Mamas, how long after a c section did you try your next FET? How did you prep, and how was your pregnancy?

I did IVF for both pregnancies and my fertility clinic makes you wait at least one year. I waited a year and a half to begin treatments again because that is when I felt ready.

I did IVF for the second pregnancy so all of those hormones and related medications and I have not given birth yet. Planning to have a scheduled c section. I went to a pelvic PT after my first c section for PT exercises and scar tissue work.

I waited until a little over a year - 1 year is what my clinic said, but I also had to be done nursing/pumping. I needed to do another egg retrieval before attempting another FET, so I started meds for the retrieval at 14 months postpartum and was pregnant at 19 months postpartum.

Pregnancy was okay - I had hemorrhaging with my first emergency c-section and no one realized I was still highly anemic. I ended up needing iron transfusions in my second and third trimester. Outside of that and seeing the MFM as a high risk pregnancy, it was fairly normal. I ended up deciding on a scheduled c-section this time, which went better than the emergency c-section for my first.

We have one more frozen embryo left, and if we decide to go for a third, I will wait until a year postpartum.

My ob said to wait 18 months between pregnancies (so 8 months post delivery) - if I wanted to start fet less than a year before last delivery my RE said he needed my OB to sign off on it, which she did. Had a couple of miscarriages before my 2nd but now have 2 about 2 years apart. Timing is not always within our control though.

Thanks.

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.
