Frozen embryo transfer.

I had ivf for my son who’s 19 months old. I used a frozen embryo for my daughter. Who is now 4 months old. Very lucky to catch first time both times and end up with one of each. I formula fed my son so I had a period at 6 weeks and regularly after that. I’m combi feeding my daughter who 4 months. So 2 bottles a day and breast feeding the rest. And I’ve not had a period since having her. If I was to go for a 3rd frozen transfer. Do I need to stop breast feeding and have regular periods again before doing it?

You need some semblance of a menstrual cycle back. Each clinic has their own rules about bf and meds for transfers so best to ask them

Yeah. They don’t recommend you breastfeed when doing the transfer because of the hormone meds. I had to wean my lo at 19 months to go for another round

I have pretty much the same age gap as you and same luck too! My first round of IVF was successful, I got my son, first transfer from a FET and then went for another FET which gave me my daughter when he was 5 months old which was also successful, so there is a 14 months age gap. I exclusively breastfed both my babies, no one was concerned about me breastfeeding but I think because I got my regular cycle back 3 months pp with my son and then only 5 weeks pp with my daughter even though I was EBF. I think most specialists will want you to have a regular cycle for atleast a month or 2 before going for a transfer. My FETs were both natural cycles too so no meds involved.

I kept on breastfeeding when I had my second successful transfer. My clinic wasn’t supportive but I really wanted to try. I didn’t take any meds. I’m 35 weeks pregnant and still breastfeeding😄

@Karina congratulations yes my babies have a 15 month age gap and it’s the best. Not easy as you know some days but they love each other so much. Thankyou for your response. I’m thinking of stopping breast feeding at 6 months. Then going for a 3rd transfer in January then my body has had a break 🤣 sort of xx

@Leonie congratulations xx
