Hi Dr Sher
I have been trying to conceive for 3 years now with no success. I’ve recently had 1 failed ivf cycle where I began bleeding 7 days post embryo transfer. Which I believe is implantation failure.
I have a history of heavy painful periods, stomach problems such as diarrhea and bloating, mid cycle bleeding (i spot randomly at any point during the cycle and it feels like having a mini period as i spot and have pain at the same time), painful ovulation. I suspect that I have endometriosis however my doctor refused to investigate further and said I only have hormonal imbalance. However, I have heard that endometriosis and estrogen dominance go hand in hand.
A year before pursuing ivf, I had a hysteroscopy which showed that I didn’t have any polyps and my uterus is normal. My question to you is that can you detect endometriosis with hysteroscopy and should I continue to push my doctor for endometriosis diagnosis.
I also want to ask you that I suffer from allergies such as hayfever, does this make my immune system overactive and creates more natural killer cells?
