Natural vs. medicated FET?

Question

My doctor just mentioned the possibility of doing a natural FET rather than medicated- since I’m terrified of the progesterone injections! Anyone have success this way? Any thoughts?

Answer

I did a natural FET last month and I’m almost 8 weeks. With the natural FET I still took clomid to ensure ovulation and I’m taking estrogen pills but no shots and no progesterone supplements, but could have asked for them if I wanted them. Good luck! It was a lot easier and cheaper too!

Answer

I’m really hoping to do a natural cycle. I have regular cycles and ovulate regularly- so it seems I should be a good candidate. I’m using an egg donor - so since I’m not doing all the other meds- I’d like to avoid the FET portion of meds as much as possible. I’m ok with taking the progesterone suppositories- they suck, but I can manage that.

Answer

I’m doing a natural FET in April. I have done two medicated FETs that both ended around 5 weeks because my body could not tolerate PIO. I’m hoping natural will be the answer for me.

Answer

I did natural FET but opted for progesterone even though they said it was not necessary. Taking it in pessary form. Not the nicest but completely worth it for peace of mind that I’ve done all I can. 6w6d today. Good luck 🤞🍀

Answer

I did a natural FET but used femera to ensure ovulation since I have pcos.  I still had to do the pio shots but I was able to wean off them way early (week 7 after seeing heartbeat). I firmly believe in natural FETs.  Also the pio shots are not that bad.
