FET is scheduled for November if I'm ready??
Just wondered anyones thoughts on the following things...
When I speak to Dr P, about what happened, are there any questions you suggest I ask?
Do you think immune issues come into play this late on in a pregnancy, or are these more for ladies who don't implant or losses before 12 weeks?
Are there any vitamins or supplements anyone can recommend before a FET?
Are my chances lower of success with a FET or fresh? Ive never done a FET and I'm worried?
Thanks for any advice xx

I would want to move forward too. I don't think immunity played into this loss but I am not a doctor. I think your chances with a GSN FET are the same or better so that would not worry me at all since you want to do a SET.
If you are ready, and if Dr P thinks it is enough time for you to heal physically after this, I can't wait to cheer you on!Mom to

Really the only time immune issues would come into play is with a significant amount of HLA matches which you most likely don't have as you have kids. There may be other immune issues that can cause late term losses but the chance of you having that issue is slim to none. I would want to move forward too and I hope this next cycle is the last one for you!

Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
^^^That is exactly what I did and everything has FINALLY worked out for the best. I couldn't be more happier in my life than I am right now with these 2 blessings that were brought into my life.

Hey PP - so glad to see you are starting to make plans and look forward.
I love FETs. So much better on the body not to have the bloating and meds in your system that is unavoidable during a fresh cycle (for me anyway). I think there are some links to studies in the research section on FETs. I recall one being about older mothers doing better with FETs. Ultimately odds of success vary from clinic to clinic depending on skills of the lab and freezing method used, and the quality of the embryos etc... So I'd definitely ask Dr P - what his FET success rates are at the moment and how they compare with fresh. He'll have a lot more up to date info than the published SART rates. I'd also ask him how he rates your chances with your particular emby and why the other was chosen to go in first, whether it was just at a more advanced stage. He is pretty honest about giving you a realistic assessment of what he thinks the likelihood of success is. Ultimately its a GSN normal emby. Its got to have a pretty reasonable chance of success.
You should also ask him what regime he uses for FETs and what he recommends for you. I did a natural one (no meds, just blood work to pinpoint ovulation, then embryo went in 5 days after the LH surge). But that's hard to do if you are trying to plan travel, and most clinics do medicated FETs for convenience of scheduling and to avoid you having to go in for 4-5 blood tests.
I'd start up your prenatal vitamins at least a month or two before hand. But other than Folic Acid you don't need anything else.
I have no doubt that you will be second guessing everything and stressing out. I know I was with the FET after my loss. I'd do whatever you can do to help ease the anxiety. By all means be guided by your doctors. But if peace of mind means doing some testing or getting another sonohystergram to check that the uterus is cleared and has healed, then that's what I'd be doing. It does seem unlikely that its immune issues at such a late stage. Was the hospital not able to shed any light on what might have happened? For me, knowing that my HT DD's heart had stopped because she had Down's really helped a lot given that my FET was with a normal aCGH emby.
