Can I do an FET in the cycle immediately following an ERA/Hysteroscopy procedure

I'm going in for an ERA this cycle and will also be having a sedated Hysteroscopy (to have a look around and remove any polyps or thickened lining if need be) at the same time.

Will I be able to have an FET the following cycle after the above? Or do I need to take a few months off??

Hi. Once you’ve had a natural cycle you can go ahead. Good luck! Diane

Hi - I'm due to have one in about 10 days time and plan to have another FET in the next cycle afterwards. Similar to having endometrial scratch and then FET in the next cycle. I've been told there's no reason not to unless something significant shows up on hysteroscopy that needs attention.

Best of luck with it....

Hey thanks for replying. Are you having both an ERA and a Hysteroscopy done at the same time?

When in your cycle are you having the procedure done?

I'm just worried that the ERA is meant to be done 5 days after ovulation when lining is thickest and I'd heard the Hysteroscopy should be done just after period when lining is thinnest so they can "see" more...so how can they be done together?? Argh I stress myself out

Hi, just wondering how you are doing? Did you get af yet? In supposed to get it but it's really light. Was spotting lightly after ERA then it stopped and then the spotting was slightly heavier yesterday and today but only when I wipe. It's really strange and I can't work out of is af or remnants of the ERA! I'm meant to be going in for fet cycle on day 2 of cycle but struggling to identify day 2! Is this normal?

Sorry only replying now...went away for few days before I started my next round of prep meds which started yesterday! Here we go again!!! I good spotting for 4 or 5 days after hysteroscopy....but I stayed on pill for 5 days afterwards and then after I stopped I got AF 3 days later. It was different to the spotting...I had period cramps and bleed into pad...not just while wiping.....hope this wasn't too late to be helpful!! X
