Cancelled medicated FET. Suggested to try Stimulated FET - any success?

[Whatwillbewillbe_]

Has anyone done a Stimulated FET and had success ?

I’ve been suggested to try a stimulated FET with gonal f.

Although it wasn't a success because it was a BFN, the stimulated cycle produced my best lining as opposed to both medicated which was a disaster for me and natural which was good but just struggled to get to 7mm with it. I stimmed with 100iu and the lining thickened to over 8mm so definitely worth a try.

Thank you for your reply. I’m really sorry it wasn’t a successful transfer.

can I just ask what you stimmed with? And did they monitor your oestrogen and progesterone levels?

[Axel131 in reply to Whatwillbewillbe_]

Sure it was Pergoveris because that's what I'd used for my previous IVF cycles which yielded good results for me. No they didn't monitor hormone levels because oddly my clinic don't do bloods at all during any cycle/transfer.

I stimmed with gonal f for lining purposes for my last two transfers.

Both transfers we got positive tests but the first one ended in a chemical pregnancy and the second a silent miscarriage at 7 weeks.

My lining was the best it’s ever been but I did get a lot of follicle growth too. I had to force ovulation with ovitrelle and I was crippled with pain. That was with 150iu so for the second FET we dropped it to 75iu and I was much more comfortable xx

Thank you very much for your reply. I am so sorry they didn’t end up with successful pregnancies. Were these PGTA embryos? Did they figure out why both ended in a miscarriage?

They have suggested I do 75iu gonal f and then trigger with ovitrelle.

Thank you xx nope they weren’t pgt tested. I wanted to do it but my husband wasn’t keen.

I declined a D&C for the miscarriage and just opted for medical management. If i’d have had a D&C they could have tested the tissue but the procedure can destroy your lining and mine is already paper thin.

The consultant thinks it was just to a chromosomal abnormality but we will never know. So our subsequent cycle we did do pgta x

Thank you! I know the PGTA debate is a tough one!

hello! Yes I had a stimulated FET and that was the one that worked for me! I can’t do a fully natural one due to irregular cycles etc but my body preferred a stim one to a fully medicated one as it was more natural and better for my progesterone levels too.

Good luck!

Amazing! Thank you for your reply! Would you mind sharing a bit more about what meds you were on for this cycle? So happy it worked for you.

[Wishinandahopin]

Sure! for the stimulation I was on Menopur. Then they did a trigger shot (I can’t remember the name) and then I was on Cyclogest progesterone.
