Talk to your RE. I think if your HCG is back to zero you can start right away. I gave my body one month rest, but totally get it if you want to continue right away.

Sorry for the bad luck, OP. If you don’t mind me asking, how did the doctor identify that you had a chemical pregnancy? Was it due to low HCG blood test numbers or that they weren’t doubling? I just did my FET and have positive urine tests but terrified to go in for my blood work on Sunday.

Low hcg and numbers didn’t double. Good luck to you u

Got it - thanks! And good luck to you as well. This journey is awful but hopefully will end positively for us.

Has anyone had experience with follicle size discrepancy? I’m trying to freeze my eggs; on day 8/9 ultrasound they counted 4 follicles larger than 11mm, two of which are already mature, 16.7mm and 18.9mm. They also said I have another 5+ in each ovary that are smaller than 11mm. The phone call with the doctor was pretty grim (he basically said we might need to cancel the cycle as 4 follicles is too few for elective freezing). Can the smaller ones maybe catch up? Anyone with a similar experience?
