Endo scratch with not so good eggs

[Veekay80]

Hiya

Has anyone had a endo scratch with not so good quality transfers and had a positive result?

I’ve heard positive stories about the scratch itself but I can’t see anything about how good the eggs have to be.

My last ivf failed I did a transfer on day 3 with 2 eggs, they told me they were slow in developing, think one had 4 cells and the other 7, they put them back to see if they might develop quicker inside but the ivf failed. I’m wondering if the scratch is worth it if I again don’t get good eggs or if the scratch maybe helps it?

Thanks

This is something I want to know as well as I’ve done a lot of reading about the scratch and the embryo glue. We just want to give everything a go don’t we xx

I think the scratch helps implantation so I’m not sure.. you could try it with a “What have I got to lose?” approach xx

Hey Veekay, I'm not sure if it works better on embryos of different qualities as such. I had a long conversation with an embryologist a while ago and he said although they prefer to see a 5 day blastocyst they can't honesty say that it will take and that he'd seen pregnancy from far lesser quality of embryos and not to get too hung up on gradings. What I would say is the theory behind the scratch working is that it encourages new fresh, blood rich endometrial tissue to grow which embryos can easily burrow into/implant hence increasing your chances. Hard to know what to do but for me if it increases chances then I'll take it, I dont want to look back and think damn, wish I'd tried that. Best of luck with what you decide!!xx
