Natural or medicated FET

I would really appreciate any views/experience of natural vs medicated fet

I have pcos but do ovulate (although not every month) and I also react badly to medications so want to do a natural fet but feeling anxious as to whether it's the right choice

I was meant to start HRT to medicated fet tomorrow but called my clinic who said it's fine to try a natural cycle but they didn't seem too positive...... Any words of wisdom ?! I feel a bit lost/confused

i am still in the research stages. I know natural is less successful due to less eggs but i feel it is much safe for all involved so will definitely be starting with that. i wouldnt totally rule out medicated further down the line if i needed it but i am much much more comfortable with natural.

I believe unless clinics really do natural a lot they would rather not do it as it will alter thier success rates which in turn alters thier profits. The ones who do it a lot tend to be more specialist at it, more pro doing it and better success rates.

Trying natural wont do you any harm at all if you want to try it but maybe worth trying it with the right clinic.

Good luck
