Medicated or natural transfer?

Hi ladies, I have been following posts on this forum since we started our journey 2 months ago. I had a very successful egg collection resulting in 13 embryos! The downside was enlarged ovaries and mild OHSS so we had to put everything on ice! I have an appointment with consultant on Tuesday to discuss next steps and need to decide if a Medicated or natural transfer would be best for me..... I am 'unexplained' with regular periods however I am leaning towards medicated so the clinic can be in complete control (rather than just trusting my body) Any advice would be appreciated!

I was always for medicated but after 2 unsuccessful medicated FETs and a natural (I did use cycologest and steroids) FET resulting in me now being 34 weeks pregnant I’d always recommend natural, if you’re ovulating and able to.

It’s a lot less stressful and it’s working with your body.

Ultimately your consultant will be able to offer the best ‘pros and cons’ for you, good luck xx
