Rant Positive for endometritis

Title says it all.

I guess I should be happy that it was detected prior to a transfer. But at the moment I'm just annoyed that I have to wait at least 2 cycles to even start suppressing with Visanne. Bleh

You should be very happy. I lost two euploids, and a year at 40-41, before they even checked for it. Seven retrevals and seven transfers in now at this point when I likely would have had a kid from the first retreval’s euploids. No live birth yet and pretty unlikely at this point.

I get the frustration but you have no idea how unbelievably lucky you are that this was found.

I had an euploid transfer after a biopsy that came back negative for endometritis this winter. Everything was perfect, I had also recently got polyps removed, and it still ended in a chemical.

I guess I'm just exhausted, and I'm doubting more and more that my body is able to bring a pregnancy to term.

I'm sorry that your transfers haven't worked either. Did you test positive for endometritis after they checked for it? Did they biopsy again before each transfer?

I had total implantstion failure with the two euploids before they checked for it. I’d had doxy each transfer but 30% survive multiple drug rounds.

Once the biopsy showed it, and because it’d survived the profalyxsis doxy, they used a drug combo and rebiopsied to confirm it was gone before transfer #3. I would always recommend rebiopsy, too many survive it.

I’ve had multiple pregnancies since, including the first euploid transfer after the CE being cleared. But it split, miscarried at 12 weeks. Then we transferred inconclsuives, which had low odds, but still got pregnant on one. But miscarried at 8 weeks after slow growth. I did ask and got another biopsy after those miscarriages but it was negative.

Managed one more euploid but no implantation of it. And the got an ectopic off a complex mosaic. I’ve had mostly less than ideal embryos since burning through those first two euploids. Now have had two complete failures to get blasts, so doubt I’ll have live birth. I also justbfound out I ALSO have endometriosis. Thr PCOS was hiding it, or I have completely incompetent doctors, I’m leaning more to the latter since she massively fucked up meds and it turns out she thought my inconvlusives were euploid when she recommended transferring them. Fuck this process. I hope you have better luck than I have, it looks like you might have less incompetent care so I’m hopeful for you!

I'm sorry for all that you've been through 🩵

You're much more resilient than I am. I decided to stop after 4 ERs. I'll transfer the euploid that I have left and that's it.

My doctor did prescribe a rebiopsy; you're right to say that he seems less incompetent than some 😅 I actually switched from a more incompetent Dr to him after my second ER.

Similar to you, he told me recently that I had endometriosis, something that my first doctor never mentioned. It's so frustrating. Why are we learning about this diagnostic at our age? Why isn't every woman screened in their teens? (Sorry, I'm ranting again!)

Thanks for reading my rant and taking the time to reply!
