I had my cycle review yesterday and they recommended that I utilize the co-culture for next cycle. Apparently, it is pretty new test that they can do that can help determine "sticking"ability.  I had never heard about it so I was just curious.  They didn't tell me I have sticking issues and I will definitely follow up to get more info.
