Avoiding weekend frozen embryo transfer in modified natural cycles: is it possible?

In this era of the freeze-all strategy, the prevalence of frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles is increasing rapidly. Although still quite often used, the hormone replacement therapy cycle to prepare a FET should now belong to the past, unless strictly necessary. This raises questions about possible flexible protocols for the preparation of an FET cycle in a (modified) natural cycle. In this viewpoint, an overview of the different options is discussed, stressing the importance of the corpus luteum.
