PP, did the results of your ERA change the timing for your transfer? I’m wondering whether to ask for this prior to our FET for our second child. I did not do an ERA for our first FET but were very lucky that it worked.

I'm not at GW but I suggest calling soon. My son will also turn 1 in December. We planned to try an FET by the end of the year, and my RE suggested I have two periods before we do. He also wants to re-run some baseline tests, including a saline sono, during those two cycles. I haven't gotten a period yet, so it's looking like we'll have to wait a little longer. I'm still EBF but not ready to wean yet.

I'm not in DC, but I scheduled my first FET when DS was 10 months (I had been combo feeding b/c of low supply and weaned completely around 8.5 months). First FET failed, so then I did an ERA and scheduled the next FET for the following month. 35 weeks pregnant now from that FET and kiddos will be about 22 months apart. I did not need to schedule a consult, I just emailed my RE/nurse and we went from there once she confirmed I had completely weaned. Good luck!

Thank you!

Hello, DS will be 1 at the beginning of December, at which point I would like to stop breastfeeding, and begin the process to try for #2 in January (we have a couple frozen embryos). Do I schedule a consult before I stop breastfeeding? Wait til after? I go to GWU. What is the timeline like? Will Covid affect any of the timing? Assuming all things go well (which I know is a mighty big assumption), I'd like them roughly 2 years apart. Thank you for any insight.
