Natural (ish) cycle for next FET

Had my WTF appointment Thursday. Mr Dr shrugged shoulders, said he can not think of other drugs to try. One thing that could be a problem is my lining getting too thick and could be getting hyperplasia. The plan for my last embryo and last FET is a natural (ish)cycle with no suppression, no oestrogen tablets, just prednisolone, intralipids and PIO. I am to pee on a stick, call when I have a LH surge and have a scan. If my lining is thick enough I shall have a transfer. If not thick enough, my embryo will not be thawed and we will do a medicated cycle at a later date. I shall also be doing accupuncture. A couple of my friends from my clinic have given me a number of a accupuncture guy who specialises in fertility issues. Both of them fell pregnant when doing IVF and having accupuncture with him. Fingers crossed he will help me! It's worth a try, not got anything to lose, other than money!!

Back from a short holiday

I have just got back from the Forest of Dean. DH, the dogs and I went on a short little self catering holiday. Was great to get away and not think about 'stuff'. It certainly has helped a little, but it was not long enough. I was just starting to relax and then it was time to come home. I am now home and nothing has changed. I am still depressed, still have no baby and still hate my job. Now how do I change all of this and make myself happy....? That is the million pound question.... Million pounds would be a start I guess. Must buy a lottery ticket!

Not sure where I am at

One minute I am feeling like I will be ready to move on to our next step if our next FET fails (adoption), other times the thought of never being pregnant makes me cry. I tend not to think about it, pretend that all is fine, brush everything under the carpet. I am so good at ignoring things and pretending all is fine. Such a great, but terrible way of dealing with things. We have our WTF appointment with my Dr 21st June. It will be pointless. He will say his usual 'its just bad luck' and I will shrug my shoulders and say how I always have bad luck. One thing I am going to ask is if there is anything at all I can do, take, inject myself with etc to help implantation. I already know the answer is 'No', but I need to ask anyway. Have any of you had an endometrium scrape before IVF? It is meant to cause a rough patch in your lining and help implantation? Is there any other drugs I should request. Here is the list of my last FET and my next FET will be the same: Suprecur (lupron), progynova tabs (oestrogen), asprin, intralipids, 10mg Prednisolone, pregnacare multivit, prontogest injections (progesterone), 125mcg thyroxine.
