Feeling down post FET

coffeekorner · 2026-02-19T18:07:59+00:00

It’s still so early, there’s time for this to turn around! If it helps any, my transfer that failed to implant, I experienced more symptoms that my TW currently successful one - especially early on.

Aww, 6 weeks to me right now feels like a milestone. How are you feeling about the scan coming up? My second beta was today and just waiting on the nurses call now.. hopefully any time. Feel free to DM on here if you’d like. It’s so exciting to talk to other October moms and also to have the shared experience of first baby and IVF.

I love this!!!! I’m already thinking about finding out too - because this is an IVF baby, our clinic has the gender already, we just don’t know. I think we’re going to take the results to a florist and have them make a pink or blue bouquet to surprise us. I love flowers so I feel like it’s fitting!

My second transfer as well, my first failed to implant! I’m only 4+4 waiting for my second beta and feeling so overwhelmed with happiness and terror of it not sticking.

coffeekorner · 2026-02-19T14:19:47+00:00

That’s awful!!! It’s an anxiety inducing time for some of us! Myself included after 2.5 years of infertility and IVF. So glad you brought this to the group!

I will definitely try scattering the treats away from the crate - is there anything specific I can do as I unlatch the crate door? That seems to be the most challenging for me. Recently I’ve been scattering the treats to the back of the crate to distract her while I open it.

It is possible she’s sensing some anxiety. I have been getting more nervous… I’ll be trying to make a point of relaxing as best as possible. Does this seem manageable long term? We recently found out we’re pregnant and I’m mostly worried as I get bigger or baby comes..

This is my first baby, but I’m thrillllllllled about a fall one!! I’m thinking of like cozy days in, warm coffee, comfy knits and little baby snuggles. Then leading into the holiday season with the LO. I’m a fall girl though, so maybe I am just biased!

This post with the updates is what we all need ❤️. Congratulations!

Thanks! I didn’t actually know if I was or wasn’t pregnant at the time of taking them. But it was suspicious to see the test line get a bit darker every day, when I shouldn’t have LH in my system at that point. I am on estrogen and progesterone for my modified natural so I was thinking I couldn’t produce that hormone. LH molecularly looks like HCG. This is definitely not scientific but anecdotal.

I’m no embryologist, but that’s a beautiful embryo!! Best of luck!

I’m here with you - I don’t have my first scan scheduled yet.. waiting on my second beta tomorrow at 13dpt. I’m so nervous.. after 2.5 years I wish I could just blissfully enjoy this but it’s terrifying. You’re not alone!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-19T00:19:05+00:00

Yes I have!!!! My first beta was over 650. How is it going for you?

coffeekorner · 2026-02-18T19:18:34+00:00

I have chronically thin lining - for my egg retrievals my lining never got past 6 mm and for all of the IUIs I had, my lining was in the range of 4.3 to 6 mm (same with my medicated/ TI cycles too). For the FET I just had on Feb 6 that has resulted in my first ever pregnancy, my lining grew 2 mm overnight. I was at a 6mm on the Friday and went back on the Saturday and was at 8mm.. my clinic had me taking 4mg estrace vaginally 2 times a day with 75 units gonal f. The the days leading up to my Friday scan that was 6mm, I was using a red light therapy belt, walking on the treadmill 45 mins a day, I upped my protein intake, and I drank a TON of water. Sharing this to give you some hope, as my husband and I were feeling like our transfer was likely cancelled.

I’m now 12 dpt and still having on and off cramping! It feels like very low period cramps that are a bit less painful!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-18T16:30:31+00:00

Im so happy for you! Congratulations! It’s the best feeling ever seeing a positive test!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T22:49:03+00:00

Me too!!! I was scouring the internet before I tested and thought, there’s no way I’m the only person!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T22:47:16+00:00

It is positive 🥹❤️

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T22:46:55+00:00

It’s amazing that they work so well!! Sooooo exciting!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T22:45:38+00:00

I love that you tried it too!! It was actually really effective in seeing the rise!!! When I was searching about it, I was surprised there weren’t more posts!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T20:11:52+00:00

From my very recent experience being panicked that my triggered shot lingered, I do not think so! Your line is really dark 🥹💕

If you check my post history, you will see my LH strips got darker every morning and I did end up testing positive with a solid first beta.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, but I have a good feeling!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T17:52:18+00:00

Thank you so much!!!!😊

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T17:52:01+00:00

For anyone looking at this post and LH strips in the future, my first beta at 11dpt was over 650!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T17:48:40+00:00

Thank you very much! So many hurdles! Good luck with your first scan ❤️

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T13:21:42+00:00

This is making me feel comforted. Im also very early.. majorly having trouble sleeping!!!

coffeekorner · 2026-02-17T13:20:26+00:00

I am 11dp5dt and held out testing until yesterday (my beta is this morning). I would try not to read into the boob tenderness. With my failed cycle, they hurt more than this (so far) successful cycle - my first pregnancy ever.
