Medicated or natural

[samrakkar]

Hi,

just wondering i'm going to go for et next month - i've been asked if i want to go medicated or natural. I heard that its just personal preference and doesn't really make a difference in success rates. Is this right? what would most of you advise me to go for? x

Hi samrakkar. What do you mean by having embryo transfer medicated? Do you mean put to sleep or sedation? x x

Hi samrakkar. I was put to sleep, only took 20mins, this is the way they do all at liverpool clinic. Good luck x

I didn't realise they put you to sleep in some areas for the embryo transfer Lccxb38. I got to watch my embryos been transferred on the screen. It was amazing and we got a wee ultrasound pic. It wasn't painful and it was over & done with in under 15 mins x x

Sorry I got mixed up with the EC, I was put to sleep for this but was awake for the EF with no medication. How long do u have to wait for your test day? Mines in about 34hrs & counting xx

I've been told I'll be sedated too due to be having issues with interns exams. I'm at a clinic in London. Hope that helps

sorry ladies! i'd some how turned my notifications off! ok so frozen transfer - apparently you can have medication so my period etc is controlled and theres a plan to follow so the doctor is in control of the stages etc for when the best time is to transfer the embryo. Or have it with no drugs and just wait naturally until my body is at the right time and suitable for ET.
