Hi,

Sorry I don't have a suceess story, but I'm in my 3rd IVF and one previous FET gave me 7 weeks (then miscarried) - longer than any fresh cycle. If your embryos are healthy, it should give you a good result.

I thought the FET was better than the IVF cycle! No worries of hyperstimming. I had ER with no transfer. Dr. wanted to give the body some recovery time. I had FET 2 months after ER and am 13 pregnant with triplets (one embie split into identical twins). I had better lining with the FET than I ever had with any of my 3 previosu failed IVF cycles. Make sure the Dr watches your lining. For my FET my lining was at 10.5!
Good luck :)

Thanks you for your reply. My doctor gave me shot they are called GESTON and some E2 pills to take 3 tims a day and viginal Prog. the shots i take are i think help to maintaine pregnancy. after 2 weeks i take beta test. and then i take again beta test every 3 days but my doctor never gives me any other blood tests or ultra sound untill 5 weeks pregnant. so i have no idea whats my linning or anything. do i have to ask my doctor for additional blod work or u/s??? i didn't start yet my FET but i know from my first IVF how my doctor works.

I did a fet on July 3. I got a bfp on Monday, July 9. and my beta blood test was on July 12, 07 I got a bfp beta was 333. My edd is 3/20/08. I even went out of town on day 3 of my transfer. I did et on July 3 on July 5 I was on the road for 7 hour stoping only once to use the rest room. On day 1 of the transfer I cramp like crazy had very bad leg cramps too. On day 2 following 5 day transfer. I just had cramping. By Friday I was peeing every 30 mins. I had a feeling that i was pg. but was not sure. So I took the test got 2 lines I ended up on my knee's praying and thanking god. I ate a can of pineapples the day of the transfer if that help at all. Good luck...
