Endo Scratch

[Martinax]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had an endo scratch and if it was worth doing it?

My last transfer in April ended up in a chemical pregnancy and we had our embryos tested and only one was good enough to be froze . I m very keen to max out my chances . Thank you xxx

I had one with our first round!! I’m not sure how it helps but ours sadly ended in a chemical pregnancy too xx

Thanks... just trying to look at everything... I also had an ERA test and found out that I was receptive ...

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Martinax]

I think they are supposed to be quite effective! That and embryo glue but we never got offered that!! What an era??? Xx

It stands for endometrial receptivity test . Here is a link blog.scrcivf.com/what-is-er..... . Mine has been a long journey

We asked our daughters consultant about a scratch and she didn’t recommend it at all so we just took her advice and didn’t have it. We got a BFP xx

Thanks ... we really don't know what to do .something we feel they just trying to sell everything they can possibly sell

[Gillyc1 in reply to Martinax]

They also use embryo glue as standard, something we never knew xx

After 2 failed cycles my consultant recommended it. After reading about it I thought it makes logical sense to help with implantation, bringing more blood to the area. I had 3rd round with none fertilised, so a wasted scratch, but 4th round successful and now 9 wks. It's a relatively cheap (compared with some extras) and easy procedure, so I would definitely choose it again x

Congratulations! I hope everything goes fine

I had it - it is my first round.

It is reasonable in the clinic I went - very quick and a little bit of pain but not so bad.

Felt like I had read enough to be convinced it was worth a go.

I don't think we have been successful this round - but I am glad I got it done, just in case.

Thanks. Hopefully it was a success.. keep me posted

I think it might be worth it my daughter had it and her transfer was successful x

I would defo say it's worth a shot! It's not pleasant but over quickly and if it even gives you a slightly increased chance then go for it!xx

Don’t mean to sound thick, but out of interest, what’s a chemical pregnancy? X

[Hidden in reply to Jmaw]

A chemical pregnancy is a very early pregnancy loss typically when the second implantation happens just after the positive pregnancy test so between 4-5 weeks. A very common time to lose a pregnancy. I had one. xoxo

Oh right I see thanks jess x

In my experience yes. I didn’t have it in my first 3 attempt so which were unsuccessful but did in my 4th and 5th. Both were successful and I have 3 boys.

Good luck x
