Infertility

Trial transfer, sonohystogram, endometrial scoring

IVF journey begins today, we decided on a May retrieval. So our first steps are a bunch of blood tests and then I have to start estradiol and do the tests mentioned in the title. Anyone have any experience with these? Do they hurt?
thanks
Me & DH - 41, DH has a cyst blocking his tubes, I'm just old.
IVF #1 scheduled May 2016 - 375/525 follistim, 75 menopur - cancelled cycle Day 6
IVF #2 scheduled July 2016 - new protocol, switcharoo...IUI June 2016 - BFN
IVF#3 scheduled August 2016 - estrogen & testosterone primed for 3 wks - ganirelix 7 days leading up to stim - 500 follistim, 75 menopur, 150 clomid , no follicle growth on day 6, stopped injectibles. Scanned day 9 just to check, some growth, 3 days 200 mg clomid, day 12 more growth, 100 follistim, 75 menopur, start ganirelix on day 13, ER = 0 eggs, ovulated to soon ( :( )
IVF#4 scheduled Sept 2016 - Microdose Flare protocol, cancelled stim day 6 converted to IUI (one dominant follicle)  :(  IUI cancelled ovulated too soon again. Taking a mental health break.
IVF#5 December 2016 - New protocol, same results. My adventure is over.


Re: Trial transfer, sonohystogram, endometrial scoring

  • I literally just did all 3 of these (well instead of endometrial scoring, did endometrial biopsy) about a month ago. 
    I was put to sleep for the procedures because of issues in the past with difficult transfers etc. 
    In theory the trial transfer shouldn't be bad at all. I've had it awake before and it was really bad because I have anatomical abnormal shape or however you wanna describe it... but that's not the norm.
    The sonohystogram is apparently uncomfortable (I was asleep so not sure personally). 
    But the endometrial scoring can be a little painful. It's different for each individual and you'll hear a mix.
