Hi I am new to this forum - this is my first post. I have 4 children and have many ivf attempts, miscarriages ectopic pregnancy etc. I have recently done FET. I initially started on a stim cycle which was replaced by HRT when stim did not work well. To my surprise I got a BFP, 1st level 137 at 14dpo, 2nd level 566 18 dpoand 3rd level 7867 at 24 dpo. I had 2 4cell grade A embryos transferred. I have difficulty believing that where the entire pregnancy is "held on" by hormone tablets that a pregnancy can "stick". Has anyone else had FET with HRT and success? I am now 43. I have my first ultrasound today, and am very scared as have had hx of miscarriage (as well as succesful pregnancies). I so want to see a hearbeat at the u/s this afternoon. I am between 6 & 7 weeks now. Will update whether good or bad after the u/s this afternoon.
Congrats and welcome I think we are belly buddies. You might also like to check out the pregnancy after long term trying to conceive, and pregnancy after miscarriage and loss forums. I am also having an IVF bubba after a few miscarriages, but this bubba is from a fresh transfer. I hope you see a gorgeous heartbeat or two today! Let us know how you go.
Thanks for the well wishes, it really means a lot to me as I haven't told people and feel very much alone. I had the u/s today, and before the ultrasonographer did it, she warned me from my dates it might be a little early to see a heartbeat (6wks 3 days), especially as FET with HRT. As she warned, we did not see a heartbeat, but did see a sack of the right size with a really tiny fetal pole that is of the correct size for the level of gestation (1.2mm I think). So I have to go back next Monday for another u/s to see if all is ok. How am I going to last almost a week? The u/s was supposed to reassure me but it hasn't! Even though I know that everything looks normal for this stage. This is going to be the slowest week!
The fetal pole is great news. I hope the next week goes quickly for you (seems we will be counting down to a scan on the same date ). Your belly buddies thread is here https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...81/index3.html
Congratulations Contentmother!
Good luck for your next scan.
I don't have any tips for making the wait go quicker other than trying to stay busy. I'm past nine weeks and two promising scans so far but I still feel like I'm constantly counting down the days till my next scan!
Well the Dr Rang and wasn't too happy with the results. I am to go in for another u/s on Friday (not Monday) because there should be a heartbeat by then or it isn't going to happen. The blood test results so far have been so good, I will be heartbroken myself if the baby doesn't haven't a heartbeat on Friday.
ContentMother - there is a thread around here for someone else who had no heartbeat at your stage, and came back a week later and saw a heartbeat. There is some hope .
Just letting you know I had no heart beat at first ultrasound with this pregnancy when I should of been 6-7weeks but was told to go back in two weeks thinking that all would be bad as I had some bleeding but nope there was a good strong heartbeat on the second ultrasound! Good luck it's very nerve wracking, I would opt to have another ultrasound in a week if you still get no heartbeat on Friday just to make sure.
I also had no heartbeat, jut fetal pole at 6 weeks. That fetal pole is now a 2.5 year old little boy. Interestingly my doc wasn't at all concerned, I didn't have another scan until my first ob appt at 8 or 9 weeks.
Don't let your GP get you down or stress you out! Stick with the original scan date. GL
First post - u/s today
