Natural FET advice/experience

So, we are currently going through the heartache of another chemical pregnancy. Our 3rd one and 6th failure in total.
we have a 4 year old from a frozen embryo transfer in 2019.
we are now onto a new batch of embryos.

I've only ever done medicated cycles and whilst it worked for my daughter, I am wondering whether I should try a non medicated cycle as I haven't tried this yet.
we have MFI and aware of low count and high dna frag. We had zymot with this cycle to help with that.

i don't want to go down the route on EMMA/ALICE/ERA etc as it's just another financial cost.
do we just keep going and going until one sticks!?

any experiences or advice would be much appreciated!

I always have a modified natural. My lining doesn't respond to estrogen when I take it, makes lining even thinner. They finally figured out I need to just take Letrozole for 5 days, to make my body release 2 eggs. However I am yet to have a BFP. Had my 5th FET today.

For me, less medication the better, I don't like being pumped with unnecessary drugs. I think medicated cycles are better if you do not have a regular cycle, as they need to monitor you more. I was always bang on 28/29 days, so just need a day 10 scan and then FET booked.

Wishing you the best of luck for your FET today, hoping it's a sticky one! 🤞🏻

thanks for your reply. Yeah am pretty regular every 30 days so would say this would be the next thing to try. I am also so fed up taking all this medication! X

@CherryBerryBoo I found when I took the tablets to control my cycle, I was spotting a lot and my period, was only brown, never red. Was so frustrating.

I did one medicated FET which made me feel awful. I was all over the place, up, down, out of sorts. I felt out of control and skittish, heart palpitations, nervous all the time, the hormones just didn’t agree with me. The whole time I kept telling myself it’s all worth it etc but sadly it didn’t work.
The next FET was a natural one, I just had one injection I think, to force ovulation and I felt normal. It was empowering, I felt in control and not over emotional. Luckily that time it worked and I’m now 9 weeks pregnant. It could’ve just been coincidence, it could’ve been that I wasn’t as stressed this time, I don’t know. But if I ever do it again I’d definitely do natural. Best of luck 🤞🏻🍀
