Fet due date update#
You and your partner may also need to update your informed consents for FET cycles. If you are returning after a delivery or certain types of gynecological surgery, your doctor may require an updated mock embryo transfer (MET) and transvaginal scan, if indicated.

You will need to get in contact with the midwifery booking service or your GP and let them know that you are pregnant, so that they can arrange appropriate care for you.Unlike a fresh stimulated IVF cycle, an FET cycle requires very little testing in advance. You antenatal care (the care that you receive during pregnancy) will not be carried out at the Unit. You will also need to come to the Unit to collect a supply of progesterone pessaries, which you will need to carry on taking until the ultrasound scan confirms that the pregnancy is viable. We will arrange an ultrasound scan 3 weeks later to confirm that you are pregnant, the pregnancy is in your womb, and not your fallopian tube (ectopic pregnancy), is alive (viable) and to determine the number of babies present. If your pregnancy test is positive, you should let us know straight away. You may choose to have this over the phone or face-to-face at a follow-up appointment. You are welcome to hear the findings of this meeting, if you wish. We will send you a letter to let you know when this meeting has taken place. The weekly meetings also enable us to make recommendations to improve the chances of future cycles being successful. We do this to see if there is anything that could have been done differently. We hold weekly meetings in the Unit where we review treatment cycles that have not been successful or that had to be stopped mid-cycle. If your pregnancy test is negative we will provide you with support to help you through this difficult time. If this is the case, you may want to call out of hours and leave an answerphone message. If the result is negative, you may not feel ready to speak to us in person. You should call us after you have done the pregnancy test to let us know what the result is. Continue with your progesterone cream or pessaries. If you experience any bleeding you should contact us. Vaginal bleeding can also occur as the embryos/blastocysts try to implant in your womb. You can expect to have a period 12-16 days after your embryo/blastocyst transfer if this is the case. However, a period usually means that you are not pregnant. This is because we have known patients in the past who have had bleeding, despite being pregnant. If you experience a period after the treatment you should still do the pregnancy test.
Fet due date free#
Support counselling is available free of charge during and after your treatment.

Please do not forget, our dedicated team of specialist counsellors are available if you feel you need someone to talk things over with. However, we understand that waiting to do the test can be very stressful. (A false positive occurs when the test says that you are pregnant when you actually are not.) False positive pregnancy tests are very distressing, which is why we ask patients to wait.

You must wait until this date to do the test, as doing the test earlier may give a false positive result. The nurse will give you a date on which you should do the test. You will be given a pregnancy test after your embryo/blastocyst transfer.
