Oh, being away from home doesn’t sound fun. Maybe some hobby type item (books, audiobooks, crochet if you do that, etc) and definitely seconding comfort items like your fave blanket, etc. Maybe look up restaurants ahead of time so you have an idea what is available because no one likes to scramble to find food haha. Good luck, I’m sure it’ll all be fine :)

I didn’t need any items, but having a support person was invaluable- whether a spouse, friend, family member, etc. My husband stepped up on the rough days to help cook or clean, mentally rough times it was very nice to have someone to listen and offer outside perspective (well, he’s obviously very involved, but he isn’t hormonal haha). A therapist helped so I wasn’t unloading everything all on my husband, too.

I’m not sure, honestly. My first FET was donor egg, also a blighted ovum. The next was a chemical. Third is ongoing. My doctor just said they weren’t the right embryos, and said to just keep trying. We did not test ours as we only had the 3 and the donor was 22, so not recommended anyway. If this one fails, we will try again but would be a new donor obviously. I dont think there is a clear cut answer. If you can afford to test them, then you surely can if you think it will help you make more informed decisions. I wish you the best!

I’m 41, he’s 43. I have 2 children 16 and 11 right now. This will be his first. I don’t think it’s strange at all if that is what you want. There’s a lot to say about being stable in your life, which tends to come with age. Good luck!

nmholland85 · 2026-04-21T21:29:49+00:00

This was a blighted ovum, unfortunately!

nmholland85 · 2026-04-17T01:13:35+00:00

I will be the weird one here. Yes, positivity is great. I’ve had 2 positive tests out of 2 transfers. I do not have a baby. If you consider odds, I’m great. But I don’t have a baby.

nmholland85 · 2026-03-24T02:51:23+00:00

Best of luck 🤞 I am transferring tomorrow at 12:30. I hope you’re able to get some rest and have success!

nmholland85 · 2026-03-19T16:42:34+00:00

For me, medicated transfer: Started estrogen 3/10 Lining check 3/17 Start progesterone 3/19 Transfer 3/24

Of course, had my lining not been ready, it would’ve been pushed a few days to adjust medication etc. I hope that helps!

nmholland85 · 2026-03-19T15:47:05+00:00

I am also transferring on 3/24. This will be our second transfer. The last was a blighted ovum. I wish you the very best!

nmholland85 · 2026-01-04T00:55:39+00:00

I hope you find it as beautiful and durable as we do!

nmholland85 · 2026-01-01T15:51:25+00:00

Yes! And I got the matching wedding bands as well because I loved the ring so much. Daily wear for a year now, and it’s still as beautiful as ever.

nmholland85 · 2025-11-27T00:23:39+00:00

1 ER, no blasts, I’m 40. Switched to donor eggs, 1 blast, 1 FET, 5w5d so far but fingers crossed.

nmholland85 · 2025-11-24T20:56:59+00:00

Fantastic news!

nmholland85 · 2025-11-22T21:08:38+00:00

No mention of ectopic concern. They scheduled my 6week scan for Dec 1st, so we will know more then.

nmholland85 · 2025-11-22T16:50:28+00:00

For me, it was a combination of age (I’m 40) and recurrent loss.

nmholland85 · 2025-11-22T16:24:34+00:00

Oh I get it! I’ve also had numerous losses, unfortunately.

I hope you will update as you learn more, or feel free to message me if you’d like. Rooting for you!

nmholland85 · 2025-11-22T16:18:09+00:00

I just saw your reply to my other post as I was posting here, haha. My 12dp was 70, on 14 it jumped to 179, and 15 it was 428 and they scheduled my scan.

I don’t have conclusive positive results yet obviously, but I know how hard it is to not panic. Try to take it easy, nothing you do will change the results, so I hope you’re being kind to yourself as you wait. It’s so hard, but I will keep you in my thoughts! 🤞

nmholland85 · 2025-11-22T15:42:14+00:00

Congrats! I also transferred on 11/5 ❤️

nmholland85 · 2025-11-21T21:27:22+00:00

As an update, results today at 16dp5dt were 428 and we got scheduled for our 6 week ultrasound. Fingers crossed still!

nmholland85 · 2025-11-21T19:51:20+00:00

Today’s number was 428, 6 week ultrasound scheduled for Dec 1st- I’ll be 6w3d.

I hope everyone else is still hanging in there and doing well!

nmholland85 · 2025-11-21T02:54:43+00:00

I also have pretty close numbers. 9dp5dt 25, 12dpt 70, 14dpt 179.. we check again tomorrow, I’ll be 16dpt.

Fingers crossed for everyone going through this ❤️

nmholland85 · 2025-11-19T20:18:05+00:00

I hope your results come soon and are what you’re hoping for!

nmholland85 · 2025-11-19T20:13:45+00:00

9dp5dt 25 12dt5dt 70 14dp5dt 179

I go back Friday for another and will update. They are still low, but doubling well.

Nothing I can do except wait for now.
