F/U appt today, new info on my Frozen Embryos, and Question

I had a f/u appt today with doc after IVF ER. I asked my RE to go over the lab notes of the frozen embryos and she said that their notes included "abnormal morphology" of my eggs. She said that it is rare and not sure why my eggs had an abnormal morphology to them since I've had a successful pregnancy before and I am 35 years of age. Oh well, not going to read too much into it as too much info makes me nut-so! LOL.

Three eggs frozen: one 8 cell grade A, and two 8 cell grade B embryos.

Question . . . does anyone know how to naturally increase your endometrium lining for successful transfer? I plan on doing a Natural FET, and do not want to use any drugs if I don't have to.

Thanks!

    Pom juice, and baby aspirin if you need it. I've been doing daily baby aspirin since my second IVF back in Jan, I think it makes a difference? Who knows. The pom juice is supposed to help build up your lining.

    Supposedly the bromelain can help with implantation, but you're only supposed to take it for a certain amount of days in a natural cycle, I wouldn't even want to mess around with it during a FET, because it's known to cause a lot of cramping, which is obviously bad.
