Natural cycle FET

[Anonymous]

How does natural cycle FET typically work? Looking for a protocol.

NoT op but interested!

Never done it but pretty sure you do the transfer after you ovulate naturally.

You call them on day 1.
They have you start coming in around day 9-10 to monitor for ovulation.
When they know you're ready to ovulate they give you a trigger shot.
You start progesterone the next day and transfer on day 3 or 5 depending on when your embryos were frozen.
It's super easy.

Does SG do natural FETs?

SG does not do natural cycle.

GWU does natural cycle if you have had some failures with a medicated cycle.

PP: I had a failed medicated cycle at a big name out of state clinic and just got the go ahead to proceed with a natural cycle. For me, this is a WAY easier/less stress process than the medicine.

I am THRILLED that although my body hasn't made me a baby it is cooperating by allowing my cycles to be normal.

I just started my first natural cycle FET at GW. This is my first ET as my I had a freeze all ER. My doctor okayed natural cycle because I have regular ovulating cycles -- they know because I did 4 IUIs with them previously. The PP had the protocol similar to mine. I went in Day 2 for baseline bloodwork and ultrasound (make sure no cysts) and have been told to come back on Day 9 for second monitoring. I may have another monitoring appt and then they will tell me to do Ovidrel trigger, start progesterone, and then go in for transfer five days later (as I have Day 5 frostie).

How'd everything go?

I had my only success with a natural cycle FET. SG would not do one. This was at SIRM.

With the natural cycle study, do you have to take progesterone shots after the transfer? I was told that the reason for the progesterone shots in regular IVF is that the retrieval actually punctures the gland that produces progesterone, so I would think it would be the same process with natural IVF, right? Or am I wrong?

Who are ideal candidates for natural cycle FET?

no retrieval for natural FET. no p4 supplements necessary.

women who ovulate regularly on their own.
