Frozen Emryo Transfer

Hey ladies,

I'm back! Well I never really left but been laying low recently after our BFN - Found that the emotional stuff hit a few weeks after and have been feeling pretty bleh for a while.

We are coming up to doing our first FET & I was just wondering a couple of things;

1. Does anyone have ANY success stories to give us some hope!?

2. What day do they put the Embryo back in? I'm assuming it is around the time of natural ovulation?

3. We have a Day 5 Blastie going back in so does that change the day that it would go back in as opposed to a Day 3 Embie?

Any help would be great, they explained this all very briefly when we got our BFN but I was too busy trying not to throw up and bawl my eyes out!



Hope everyone else is doing FABULOUSLY!

Hi Parki,

I have had success with a Day 3 Frostie, unfort it didn't last overly long, but it did take.

I too have heard that embies taken to Day 5 Blastie have a better success rate than a Day 3.

With my Day 3, it was transferred back in two or three days after ovulation (if I remember correctly, it was awhile ago now!), but I'm not sure about a Day 5 sorry.

I am doing the Colorado protocol this FET and just started taking Asprin last night and I think transfer will be around the 21st ish?

When do you start?

Good luck!

Thanks for your replies ladies!

Good to hear there is hope, I have been feeling quite strange about this whole FET thing. I think that has more to do with our first attempt of ICSI not working and not the pressure is sort of off and if it works well then we will be beyond excited & if it doesn't, well, we have been there before. We haven't told anyone when it is either to take some pressure off!

I have my first blood test on Friday - Day 8 so I assume the transfer will be late next week?
It is actually perfect timing as DH & I have two weeks annual leave starting August 16th!

We have two blasties frozen. One Grade 1 and one she said has some minor cell damage but still looked good.
Our first attempt was with an 8 cell Day 3 embie so I'm feeling a lot more hopeful with the blastie.

Sorry fo rteh novel, I'm just feeling rather excited about all this now! Thanks guys!

Hi oscarboo, it has been just under one year since my last FET and no blood tests at all in between.

I went to my local Dr just to check my iron levels as they have been very low but thats it.

I just have to ring FA with Day 1 and as far as I know my first BT will be on Day 14.

Good luck for when you do decide to start!
