Is Patency Test Required Before Going For IVF?
Question: Hi Doc,
I did receive my TB Culturing report & says none have grown so far. But the last report is on 12th Aug, 2014. Now what would you suggest?
Do I also go for a Patency test & also check for hydrosalphinx. Just concerned, since want everything to be OK before I go for my next part of IVF ie - Embryo tranfer.
Thanks & regards,
XXXX
