Going in for my first FET today. This bowl has been so helpful and supportive in this journey so far, I wanted to thank you all and ask for your positive thoughts, energy, prayers, vibes, whatever. It feels so good to know I have this amazing group of women thinking about me and cheering me on.

Thanks again to everyone in this bowl for your support. I’m on the second of two days of “modified bed rest” recommended by my doctor, and I just wanted to share the photo of the embryo they showed me before my FET. You can clearly see here the “hatching” part of the “hatching blastocyst” and it really helped make this real for me. I hope it provides something to look forward to for others who are just beginning this journey!

This wait is very hardcore but stay calm and try to focus on something else so that the time passes by quickly. Good luck 👍

Hi all, folks on this thread asked me to keep you updated so I’m circling back with news.

(Trigger warning: if you’re in a place where the journey is hard and hearing about others’ results is difficult, I totally understand. I’ve been there; it’s tough. Maybe don’t keep reading.)

Blood test today confirmed that I am, in fact, pregnant. I’m feeling all the feels: excited, relieved, appreciative, apprehensive. Gosh this is such a roller coaster, but I’m trying my best to enjoy every thrill even if it scares me. I know the future is by no means certain (doctor says 6% miscarriage rate for PGS tested embryos, but that’s still not 0%), but in this moment I am feeling so grateful for everything that helped me get here, including the support from everyone on this bowl. THANK YOU!
