ERA (pre receptive) can you still conceive naturally?

[Catlady12345]

Hi ladies,

Hope you’re all ok? I had an ERA in December which showed I needed an extra 12 hours progesterone for a FET.

I just wondered whether this impacts falling pregnant naturally? (We’ve been trying 4 years so I’m not holding out any hope it would happen) but just wondered really if this could affect things?

Currently having a break from IVF until later this year when we will do our 2nd cycle (5th transfer).

Many thanks

Xx

Hi Catlady. if it is possible to get prenant naturally, and you do, then speak with your GP/clinic re some progesterone support to help you. Good luck! Diane

Hi lovely, as far as I'm aware the ERA doesn't have any bearing on getting pregnant naturally - as it's only used for a medicated cycle when your cycle is completely controlled. If you are trying naturally then your body would be in synch with ovulation / the beginning of progesterone production. So I think the answer is no, it won't impact falling pregnant naturally xx
