Welcome Back!
Greetings and welcome back! Today, my spouse and I attended my hysteroscopy follow-up appointment. This appointment was a follow up for the hysteroscopy procedure I underwent on June 15, 2023, for the purpose of scar tissue removal. The two-week post-operative evaluation yielded highly positive results, indicating appropriate positioning of the balloon and expected outcomes across all aspects. Consequently, we anticipated the removal of the balloon and the administration of stem cells to facilitate the thickening of my uterine lining in preparation for embryo transfer. During my appointment, the medical team adhered to the standard protocol, which included assessing my vital signs and extracting approximately four or five tubes of blood.
Uterine PRP
Medical professionals generally recommend the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for individuals who face fertility challenges directly related to a thin endometrial lining or have experienced repeated failures in the implantation process. This particular PRP procedure targets the endometrial lining with the objective of augmenting its thickness, thereby enhancing the prospects of successful implantation. Recurrent implantation failure associated with a thin endometrium lining is a difficult condition to treat in IVF. In doing research I see that PRP has gained traction in various area of medicine as well as gynaecological disorders. While adequate endometrial health and thickness is a critical factor for establishing a pregnancy in IVF.
Balloon another week, Uterine PRP
I was not aware until the doctor actually entered the exam room that the balloon would remain until next week. The doctor performed the stem cell infusion through the catheter of the balloon, which induced intense cramping that caught me off guard. I am uncertain about the subsequent steps following the removal of the balloon, as well as the overall process involved after the placement of the stem cells. I will keep you all updated, so please stay tuned for further information.
