Hi everyone

I was just wondering if anyone has had (or knows if you can have) back to back medicated FET's? As in, be taking the progesterone pessaries and estrogen tablets during the TWW, get the BFN/AF then go straight for baseline scan and get back on the estrogen tablets then the progesterone agin shortly after in build up to the next FET? Just writing this makes me think its a no Hmm I'd really appreciate any advice on this! Thank you Smile xx

You can, I had two frozen embryos and was meant to have back-to-back medicated cycles - but I opted for a natural cycle after the first failed transfer, because I was tired of the drugs and didn't like how it felt to have my cycle 'taken over'. And since it's my last frozen embryo and I'm likely headed for another retrieval when/if it fails, I want to give my body a break.

But if not for me making that choice, my clinic would have given me back-to-back medicated cycles. Not because I necessarily need it, but just because it's easier for them to schedule (and success rates for medicated/natural are similar as long as you ovulate naturally).
