It was a really simple thing, was a bit uncomfortable but only took a few minutes. The Dr just basically scrapes a small section of your lining (mine was done in the month prior) and then after you get your period when the lining grows back is when you are supposed to have the transfer. The small scraping is supposed to release some enzymes which make the endometrium grow back better. It didn't work for us, but then we were kind of clutching at straws anyway because our problem was really an embryo quality problem, not a lining issue. It's an easy thing to try and no risks so worth discussing with your Dr anyway. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125739089876756856.post-76341224654724183802012-12-06T09:08:19.445-08:002012-12-06T09:08:19.445-08:00A girl in my RESOLVE group had it done a few weeks...A girl in my RESOLVE group had it done a few weeks before her frozen transfer.

I'm not sure it's the same thing, but my RE gave me an endometrial biopsy in the cycle preceding my first IVF with the rationale that slight trauma to the lining makes it grow back better and stickier for the embryo to implant. I don't remember exactly when but it was done somewhere between stopping BCPs and starting stims...I was still on Lupron at the time. Anyway, I don't know if it would have worked since we were converted to IUI but it really wasn't that bad. I took an Advil an hour or two before, and it was basically just like an IUI, since they insert a catheter to do a little quick suctioning of a few spots. If you Google it you will scare the crap out of yourself with people talking about how it was the worst pain they've ever felt, but for me it really was nothing.

It makes a lot more sense to me to do it then, rather than the month prior. What would that do? You just shed that lining anyway.

But again, it's probably a very small chance. Most are fine after D&Cs.Duckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541495487673604312noreply@blogger.com
