[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going through this now-- my last two FET cycles were medicated (and successful). This time the docs at GW want to try a natural cycle because with both of my previous births, I had a severe post-partum hemorrhage/ retained placenta, and they want to see if this helps any.

My cycle day 1 was last Monday (April 19). That Thursday I went in for a sonogram/bloodwork, which indicated I was fairly far along in the ovulation cycle, and I ordered my Ovidrel and progesterone over the weekend in case I had to trigger on Monday (the 26th). My bloodwork and sonogram on Monday indicated I wasn't quite ready, so I went in again today, and waiting on results now. If I trigger today or tomorrow, my transfer will be 7 days from the trigger shot. So, from 19 April to approximately 4 or 5 May, or 16-17 days.

The biggest difference I am noticing between previous medicated and a natural cycle is the number of times I am having to go in for monitoring. That, and uncertainty over my transfer date are the two main drawbacks. The positives are: saving money on meds, and not being wildly hormonal/bloated from drugs, and not having to give myself shots every day (other than the upcoming trigger shot). If I weren't going in every day for bloodwork and sonograms, it would feel just like regular life haha.[/quote]

Me again. I just got scheduled to do my trigger shot tonight. I am starting my progesterone suppositories on Thursday, and my transfer is scheduled for next Tuesday.[/quote]

Also me. I had my transfer yesterday, and my doc said something interesting, while talking generally about how ivf as a field is constantly developing and researchers/practitioners reevaluate. She said that research shows that if you evaluate simply by whether they result in pregnancy, medicated and natural cycles have similar results. But, that there is discussion now on whether medicated cycles result in more obstetric problems. [/quote]
