March is inching closer. I'm more towards the end of March for transfer.
I'm doing a natural cycle again. Even though the first one failed.
We might be doing a natural cycle too, haven't decided yet and feeling pretty torn as we only have one frozen embryo. I see you're at Heartland! just curious how your experience has been so far with them?

Our first cycle was terrible with them they convinced my husband at retrieval time to do icsi which was something we were against. And it ended with not so great results. But second cycle we did conventional ivf with amazing results so we are happy now.
Are you at Heartland?
Yeah we are at heartland as well. We just did our first round of IVF with them in January and everything was going great until retrieval. All my monitoring apts were done with a doctor who was filling in for everyones vacation week and I had about 15 mature follies, and another 20 that were borderline. When retrieval day came, Dr.Mactavish was the one who did retrieval and as soon as he went in with the ultrasound and needle there were only 3 mature follies and he mentioned how "this doesn't line up with your monitoring, there should be a lot more follies" so needless to say that was the worst day in our journey so far. We also had to do ICSI even though we really did not want to and also assisted hatching on the embryo we transferred.
We don't have a followup until Feb 21 to go over what went wrong but we aren't happy so far. We're going to go ahead with a FET with our remaining embaby and if no luck we'll likely be exploring Calgary's clinic. They'd have to instill some serious confidence back in to my husband for him to even consider using them again for another round of IVF.

. We have one frosty but the doctor gave us only 30% chance due to the quality. We prettty much have to take this step before doing another fresh cycle with DHEA and COQ10. We are not going into it very hopeful but you never know. I wish everyone the best of luck with their treatments.

Hi All.
I just got the call and accepted FET for March. My tentative transfer date is March 29th. We did a fresh cycle in October, transferred one 5 day blast which ended in a chemical
Hi Adrian555 - I had a chemical in October too - It has made me less excited this time - I wasn't expecting that at all! Good luck with your next little embryo - it just takes 1!! :-)

RebeccaG - Best of luck to you! I am definitely going into this one with a different mind set, they thought my fresh cycle would be a slam dunk but out of 11 fertilized eggs, only two made it to day 5. I see you have to take BC for your FET? All these different protocols confuse me! lol.

I don't remember it affecting my period at all, I also didn't have a very hard time with recovery but I will warn you about the gas that gets stuck in the abdomen after the procedure, it is not fun.. keep a heating pad handy, that really helped me.
