Onto the next FET!

It's been so long since I posted that I had to go back and look what I had last written. Of course, as I thought, my last FET did turn out to be a BFN. It was disappointing (to put it mildly) after all the extra effort (not to mention $$) we had put into that cycle. To add to the misery, AF was three days late, I guess due to the pregnyl. And of course she arrived the day we left for our holiday (how typical!!).

Our holiday was lovely. We ate too much, drank too much and spent too much. But we both RELAXED, which was something I feel we haven't done much of at all over the last six months or so. This week hasn't been quite as relaxing as I've had an assignment hanging over my head due in a couple of days and I just can't seem to get stuck into it. So I haven't achieved much at all this week, apart from stressing about an assignment I have made hardly any progress on.

Anyway, we're about to have our next frozen embryo transfer, which I am getting excited about. I had a scan yesterday and it showed a 5mm lining (a bit thin I thought but my FS and the nurse both said it was fine). It also showed a 14-16mm follicle on the RH ovary. Based on the size, they thought I'd get my LH surge (signifying I'm about to ovulate) on Monday, but I had it today. I wasn't expecting it, so I didn't do a test for it until 11:30am and got a shock that it was positive! I had to rush into the clinic to pick up a blood test request form and get bloods taken before the clinic and lab closed at 12:00 and 12:30 respectively.

So transfer looks like it will be on Wednesday. This time I'm having two embryos transferred, so I'm kinda excited (and a bit nervous) about that. It's the last two that I have in the freezer and they are lower quality than the ones we have transferred so far. So really, probably not great chances of one sticking, let alone two, but that won't stop me from getting excited about it! I'd really like to get the embryos transferred then forget about it for two weeks, but who am I kidding? I know I will think about it at least 10 times an hour, every waking hour until testing time. Anyone got any tips for setting and forgetting?

  1. Sorry to hear about your last BFN, but glad to hear your holiday was relaxing. I never ovulate when predicted either (usually a few days later than expected), which always makes me wonder if there's something wrong with me... but perhaps there's something wrong with the prediction methods!! Best of luck for the coming cycle. xx
