Monash IVF and natural FET

[Miss.B]

Hello ladies,

I'm just wondering if any of you are doing or have done a natural FET with Monash IVF and if you had any support with it? I swear I had to take crinone with my FET in 2009 but I can't be 100% sure. My IVF nurse says I didn't have it in that cycle and their policy is no pg support with FETs. Is that right? I've just had a natural FET and I'm not taking anything.

we don't have any progesterone support on natural FET's at MIVF.... I'm sure it's okay - they wouldn't do anything to jeopardize the success rates - it's to their advantage to make it work for you xox

Been thinking about you all week, just never remembered to message you at an appropriate time of the day!! Hope you are feeling okay and not going too crazy....

Thanks lovely, I just hope all was well ie the lining thickness, all the other levels etc. I've read somewhere that some clinics make you come in to check your lining, measure your dominant follie to determine exactly when the FET should take place.

I must admit they did scan and find out the time I ws ovulating before they put it in, but surely they would do it in a way at would make it work??

All my FETs have been with MIVF. All natural and all with progesterone support.

Janie, thanks hun. That's the thing, they didn't check my lining. The only time they checked it was in the previous cancelled cycle the previous month, while I was taking progynova, which didn't work so the cycle got cancelled as I still produced a follicle. During that time they did both BT and the lining check. In this current FET, all I had was a BT one Thursday, then one on Friday and then they told me the day to come in for my FET.

Myturn, surely they wouldn't have put the embie in if the conditions weren't ideal?

N2L, I guess all clinics do thing differently. I'm assuming my progesterone was OK according to my 2 BT?

I think for my piece of mind, I will speak with my nurse on Monday...Thanks again ladies.

Hi Miss B I wasn't meant to have any support with my natural FET at MIVF, but my lining was borderline so I was on one pessarie a day. Once my pregnancy was confirmed and all levels checked they stopped my cold turkey. So I only had it for TWW and then it was only because my lining was not quite where they wanted it.

Good luck lovely!

Can I add my bit? My bfp was natural the month after our failed ivf cycle. I self medicated in the tww with left over crinone from our ivf cycle. When I got my bfp I called my fs who said that my body should make it's own if viable pregnancy etc etc. I lost it and demanded it. (it wasnt pretty) He gave me pessaries. I stayed on these til I slowly weaned off them at 13 weeks.
Sometimes I think as we get older that our bodies need some help.
Goodluck x

Saffy, I'm thinking that maybe I have always had very regular cycles I don't need progesterone? I have had 3 fresh transfers, all with crinone (clinic policy) and one other FET apart from this one with no support whatsoever. Dunno, I might ask what my progesterone was prior to transfer, I'm sure if it was low they would have given me the pessaries.

Joeve, I honestly entertained the idea of self medicating myself with the left over box of crinone in the cupboard! Decided not to, the more I think about it the more I remember that I didn't have any support with my FET in 2009. I went through my notes and usually I write down what I am taking, but there was no mention of anything.

Thanks for your replies ladies!

Myturn, thanks hun. I know you're right, they wouldn't put an embryo in if it wasn't ideal in there...
