Hi greenleaf
I just did a natural cycle FET.
A couple of days before the embryo transfer and throughout the 2 week wait, I had to do crinone inserts once a day. Now that I got my BFP, I have to go for weekly progesterone injections, duphaston 3 times daily and crinone inserts once a day. I don't know how that compares to your medicated FET but it's definitely less progesterone support than I had to take for my fresh cycle 3 years back.
The downside to a natural cycle is finding the perfect time to do the transfer. They do a scan on the 10th day after your period and then daily scans plus blood tests as you approach ovulation. That was quite a tiring process and there is no guarantee you will transfer that month after all that effort. I had to do the process 3 times before we found the perfect cycle to transfer.
I hope that helps you in making your decision. All the best for your next FET!
Thanks Peaches and congratulations.
Wow, can share the issues that prevented the transfer for natural cycle? 3x is a lot to tahan.
Did u choose natural cycle or doctor recommended.
I read that natural cycle fet success rate is only a little bit better than medicated cycle fet. By 2%. Therefore many doctors & patients prefer medicated cycle as it's easier to manage. But I am interested in natural cycle get coz my progesterone level imo seems to have a problem.
