[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. After my first failed FET I asked about the endo scratching and RE said that he wouldn't consider me an "implantation failure" at that point. Well now we're at my second failed FET and I will press again.

Also, I am worried about scar tissue like some others posted. I have had 3 abdominal sugeries (laparoscopy, appendectomy and a c-section for my first child.) Each time during transfer the RE can see my scar from my c-section but they get the catheter in no problem and I have asked twice if that could be an issue. "Nope" was always the answer I was told.

PP, how did they treat your scar tissue? Did you have another surgery to have it removed? [/quote]

I'm PP.  My scar tissue was removed during a hysteroscopy under anesthesia with microscissors (performed by Dr. Robinson at GW).

I will say that I had three transfers post D&C, and each time they were able to get the catheter in...though doing so was typically very painful.  It wasn't until I had a diagnostic hysteroscopy (this was after a clear HSG), that they found the scar tissue that in my case was covering my cervix.  There was enough of an opening to get the catheter in, but it might have been interfering with placement during the transfer.

Uterine scarring can be a very insidious contributor to IF, and given your history I would definitely seek out the opinion of someone who might investigate further.  I obviously had luck at GW, though I've read on this forum that most of the better people are out of state (NY, I think).  You might start with GW, but with so many surgeries (and an obvious scar already), you might be a case where it's really worth seeking out of state help.[/quote]
