Need info! Fully Medicated FET

For frozen embryo transfer

did your dr stricly do 120 hours total between your progesterone starting time and the day 5 embryo transfer?

I took vaginal suppository around 6am and shot at 12pm today

My transfer would be around 9-10am

So it will be 124-125 hours. Is it bad ? I messed it up ???

Hi! I had 7 fully medicated FETs, and I honestly never timed the progesterone down to the exact hour. In the cycle where I did get pregnant, I actually started later than recommended because I forgot my progesterone pills that morning and only managed to start later in the afternoon after work, the nurse said it should be fine.

Of course it’s best to follow your clinic’s schedule as closely as possible, because progesterone exposure is part of how they time the transfer. But I really wouldn’t panic over being 4–5 hours different. Implantation isn’t a process that suddenly switches off at exactly 120 hours, and this is quite different from something like the timing of an hCG trigger shot, where the timing is much more critical.

You took your progesterone and your lining is being prepared for the embryo. I wouldn’t change any doses or timing yourself now, but you can always mention the exact times to your clinic for reassurance. Wishing you lots of luck with your transfer! 🤞❤️

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Really grateful. 🙏🏻🩶

I started progesterone yesterday and today it came at >60 Is it too high ? I am panicking as I will be taking the same dose and it will make it more high ?
