Hi Everyone,

 

I am currently at the clinic at the Royal Alex and trying to decide where to go once the clinic closes at the end of this month. I have embryos left and just need to do transfers.

 

I am dealing mainly with MFI, but I have now had 2 failed transfers with 4AA PGS normal embryos. I spoke with someone at PCRM and they do not do ERAs or intralipids, but will do endometrial scratches. 

 

Has anyone here dealt with PCRM for RPL and had success? 

 

My other option is to continue treatment in Calgary.

 

Thanks.

Hi there,

 

I'm not sure who you spoke with at PCRM but am currently in my mock cycle for an ERA test!?!? I know for a fact they do them as I'm doing one next month! I was told they do not do endo scratches and that doing an ERA is like an endo scratch in itself. I'm currently with Dr Ahn. May I ask who your Dr is because I was given false info from another Dr about tests the clinic does and does not do...very frustrating!!

 

Anyways....so far my overall experience with PCRM has been positive,  but I did go through IVF in Calgary 3 years ago and was pregnant after the first IVF round.

 

The best of luck to you!!

Thanks for your reply! And sorry it took so long for me to reply.

 

I haven't gotten to speak with a RE yet, I have just been dealing with the transfer team. I was with Dr. Daniel at the Royal Alex and would go back to her if I move to PCRM. Someone on the transfer team checked with a doctor about the ERA test and told me that they would do a scratch but not the ERA test - the opposite you were told! This is so confusing and frustrating. I guess I need to call them back again.......

 

Thanks so much and good luck to you too!

RamsBladderCup - I am with PCRM in Vancouver. Weve been with them from the beginning of our struggles back in 2013. I struggle with a thin lining. We had one successful pregnancy from a fresh cycle back in 2014, and since then have had nothing but BFNs, miscarriages, and chemicals. I just had a follow-up with Dr Seethram this morning and the first test he offered me was an ERA. I have requested an endo scratch in the past and been denied. So, I agree with Casper. I think whoever you spoke to had their wires crossed. They definitely offer ERA, but not too keen on endo scratches.

Me: 37 DH: 35
Dec 2005 - ectopic #1 in right tube (lap surgery, tube saved)
Actively TTC since May 2012
March 2013 - ectopic #2 in right tube (treated with MTX)
