This def is a great thread... it's amazing how all FSs seem to do such different things. We started on our IVF roller coaster at the beginning of 2006. We've had an unsuccessfull IUI, fresh transfer & 2 frozen transfers... all of which was done at a clinic in Canberra. I have had numerous tests, but all showing no abnormalities. We have had quite a big break, but after recently moving to Adelaide, decided we were feeling ready to give it another go so have joined up with a clinic here. Lucky enough to have 5 frozen embies left, they 'couriered' those over last week... successfully thank goodness! Anyway, this new clinic said that because I have already had a number of unsuccessful transfers, I should have an "Endometrial boipsy to check for immuno response of my endometrium". It was very similar to a pap smear so pretty simple in the scheme of things. I am really confused and frustrated as to why this test wasn't done soooooo much earlier (not like they haven't been 'up there' a million times already!).

Anyway, the results have come back positive to some abnormalities, which thankfully can be treated with some antibiotics & steriods (all in tablet form) and can be done at the same time as going through a natural frozen transfer cycle.

As written by some of you who posted before me, why not do all these types of tests straight up, that way treatment (if possible) can occur and hopefully the drawn out & emotional processes we are all going through can be possibly made much shorter.

In saying that I am now glad that there is actually something identified so that we can now do what is hopefully needed to fix it and hopefully get a positive result in a few weeks time.

Sorry about that... didn't mean to write a book, just started writing and kept going & going. Not sure if this is the same test as already mentioned, but if not, I hope I have helped in some way.

Good luck to you all!!!
