Hellol!
Hope you're snuggled up on the couch letting those 3 embies snuggle on in! Just wanted to "pick your brain!" Sorry for the long ramble......
A quick background...Diagnosed with MFI- morph issues. We did 1 fresh cycle and one frozen..our 2nd (FET) was successful which has given us our dear son. I feel that the reason the FET worked was because I was on way less meds. I feel like my body was too "doped up" during the fresh cycle and couldn't "accept" the embies like it should.
Okay...fast forward......we got a surprise BFP in December only to end in a missed M/C mid January. I am currently waiting for AF to see what we will do next. We were planning on doing a FET in the spring, but since the surprise, I am even more confused.
My question to you--what made you choose to do the unmedicated FET? I am really thinking this could be a great option for us. What are the pros and cons that you have experienced so far?
I am soooo pulling for you! Can't wait to see your BFP post Thanks so much for reading!!!
Re: Happycouple- question for you!
Hi There!
Sorry to hear about your m/c last year
This journey is certainly rough for all of us at times!
There are two reasons i chose an unmedicated cycle. We wanted to continue another cycle right away, but without having to jump right back into taking a bunch of meds again as this was our 4th cycle in 10 months. The natural FET allowed us to do that.
The pros are that i was a million times less stressed by not being on meds....it was almost surreal that I had a transfer yesterday as there was no real 'build up' if that makses sense. It is also a much faster process depending on how long your natural period cycle is. The cons to me are that i am slightly more paranoid about NOT being on meds for progesterone support etc. That I am leaving up to my own body to do things naturally. Another con is that there is a chance your cycle can get cancelled because ovulation does not occur or things dont happen properly.
With that said we will see how things go....its still hard for me to believe I have embies in me already. The quality of those embies were just ok so i am trying to not get my hopes up too much. It would be aawesome if this really worked for us!
Good luck to you!!!!!
