#frozenembryotransfer

It’s been a while. I know. Honestly, nothing exciting has been happening in my life since our final lining check. Started Progesterone, check! That wasn’t so bad. The bruising is minimal and it only stings a little when the hubby gets relatively near a prior injection hole. 

TOMORROW is the day! Tomorrow we get implanted with our 1st embaby. It’s surreal knowing that tomorrow may very well be the day we get and stay pregnant! It’s also terrifying to know that tomorrow we get implanted, but the embaby may not stick and we won’t find that out til October 3rd (unless i test early, which lets be honesty... i probably will). 

Ok, so come January the hubby and I will be moving into my parent’s house. My parents have been AMAZING throughout this whole IVF process. Without question, they’ve offered us financial help in order to achieve our dream of having a child. With their help we’ve been able to pay our normal rent and bills - BUT to pay them back, it’d take 7-8 years (at a minimum) to pay them back. We are currently paying 20k a year in rent in Orange County and once we add baby items (hopefully) and start paying my parents back it’ll just be unmanageable. So, we decided to move in with my parents (who have tons of space) in order to pay down our debt in 2 years instead. 

Now we have 2 options for bedrooms to choose from. 

  Option A: 

·         Pros: Bigger of the two bedrooms (should fit king bed no problem), has walk in closet

·         Cons: in between my mom’s bedrooms, above the living room, faces the backyard

  Option B:

·         Pros: Above the kitchen/garage, in between the bonus room (which will be ours to use) and the shared bathroom, faces the side yard

·         Cons: smaller of the two (might not be able to fit the whole bed frame), one sliding closet

  There’s not many pros or cons to my list I know, mostly because the other stuff doesn’t matter.

I’m sitting here on my couch wine drunk (please ignore any misspellings or awkward sentences). I had my FET baseline appointment this morning (my second one this week). My doctor wanted me to come back today to check my lining because as of Friday I had not yet gotten full flow period. Well this morning looks like everything was A-OK. I dragged the husband with me today because he hasn’t been with me to any other appointments. I swear, the nurses probably thought I was doing this all alone by this point. Well we had a 9:15 appointment but didn’t get out of there until 11am! It was a long morning of waiting and people watching.

There was one couple who was there with their one-year old child. *Warning: Rant Coming* Who in their right mind thinks “let me bring my child to the IVF clinic.” This is literally a place where infertility rages, where people are doing everything they can to have a child. Having a child in the waiting room for an hour and a half is not a pleasant way to spend the morning, being reminded that you have a child while I’ve been paying thousands of dollars and waiting years for one of my own.

There was also this random group of people there. 3 or 4 women and 2 men, all together. My husband and I kept trying to guess what the situation was (surrogate, parents of the ones undergoing IVF) who knows. But they were loud and obnoxious and taking up half of the waiting room. Like, there should be no reason to bring THAT many people to your blood test and ultrasound appointment.

Anyhoo my results came back good and we are ready to start our FET protocol. Tonight, I take my first estrogen pill. I’m supposed to take my first prednisone as well, but I think I’m going to hold off until tomorrow morning (don’t tell my IVF doc!). Personally, I just don’t think it’s a good idea to take prednisone with dinner and then again with breakfast, especially when it’s supposed to be a once every 24 hours pill. So, tomorrow is the real first day of medication. Estrogen pills, estrogen patch, and prednisone. Woot. I’ve already warned the hubs of future emotional outbursts and estrogen rages :-p

This morning was rough. Today was supposed to be my final lining check before our FET next Wednesday. I was supposed to go in, see my thick lining, and get instructions for starting progesterone shots tonight. Well if there’s one thing infertility has taught me, it’s that nothing goes as planned. 

Turns out my lining actually decreased in thickness since Monday. Even though they doubled my estrogen, my lining went from a 6 to a 5.4. The doctor talked to me after and said that while they can increase the estrogen for the next three days (which they’ll probably have me do) - it might be beneficial to induce a period and start our cycle over with a heavier focus on more estrogen at the beginning of the cycle. I couldn’t help it. Here i was alone in the room with the doctor, my husband sleeping soundly at home, and i’m finding out that our transfer is not happening next Wednesday as scheduled. I started crying. Everything I've been looking forward too seemed to disappear right before my eyes. Three days off next week, pregnant until proven otherwise... all of that gone. 

I immediately drove home, called my boss and told her i’d be late to work today. I curled up in my husbands arms and just cried and cried and cried. The hubs convinced me to take a sick day today, to relax and let it all out. He ended up staying home as well. 

Frozen Embryo Transfer in Ahmedabad: Why FET Is So Popular Today

Many couples undergoing IVF are now choosing Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) because it offers better timing and a more stable environment for implantation. Instead of transferring embryos immediately in the same IVF cycle, embryos are frozen and transferred later when the uterus is better prepared.

The main reason Frozen Embryo Transfer in Ahmedabad is gaining popularity is that it reduces stress on the body after ovarian stimulation. Many fertility specialists prefer FET for PCOS patients, couples with repeated IVF failures, or when genetic testing is planned. In many cases, success rates are equal to or better than fresh transfers because implantation happens in a hormonally balanced cycle.

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) is a process of storing embryos from a previous IVF cycle and transferring back to woman's uterus. Learn more about the FET Cycles, cost & process.
