[quote=Anonymous]Medicated cycles are the most common because they allow for the most control and can be scheduled.Are you traveling for the transfer in another city? In this case medicated is allows for appropriate planning.

A true natural cycle is very difficult because it’s hard to catch ovulation exactly and then time the embryo transfer from that (as soon as you ovulate and start producing progesterone, that sets the time-sensitive window of implantation.)

Modified natural seems like a great option though. You use your natural cycle but give a trigger shot when ready so that the doctor knows when you ovulate and everything can be timed.Because you naturally ovulated, you will have a corpus luteum producing progesterone to support the pregnancy. The progesterone is supplemented, as this shows better outcomes, but it’s less than in a medicated cycle.

To my knowledge, the outcomes in terms of live birth rate are pretty equivalent between medicated and natural/ modified natural.

Most doctors should allow for modified natural. You can make an appointment with them and discuss.[/quote]
