Question 1

does a uterine  polyp 3 weeks prior of embryo transfer could cause a healthy blastocyst with no chromosomes abnormalities not to implant?

Accepted Answer

Polyp not good: If we know that someone has an endometrial polyp, we like to remove it prior to an embryo transfer. Miscarriage risk is increased if there are polyps. As expected, pregnancy rates are higher after hysteroscopies and polypectomies. Good luck!

Question 2

what is uterine leiomyoma cause?

Accepted Answer

Often nothing: Uterine leiomyomas (aka fibroids) are the most common pelvic tumor in women. They are often found incidentally and cause no symptoms. We call these fibroids "passengers" because they ride in the uterus and do not need any treatment. Women that have symptoms often complain of heavy menstrual flow, pelvic pain, or increased urinary frequency.

Question 3

what causes a thin uterine lining?

Accepted Answer

Thin lining: At certain times of your cycle the lining is thin - immediately after your period. Estrogen thickens/ grows the uterine lining. A low amount of estrogen production will result in a thin lining. The most common thing that causes a thin lining in young women is hormonal contraceptives (pills, depo, mirena, (levonorgestrel) NuvaRing ). Here, it is normal and not an indication of any problem.

Question 4

what can cause uterine infections?

Accepted Answer

Usually bacteria: The lining of the uterus is a perfect substrate for bacteria to grow.  In the lab they use blood agar to culture bacteria and the inside of the uterus is similar.  Any bacteria that gets from the vagina into the uterus can begin to grow and set up an infection in the uterus.  Frequently these are sexually transmitted but not always.  Infection can also happen after a c/section or vaginal delivery.
