Being advised to wait 3 months now!
Afternoon ladies.
I have just had a call from the clinic and they have told me that they are now recommending that I have 3 AFs before starting a natural FET cycle following us abandoning our last cycle after EC due to OHSS which never happened. This seems totally ridiculous to me. I understand that there needs to be a 3 month gap between full IVF cycles as you are taking more drugs but I won't even be having any drugs this time so why wait?! We were thinking of waiting for a full cycle after my AF comes now but to wait another one as well seems a bit over cautious. What do you guys think? Have you had any experience of this?
Thanks for your help xx

Lougla - I don't think they are planning to use any drugs at all which is why it is all a bit bizarre!!

I am really down and fed up tho, at the earliest we'll be looking at mid november now and the biological clock ticks ever louder (I am obsessed with my age lol!)
Sorry for the rant!
Fingers crossed for a speedy embryo transfer and a BFP!

Sorry your having to wait but at least it's for the right reasons. The time will fly by.
Any chance you can plan a little holiday or a couple of breaks away. If not plan some really special weekend day trips that your really going to look forward to as this will break up the time for you and give you something else to look forward to.
Hope you keep coming on here as well as us newbies need all the help we can get.

I'm sorry your having to wait. I have been doing the waiting thing too. Start my spray for FET after the 15th September.......it has passed very quickly! Hang in there, it won't seem as long as it sounds xxxx
Im sorry i cant help you but just wanted to say im sorry you are hitting another obstacle in your journey and hoping the time will pass quickly for you. Hoping for a perfect end result for you xx
I have a lot of other things coming up so hoping these will keep me busy and DH is excited about it being game on for trying again naturally in the mean time!!
Only just seen this and I'm so sorry you are disappointed, I know how frustrating it is : ( After our secod failed IVF that we have just been through my consultant also advised we wait for 3 cycles before having FET. He wants me to have a natural FET cycle too, as in absolutely no drugs at all, just monitor my cycle and place the embryos in during my natural OV stage...and then have the progesterone pessaries for the 2ww...but no injection or sprays or anything else. He said the reason he wants us to wait for 3 cycles is because he wants it to be a totally natural cycle, and so I need to wait to make sure all of the drugs from the last round of IVF are totally out of my system and it is just my own hormones doing all the work. We were so disappointed too as it feels like forever to wait...but I am starting to get used to the idea and realising it must be for the best. I'm also trying to think that we have 2 months of 'natural' ttc, so maybe we will be lucky and it will happen on its own...however small a chance it is at least giving me something to hope for!!!
Anyway, hope you're ok, I know how tough it is but hopefully if we wait for the right time our bodies will do better and give us the wonderful babies we are hoping for : )
Take care of yourself hun.x.
I am feeling a bit better about the wait now as one AF is already over and done with so only two more to go - I wonder if I'll still be as patient by November!! Here's hoping we both get our miricle BFP in the mean time, then maybe I can spend the grand I have saved on maternity clothes!

Yea I'm ok thanks. Slowly picking myself up again although still finding that I burst into tears at unexpected moments every now and then...but it's getting less and I am starting to feel a little bit stronger again. Hopefully we can get through these couple of months together and it will go quickly : )
So yes, my consultant said that we would be able to have another natural FET cycle straightaway if the first one doesn't work, because it's natural there is no reason not to. Unfortunately we may not have any snow babies left as we only have 5 and they aren't the best quality so they may have to defrost all of them at the same time in the hopes that at least 1 will make it. Our consultant also said though that if this FET cycle doesn't work we could also go straight into a fresh IVF attempt the month after...again because the FET cycle will be natural it means we would be fine to go into IVF straight after. Really hoping that we either get pregnant ourselves beforehand or that the first FET cycle works though so that we don't have to think about any of that!!! : )

It is interesting what your consultant said - I hoped as much although obviously hope that neither of us get to this stage!! x
