Hi oscarboo, it has been just under one year since my last FET and no blood tests at all in between.

I went to my local Dr just to check my iron levels as they have been very low but thats it.

I just have to ring FA with Day 1 and as far as I know my first BT will be on Day 14.

Good luck for when you do decide to start!]]> Sat, 07 Aug 2010 16:20:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1120779&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1120779 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1120296&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1120296 Author: oscarboo

Sorry, I have a question for you all now. Were there many blood tests in the months leading up to look at your cycles? I am thinking about going back for FET but am quite nervous even though it won't be for a while yet.]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:09:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1120296&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1120296 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1118280&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1118280 Author: Parki

Thanks for your replies ladies!

Good to hear there is hope, I have been feeling quite strange about this whole FET thing. I think that has more to do with our first attempt of ICSI not working and not the pressure is sort of off and if it works well then we will be beyond excited & if it doesn't, well, we have been there before. We haven't told anyone when it is either to take some pressure off!

I have my first blood test on Friday - Day 8 so I assume the transfer will be late next week?
It is actually perfect timing as DH & I have two weeks annual leave starting August 16th!

We have two blasties frozen. One Grade 1 and one she said has some minor cell damage but still looked good.
Our first attempt was with an 8 cell Day 3 embie so I'm feeling a lot more hopeful with the blastie.

Sorry fo rteh novel, I'm just feeling rather excited about all this now! Thanks guys! ]]> Wed, 04 Aug 2010 18:43:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1118280&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1118280 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1118190&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1118190 Author: ItchyFeet

Our son is our first time FET, an embryo implanted at day 3 post OV, just as if it was the same as natural timing i.e. an 8 cell at 3 days. We had 1 damaged cell but anything greater than 50% is viable.

I believe a blastocyst is probably a better success rate than an embryo because they have already developed further i.e. just as all eggs don't fertilise, and all fertilised eggs don't develop into blastocysts, a blastocyst has already got past all those hurdles.

Compared to IVF, the FET was just like IUI or a smear. Our implantation was done in my lunchbreak during a particularly stressful time for me, and it all turned out good for us! Good luck.

Hi Parki,

I have had success with a Day 3 Frostie, unfort it didn't last overly long, but it did take.

I too have heard that embies taken to Day 5 Blastie have a better success rate than a Day 3.

With my Day 3, it was transferred back in two or three days after ovulation (if I remember correctly, it was awhile ago now!), but I'm not sure about a Day 5 sorry.

I am doing the Colorado protocol this FET and just started taking Asprin last night and I think transfer will be around the 21st ish?

When do you start?

Good luck!]]> Wed, 04 Aug 2010 10:42:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1117814&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1117814 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1117619&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1117619 Author: sarahd

Hi Parki we didnt have success with our day 3 embryo, but I have heard the success rates with day 5 are very similar to fresh.

It is a piece of cake compared to what you went through with IVF!

If you ovulate normally, they wll monitor your natural cycle with daily blood tests and then implant it at a "natural" day 5.

Good luck.]]> Wed, 04 Aug 2010 06:22:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1117619&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1117619 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1117539&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1117539 Author: Parki

Hey ladies,

I'm back! Well I never really left but been laying low recently after our BFN - Found that the emotional stuff hit a few weeks after and have been feeling pretty bleh for a while.

We are coming up to doing our first FET & I was just wondering a couple of things;

1. Does anyone have ANY success stories to give us some hope!?

2. What day do they put the Embryo back in? I'm assuming it is around the time of natural ovulation?

3. We have a Day 5 Blastie going back in so does that change the day that it would go back in as opposed to a Day 3 Embie?

Any help would be great, they explained this all very briefly when we got our BFN but I was too busy trying not to throw up and bawl my eyes out!



Hope everyone else is doing FABULOUSLY!]]> Tue, 03 Aug 2010 21:38:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35065&PID=1117539&title=frozen-emryo-transfer#1117539
