Like Kim said, have they given you any insight?

Have they discussed anything connected to you also having endometrial scratching? It seems to work for some people....good luck x

I had the scratch on this cycle still no luck x

I'm sorry. It is really tough. What has you dr said to you as part of the review? After our 3rd attempt, it was suggested to change some aspects which after much thought, we did.

Sorry to hear that. I know of many people who have had a positive result after endometrial scratch. Maybe it's worth a go if you've not already tried it. Otherwise have you thought of surrogacy? Best of luck whatever you decide x

Hi again just quickly I've just had a thought have you had your embryos Phd tested it's where they make sure that your embryos have 24 chromasons not sure that's the right way of spelling it but I heard it at my seminar that they can have a perfect embryo that looks perfect but when they had tested them 2 out of the three embryos where abnormal just an idea sweetie it cost a bit more but you never know if you haven't had it then it could help xxx

Have you tried Chinese natural remedies? We're trying this now and they believe they can get the weaknesses in the womb stronger BEFORE trying ivf. Sometimes no matter what you try with NHS - scratch, steroids, Clomid, you get the same result - like us. But if the body is week initially then getting it stronger with Chinese herbs, massage, acupuncture is worth a try perhaps? They are Chinese doctors dotted about all over in most large towns, cities.
