A pregnancy could cause these hormone levels to go even higher which can make symptoms worse and put you at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome-also known as OHSS. Hormones are at their highest after retrieval. An FET gives patients time to recover after egg retrieval and before implantation. Why is a frozen embryo transfer preferred?ġ. Eggs are retrieved, fertilized in the lab, embryos are allowed to develop and are then transferred into the uterus 3-5 days after egg retrieval.Ī frozen embryo transfer (or FET) occurs when eggs are retrieved, fertilized in the lab, and embryos are frozen instead of transferred. ![]() What is the difference between a fresh and frozen embryo transfer?Ī fresh embryo transfer occurs in the same cycle as the IVF cycle.

My RE believes in day 5 and FET in which his confidence level is at 70-80%. We must also clock 7-8 hours of sleep a day. This is to help with blood circulation (I monitored my heart rate and it was at 144 at the end of 30mjns soak) and better sleep quality (I have the worst insomnia for years). My RE believes in a combination of Chinese and western medical practice so he had advised me to soak my feet every night for 30mins at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. In the meantime, continue to take your pre-natal and do some light exercises if you can. I am on day 17 now and will be getting my FET in 3 days.

How long does it usually take for the lining to thicken up? I know it won't be exact, but a general timeline would be helpful. When my lining is right then they'll schedule transfer and I'll start PIO injections. I'll start bcp on CD 3-4 and then take estrogen (and maybe something else?) orally with a couple monitoring appts to check lining. so I'm currently CD 3), but that I'll call on CD 1 of the next cycle to get started. She said this cycle doesn't count (AF started this past Fri. I know FETs aren't as complicated as fresh so does that mean a FET cycle is shorter? I know every doctor is different, but I'm hoping someone has done a similar protocol and give me an idea of timing. Our nurse gave a our likely protocol, but I was wondering more about what the timeline will be. We ended up with 3 frozen from that cycle and have purchased a bundle package that includes one FET. We just had our first failed IVF/ICSI cycle (negative beta last Monday). ![]()
