OK, so are they checking that what Shaylee had is not congenital and likely to reoccur?
I think you're right about the natural v's medicated FET. They want to keep their stats up so wouldn't do natural if it was not as reliable. I wanted medicated purely coz I had a cancelled IUI round due to by body not doing the right thing. I wanted to make sure we got to transfer, and not get cancelled before we get that far.
Will they get you to do ovulation sticks then time it in with that?
They are generous on their allowances with the tries, and as many FETs as you get embryos is great!
We're similar ages so I know what you mean about not having time to mess with. We are having SET because I don't want twins, but everyone feels differently about that.
Let me know how Thurs goes. Good luck.
Yes it checks for genetic problems like if we were not compatible with each other, both carried the same defect gene, hidden chromo problems although we have had a check for this but this check is more indepth. We should get the results this week, OH is calling today again...
Its a good job i wanted the FET otherwise i would not have much choice and im not really bothered about the non medicated FET since it will be quick (and im really impatient - my 10 day protocol last time was FAR too long
) and if it doesnt work then I can move onto a fresh cycle quite quickley since there were no drugs involved. I remember with my fresh cycle i kept calling them and saying everyone else was on Progesterone until the end of the 1st Tri and they took me off it after about 2 weeks BUT they knew what they were doing and explained all it will do is prolong the inevitable, if you are going to miscarry then its going to happen as soon as you come off Progesterone anyway... 12 days is long enough... and it was, it was a successful pregnancy (well until 20 weeks anyway) I trust they know what they are doing although they do my head in sometimes with informing you on things you need to know and they fail to tell you! If it wasnt for this forum then i think i would have cocked up the last fresh cycle
I am lucky as I have a 27 day cycle, always bang on time and I ovulate normally on CD 12-13. I always get a strong result on ebay cheapies and I can feel ovulation as well with a couple of sharp pains so I am confident enough to be able to detect OV quite precisely... i guess this is what they will ask me to do.
I have my pos and neg thoughts about putting two back... the clinic dont like it, they said because of my age i am putting myself under a lot of pressure bodywise, that twin pregnancies can cause all sorts of problems and some of them near fatal. I also worry as i see so many twin pregnancies go wrong, i.e. vanishing twin syndrome, one growing more than the other, miscarriages of one twin... I will be a little relieved if its one but twins is something that I have always been interested in. Now my daughter is coming up for 12 this month, i dont have a small child to look after and she can help me with some things and in the end babysit!
If i was starting out and having one baby and then possible another one within two years then I wouldnt want to have two put back in... This will be the last time i'm pregnant though as two children would complete our family (if its twins then its twins, ill take what i can) I also worry about the cost... my oldest is expensive now with school trips, labelled trainers and all that... hobbies... i dont want to end up bankrupt!
BUT there is a chance it wont work either, i dont want to have another FET after this one before i try another fresh cycle so if we put two back (we only have two snow babies on ice) then we will be able to start a fresh cycle is the worst comes to the worst and none of them stick!
So where are you up to hun with downregging? Have you nearly finished? When is your transfer and test date? Exciting stuff... hope it is super successful! xxx

BUT then i have read about 50/50 positive results on both medicated and non medicated so i am not too worried about that... they would not do natural cycle if it proved to not work as well as a medicated cycle surely? Oh well its not counted as one of our 3 tries so we are still entitled to another 2 IVF for free and as many FET's as we have frozen embies for. I am going to have both embies put back in purely because i dont care if its twins and at my age (38) i havent got a few years to mess around, i will probably be too old before they free tries run out!
