Hi ladies
Today is the first day of my AF, so I called clinic and hope I can do FET before Xmas. If everything is going well, it must be done Dec 21. When do they usually call us back after we leave a message on the first day of period?
Let s share our experience here if anybody is in Dec/Jan cycle?

I am currently on my 21 days of birth control. As soon as AF arrives i start my protocol. They are currently figuring that if all goes well i will be able to do a five day transfer the first week of December.

I will be taking 112.5ui of gonal F, luveris and cetrotide. They are estimating that i will start my injections November 14. For now just the birth control. Our issues are male factor (antisperm antibodies) so my drug dosages are very low so as not to hyperstimulate.

We had our initial consult on Oct. 16 and got the call saying we were on the November list on Oct.20.

I hope that it will be a fresh cycle. They are concerned about OHSS. I hope you have a very smooth transfer. Is this your first?

Best of luck erogen 😊. I had mild OHSS with my fresh cycle. Could of been sooo much worse.

Maryhope: best of luck! Why did you transfer your embryos? Do you live near Calgary?

You bet Santa is! No reason... Likely problems with the embryo. The miscarriage was hard but the BFN afterward was even harder I think😔

I'd love to join the group as well!  It's nice to have a group of ladies cycling at the same clinic to chat with.

 

I'm currently waiting on AF to get started.  If all goes as planned, I believe I'm supposed to start on Estrace on or around Nov 22ish, with an u/s date two weeks from there and then transfer determined by that.  It will be my 2nd FET with donor eggs.  I've had success on a previous fresh and frozen cycle.  Really hoping #3 works as well. 

Good luck ladies!
