Natural FET cycle in July . Any advice or tips x

[Olivia1980xxx]

I went through 3 fresh cycles.

From my second one I have a 25 month old baby girl and I being left with one frostie.

My last 3rd cycle was this feb but didn’t work and this time we been left with 3 frostie.

We had appointment 2day to discuss what best froze cycle is for me ...and going through my “record” they decided for natural one.

I had a scan ...all looking good I did ovulate and my lining was 8.4. No cyst 👍

My period change from being every 28 day to every 32 days which I should have on 9 July.

I bought ovulations tests and now waiting for my bleeding.

We ask and we was told that they can mix embryos from different cycles so we said that I want to have 2 embryos put back in ....one from the cycle I had my baby and one from 3rd cycle.

Please ladies did u had any success from natural cycle? I will be very grateful for tips how u prepared your self before and is anything that u done different?!

For all advice and tips I will be very grateful xx

Hi Olivia

Sorry can't offer any advice, I'm interested in any advice offered as we will be doing our first FET after our holiday and the clinic has recommended a natural. I'm a bit nervous as all our 3 attempts have been fresh so no idea what to expect xx

I had only fresh cycles so I knew what to “expect “. This will be my first frozen cycle and I remember before we visited clinic last year having at that time only one embryo I said to do medicated because nature like “to play tricks”☺️ but after checking my AMH level being 5.7 we went through 3rd fresh cycle in feb. From that we managed to have another 3 frostie.

I have to say that my first two cycles I was feeling ok and everything went us plan...just that last one was the worst.

I felt that my body responds differently for the drugs and I was always bloated and stomach pain and I develop cyst on my left ovary which they drain so I can move on with injections.

Even after EC I was in pain for few days ...

I don’t know hun what I can say us I need my self to feel positive that maybe is better natural then go through “drugs”..specially knowing my body change since I had a baby and I’m 39 so fingers crossed xx

Hi Olivia,

Well all I can say is that I have had one fresh cycle and one natural FET and they both worked (now 21 weeks pregnant with FET). They didn't even check my lining beforehand with the FET - I didn't have a single scan, only blood tests to find the surge of ovulation. Both times I only had one embryo transfered (I just turned 35 when I became pregnant the first time and now I'm 38) and I haven't changed anything since the first pregnancy. I would say just eat reasonably healthy, avoid drinking and smoking and anything excessive....do something that makes you feel good. Fingers crossed that you're lucky this time around! And since you have already been succesful before I'm sure it can work for you again.

Massive congratulations hun .

My baby girl is 25 months old so we trying to give her sibling.

Do u know what u having?

We had appointment on this Wednesday and on first day of my period we need to phone them and day 10 we will have first scan and they will tell me when to start with ovulation test. They say if I’m gonna have that peak day and my lining is anything above 8 we will have transfer on day 5 or 6 what I remember.

Is bit weird that there r not drugs involved ☺️ and we will have 2 embryos transferred. The only think I need to do is cut down my coffees ☺️ . Thank u hun for reply xx

Thank you!

Yes, we are having another babygirl

It's funny how they do it different, but as long as it works that's the main thing, no? And at the end of the day there are no guarantees even in the best circumstances.

I found it great that there's no drugs involved this time. In fact they didn't affect me much in the fresh cycle, but I like the fact that they're not needed. And I wouldn't have been able to try again at the moment unless it's without meds because I'm still breastfeeding, so it was myself who asked for it and they said it was fine.

Yes, I love my coffee too, I mostly just have a cup or two in the morning though, so it's not too bad, and I have switched back to decaf most of the time also. But personally I don't think that's what makes it or breaks it....it's just the thought of guilt if you're not succesful that you want to avoid, I think. And that's important too.

That amazing hun two girls 🥰

Wow u still breastfeeding...I only breastfeed my baby girl till 4 months .

Last November when we went for first consultation the first thing they ask me if Im still breastfeeding that is best if I don’t at least 3 months before cycle.

I try drink decaf but doesn’t taste the same so I think I need to cut down completely.

My body come back to normal after my failure cycle just my period change from being every 28 days to 32 .

I told my hubby that I will not go through fresh cycle again because the last one was longer and painful and I didn’t felt right.

How many frozen embryos u still have left hun ?xx
