sunbeam - last year i had a FET before christmas, BT wasnt until 2 jan or something like that - so still doing progesterone & clexane in the tww over christmas. got af a couple of days before new years. the whole thing sucked. im not a big drinker, but it was annoying having to watch what i ate/drank over christmas period. the side effects of the meds didnt help me to relax either, as well as having to remember to take them etc. im always with family over that period too, so it was horrible to go through the highs/lows in front of everyone (or in a bedroom really!), and not have any privacy to deal with everything. even getting away to do the clexane injections i got 'where are you going? why is dh going with you?' (i guess, you wont get that bc you are brave and do all your injections yourself!). i have arranged this cycle so im not transferring over christmas, so that i can just relax and enjoy some time off. i could probably squeeze in another transfer before christmas if this one doesnt work, but i wont. i know if things had gone according to plan, this is what you would have been doing too... it sucks that you have to making these decisions.
there has been some articles floating around about FET having better success rates than fresh, for the reason you mentioned - thats its easier on the body. but again, i think its one of those things, if its going to work - its going to work, no matter if its fresh or frozen. i have had short lived success with both, but personally feel that my body likes frozen better. not based in any scientific evidence though...!
