Anyone do a FET at SG recently & it has been over a year since your last visit?

[Anonymous]

I'd like to start getting my ducks in a row before heading back in for a consult to get a FET underway. I'm thinking I'll need to go to my GYN for an annual, right? What tests will SG make me redo? Saline sono? Mock transfer? HSG?

Thanks!

You will need a current Pap smear and mammogram if you are 40 and above. Also maybe current infectious disease testing.

Thanks! Will SG do the infectious disease testing bloodwork at my visit?

Unfortunately this is the bloodwork where you go to a lab and have an insane amount of vials drawn. Same for your husband/partner.

We got lab slips and had to go to Labcorp for this.

Somehow I don't remember this...thank you!

You don't have to get a PAP smear, but you do have to sign a form saying you'll keep up with your GYN medical care. (Just got that form in the mail over the weekend, so that's super current.)

But mammogram for 40+ is required annually.

You'll basically be redoing all the tests (hsg, saline sono, day 3 bloodwork, STD testing). My experience this past December was that I was also asked to provide documentation that I had had a pap smear within the past 12 months. My doc was cool with providing me with the script for all my tests before I went in to see her so that I only had to make one visit plus I could get all my testing in before the end of the year/change in insurance.

Does anyone find this extremely annoying??

I didn't have to do anything other than infectious disease bloodwork. I did have to have my Gyn fax them something saying I had been there in the past year (pap not necessary).

Yes.
I've never understood the repeat HSG requirement for a frozen transfer.

Especially since a frozen transfer doesn't require your tubes!

Are we all talking about SG? I only had one HSG, in the very beginning. I've had 2 FETs, and its been almost 3 years since that HSG!

You'll also need to re-sign the consent form for the FET as they are only good for like 90 days or something.

Wouldn't the HSG show any abnormalities in the uterine cavity? I think they just want to optimize your chances of the transfer working, otherwise it's a waste of an embryo.
