Had my first FET (pursued ivf after a 13 wk trisomy loss and full term stillbirth on 9/16/25) on 6/19. All was well but I have been progressively coming down with a cold since 2dpt (no fever). Anyone had a similar experience that went on to have a pregnancy??
Spiraling a bit 😮💨
and feeling like I am so close but so far. For context: 1 LC (3 years old), 1 13-week MC /D&E (trisomy 21) on 10/4/24 and 1 full term stillbirth (Quinn, 9/16/25).
Even though we are transferring a highly graded, PGT-A tested embryo, I just have been on the losing side of the most horrific statistics (holding my 7 lb, 9oz dead daughter is the most excruciating pain I have ever felt), so like, why would it work?
I guess I am wondering what mantras gave you all hope during hopeless time. I can't even let myself think that FET will work for the fear of jinxing everything. We went the IVF route because we wanted to ensure no chromosome abnormality/decrease chance of MC due to PGT-A and the promise of early and frequent monitoring.
Thanks all
Hi!
First time ivf-er pursuing this after full term still birth and 13 week trisomy loss (1 LC). I am on day 17 of FET prep (just estrace and Claritin/pepcid). Going out to dinner with friends on 6/13 and wanted to have 1 glass of my favorite wine before FET on 6/19. Progesterone starts 6/14. I’ve been abstaining for about 20 days up to now. Thoughts?
