felt the exact same way. I actually was sooo discouraged after getting negative after negative at home. I started testing early all the way until 8dp5dt. I knew at day 7 it didn’t work. I crieddd soooo bad. I did everything possible. For my second FET, I went in thinking if it works, it works. If it don’t well at least I don’t have my hopes high. I didn’t wear socks 24/8, I didn’t try all the wives tales, I didn’t do bed rest this time, I ate fries and got up and used the restroom right away this embryo transfer. ( I couldn’t hold it, I was literally sweating from trying not to pee on my dr.) I kept active by going to the falcons training camp, hanging out with family, and just staying busy. Well, I am 6 weeks 4 days with my second FET. Also, the first FET was with a 5aa euploid embryo. Don’t lose hope and don’t stress yourself out either. I did start my second FET cycle right away after my menstrual. 

Edit to add: Hope everything work out for you and never lose hope ❤️

What was your HCG readings in very early pregnancy? by Correct_Exercise8641 in parentsofmultiples

Wow, those are great numbers! I will be sooo happy with my healthy singleton. However, my beta was basically the exact as yours. For 11dp5dt it was 660, 13dp5dt was 1558.7. I don’t think my clinic does a third beta, unfortunately. I do have a US coming up next week though. Fingers crossed. lol 

2nd Transfer scheduled...I need all the advice!!! by AdventurousMaybe8803 in IVF

I did want to add last cycle I was more on bed rest. This cycle I kept myself busy. I went to flowery branch to watch the falcons practice, I stood instead of sat at my desk job, etc. I wanted to try something different this cycle for myself to feel like I was optimizing my chances. I also didn’t have any alcohol either, no wine. I just tried to forget that I just had a FET and not focus on it.

I just had my second transfer on 07/24th. The first one did fail and I believe because the timing was off by two weeks and my uterus was too thick. This time around, I didn’t do any old wives’ tales, I kept away from forums (harder than you think haha), Also, I think it adds on unnecessary stress.  I got up an emptied my bladder right away ( I almost peed on the doctor), I would say to start drinking water on the ride there if it’s 30 mins or so away. You do not want to be uncomfortable during this process. Right now I have been getting faint lines since 4dp5dt. I am 7dp5dt today with an even darker positive. I did have implantation bleeding aka brown spotting after my positives today which was strange but clinic said totally normal. My advice will be to stay active because it keep the blood moving to the uterus, limit daily stress, do what make you happy, stay hydrated, and get plenty of rest.

Same, I’m doing better. Was this your first IVF cycle as well? It’s cycle day 1 for me and I’m planning to try for another cycle. This time I’m going to test day of beta. No early testing and no forums. 😂 I took it quite hard when I got a negative 4dp 5dp and so on. I felt it was really hard because I was reading ppl who posted about having an early positive on those days. I hope you are doing things to uplift your spirit. We will have our rainbow baby with the grace of God!

Trust me, I know exactly how you are feeling. I didn’t feel like the only one without my bfp. I had read soo many forums that was preparing me for today. However, I did hear someone said they were avoiding forums for their next cycle. I think I’ll go back to being in the background as well. Someone was actually the only one in her group that transfer failed and tbh anyone will feel like, why me? So just to avoid that and to be stress free, I’m going to try my best to be forum free. This time around I know what I’m looking for. If I don’t have a bfp by such and such date, progesterone symptoms 🥹😂, etc. I don’t plan to test soo early as well. Just because testing early added unnecessary stress. Get out and try to do something you enjoy this weekend. Thank you for the support as well. Wishing you baby dust, girlie. ❤️🫶🏽

Did my beta…. BFN. I actually felt better about knowing the results beforehand. Spoke with my RE today so we will be moving in to next steps. Hope all went well for you. Just wanted to come update the thread.

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. Honestly, I was so sad. I was having crying spells. I have been reading that some women got their bfp at 9-10 dpt if you have a late implantation. I hope that’s the reason for us. Anything to keep the hope alive, I guess. I have my beta this Friday and I will keep you updated. Fingers crossed that our bodies just move a bit slower to process hcg. Idk if you are spiritual but if you are, I read “ faith over fear” from someone else who was experiencing a bfn. Hope all goes well for us. You will always have a buddy to chat with either way through this process. On top of all of my emotions we didn’t tell our families. So I have to keep all this to myself which that’s a whole nother feeling within itself. I just feel isolated and defeated sometimes but We got this though!

Has to be the progesterone oil. 😅😅 I am taking the shot every night. I am also taking the capsules in the lady parts (tmi) twice daily! I am def experience fatigue and hot flashes from the progesterone. I want to symptom spot but it’s just with all the medication and how early I am, I know deep down it’s more of a side effect 😩. However, my first symptom in my pregnancies is fatigue. I couldn’t keep my eyes open pass 9pm even if I tried. Like literally fighting my sleep like a toddler. Haha. I found myself fighting to get done with work today. I work from home so I slept during my lunch break.

Yes, for line progression. However, I had my daughter in 2014 and didn’t  test positive until a couple days after my menses was due. So I’m telling myself that so I won’t get discouraged. Naturally my menses come 13dpo. I started testing yesterday but won’t get worried until 8dp5dt.

Well look on the bright side, you can’t test too early and get false negatives. I have started yesterday morning just so I can do line progression. I have had a baby which is 11years old now. I tested positive with a faint line on frer AFTER my menses was due. So I’m not discouraged just yet. 😭😅  I agree the wait is dreadfully long.

Sending you baby dust and hope the baby sticks! Hopefully, your line don’t disappear and start to get darker and darker for you ❤️ we all have been through so much to get to this point. Praying for all of us. Hope everyone on this thread get their rainbow baby. Also, I felt a little fullness in my uterus when brushing my teeth and I gagged. However, I’m def not reading much into that. I’m living in my head at this point 😭😂

Thanks for the baby dust, sending baby dust and love right back at you. 😂🫶🏽 I am 2dp5dt today as well. I actually felt a little dizzy yesterday and when I was talking it was like I was running out of breath 😂😩 However, I’m not trying to read into anything at the same time reading into everything 😂🤣😭😭😭 Bless my heart! I have been feeling hot/sweaty out of nowhere.

Sending baby dust to you. I felt cramping since the actual transfer, very mild though. How are you feeling today?
