How can I improve implantation after frozen embryo transfer?
Research suggests that a low dose of aspirin can improve your implantation and pregnancy outcomes. For example, one small study of 60 women found that aspirin therapy led to better outcomes for those who had a frozen‐thawed embryo transfer (FET).
How long does it take for Progynova to absorb?
The addition of a progestogen greatly reduces the oestrogen-induced risk of endometrial hyperplasia in non-hysterectomised women. After oral administration estradiol valerate is quickly and completely absorbed. Already after 0.5 – 3 hours peak plasma levels of estradiol, the active drug substance, are measured.

How is the endometrium prepared in medicated FET protocol?
In a medicated FET protocol, the endometrium is first prepared using estradiol (E2) which causes the cells of the endometrium to proliferate. Estradiol also prevents further follicles from growing because it blocks GnRH and prevents FSH/LH from being produced.
What is a modified natural cycle FET?
A modified natural cycle FET is similar to a true natural cycle except hCG is used to trigger ovulation once the leading follicle reaches 16-20 mm. The hCG trigger also causes progesterone levels to rise during the luteal phase, so this acts to some degree as luteal phase support.
