All went well and I begin taking estrogen today.
I'm really excited to move forward with my little ❄️ babies. My transfer will be towards the end of the month and I cannot wait! The nice thing about FET is there is barely any monitoring, I go in one more time before transfer. I'm really curious as to how I'll feel on the estrogen.

AF came! New fresh start!
I'm either going to go in tomorrow or Friday for my baseline to make sure everything is in good working order for the FET. It's finally here! I'm excited to be moving forward again, but hopefully this time at least one of my ❄️ babies stick. 💖 it would be so amazing to finally be able to know our baby/babies are aboard! As expected, negative. Now just have to wait for AF to start. I'm actually dreaming it because I've heard the first one after ivf sucks, big time. I get painful periods to begin with, so I'm not looking forward to it.
I'm definitely having a glass of wine tonight with my husband, it has been a while. I also plan to begin working out again tomorrow morning. I don't think I will be as inactive this time around. I'm also going to try bone broth and the pineapple core thing this time around. I'm excited to restart, I feel hopeful again. In some weird way, I kind of hope this was a chemical pregnancy, because at least I know implantation can happen. I really feel like one of the remaining 2 embryos is healthy, we shall see and time will tell. Well, still just spotting, but turning red ish.
I did take a test this morning, but BFN. Expected. Gotta wait until tomorrow to test again then I can stop progesterone and wait for AF (period) to start then go in to start the FET. Things I'm looking forward to:
So today is the day of truth. I took 2 different tests this morning just to see if I have a snowball's chance in hell, nope, both sit there negative.. 2 different brands are negative. I'll post the results later, but I already know. I just hope I can see my doctor and set up the FET.
Edit: So, it was negative; however, I need to wait 4 days and do a home pregnancy test and then if that's negative to discontinue progesterone and Wait for period to start. But if my period comes before, discontinue. On cycle day 2, go back for start of FET. We have one more day until blood draw, sadly, I already know the answer. I have about 10 tests saying BFN.
And actually, up until about 8dp (days past) 5dt (day transfer), I felt pretty confident and good about our outcome and prognosis. The Doctor seemed confident, the embryologist was happy with the results, I really thought for the first time that it might truly work... You always know there is a strong possibility that the first cycle won't work, yet, somehow, you just hope that you're the exception and not the rule. I guess luckily we have 2 more embryos left from this round, but I really don't see how those are any better than the ones they just used? I also really hope to roll right into the FET (frozen embryo transfer) cycle, no waiting. I teach so, April and May get really dicey as far as not being in as it is testing season. Here's a quick recap of cycle number one:
I guess that really, only time can tell. I know I'm not really having high hopes for the beta test tomorrow- I know better and I am a whiz at recognizing a negative pregnancy test, I've been seeing them for 40 cycles and counting apparently, which makes me a BFN pro. |
