Good Luck Kittycat! Fingers crossed! Toes crossed!
Ghost...I talked to my clinic today. Doc even called me personally to let me know that they have been doing this protocol over the years off and on...and are finding no difference in the stats. My doc is one of the leading pioneers at the Cleveland Clinic and is pretty famous...so I do trust him quite a bit...was just a bit nervous about possibly being a guinea pig with my last chance...but apparantly I'm not. After googling...it seems that other clinics do this too with great results. I was also concerned since my periods are only 25 days between them...with (I think) means a short luteal phase...and he said it makes no difference in this protocol. So I feel better now...
So apparantly, if I start my period on March 17th...I will start taking 3 estrace pills, every day, all at once, to build up lining.
Ultrasound on March 26th (day 10, 11, 12) to check my lining to see when to start progesterone and tetracycline.
Transfer likely April 5th (5 day blast)...since the 4th is Easter.
Anyone else out there have a similar protocol?

Sounds like he knows his protocol better than you thought before. Glad to see you feeling better about it. Yes, I agree there are recent publications on natural cycle FET. The rates are...okay.
Best of luck to you.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
