Ever heard of RE reshaping uterus?

[B]

Good morning everyone,

I just went through my 1st IVF cycle with what everyone thought was great success. I had 26 eggs, 21 fertilized, transfered 2 day 5 beautiful blasts and froze 9 that were equally as nice. Transfer went smooth and 2ww was fine. All meds taken right, 3 days of post xfr bed rest, etc., etc., etc. Anyhow, I had my pg test on Saturday the 19th and it was negative. The doc told DH that he was going to focus on my endometrium and the shaping of my uterus for our FET cycle. Since I was stimming rather slow and they increased my meds, he didn't manipulate my uterus for fear of damaging the follies that were growing. He believes our success with our FET will be great because he knows the area to concentrate on in this next cycle. which would be at the end of May.

Has anyone ever heard of this? I totally trust this doctor and know that pg on 1st IVF is difficult. I also wonder if anyone has any advice on how to better prepare your endometrium lining. I am 34, healthy, exercise a lot, eat lots of fruit, veggies and protein, I don't smoke and don't drink excessively (well, Saturday night maybe!), so any input would be appreciated. I also take folic acid. During my cycle I was on a typical med rotation and when the xfr took place, I was on PIO shots, estrace, vivelle dot patches and prometrium.

Thank you so much!

Brandi,

I'm not sure if this is your case or not but I have endometrium issues which has resulted in two BFN's....

My lining has been an issue from day one. You name it, I've tried it. What seems to work for me is estrogen taken orally and vaginally along with Viagra suppositiories..
During my cycle, in addition to the estrogen and Viagra, I maintain a very high protein diet and go for acupuncture once a week. All contributors have made quite the difference for me.

For my third IVF I did all the above which resulted in a BFP!!!
Though it ended in a miscarriage, it had nothing to do with my lining. It was a chromosome abnormality.

I'm currently waiting for my BETA results for my 4th IVF cycle. We did the same things as last round which gave me my best lining yet.

In addition to all the above, is maybe trying Assisted Hatching (if you haven't already) for your next cycle. It's extremely helpful for implantation.

Hope some of these suggestions work for you!

Best of luck with your next cycle!!
