Can I ask about the antibiotic therapy you have on your pre ET list? I have had 4 laser surgeries for endo and have recently been diagnosed with diverticular disease. I am prescribed flagyl for flare-ups which I notice seem to present approx day 4 of my cycle. Thanks

Pretty soon they won't need us girls at all, babies will be gestated in huge tanks in labs. It frustrates me that they can make these huge leaps in ART but they can't help my friends.
