Endometriosis and IVF

I am a 30 year who had been diagnosed with Endometriosis (Stage III) for two years now. I am unable to conceive naturally since my left ovary is totally tied down with adhesions, and my right ovary doesn't seem to function at all even though it looks `pristine'. Although I count myself as one of the lucky ones since I don't experience much pain associated with Endo(except for tingly pains prior to my period - but not severe enough to require medication), I am plauged with the fact that I cannot conceive naturally.

I attempted IVF for the first time last year. I `grew' 6 eggs good sized eggs, all of them fertilised successfully, in fact 4 of them was classed `Grade 1' embroyos, and the remainly two as `Grade 2'. I have been assured by the clinic that this is `good'. However the two subsequent separate transfers of the embryos failed implant. The first transfer was a 4-cell embryo, I experienced very intense `contraction' pains and bled profusely one week after the transfer. The second transfer was an 8-cell embryo, I bled on the second week post transfer, and by the end of the second week I had a full-on period, blood tests indicated HCG = 2 and P4 levels are high enough (normal).

My question is has anybody here had `good' embroyos, and has a history of endometriosis? If the embryos are supposingly in good shape, is there a reason why they won't implant or is there something wrong with my uterus?? Should I get checked out for this?
