endometrium
Kliman said a normal endometrium is
like a surfer and a wave she has caught -- with the wave being the stroma and the surfer the glands."Just
as the surfer will miss the wave if
it goes by too quickly, the endometrial glands
can be left behind if the stroma moves
too quickly," said Kliman.
"This is what happens in many women with
unexplained infertility. The EFT® can diagnose
this problem and help guide the infertility
specialist to fix the problem, which in
turn will improve the chances of implantation
and a successful pregnancy."
"Beyond the cervix is the central cavity of the uterus. Lining this cavity is the endometrium. The endometrium is like a lawn which the non-pregnant body mows once a month. The lawn trimmings flow out as menstrual blood if you did not get pregnant in the previous cycle."
"There are four days in a month when the endometrium is like velcro for a pregnancy,"
