Failed DE Treatment

Name: Jaime k

Hi Dr. Sher,

In 2019 I moved to DE at the age of 43 in Greece. I became pregnant on my first transfer and delivered my son in 2020. Since then I have been trying for a sibling with no success. I’ve had 3 failed DE transfers in a row with the same clinic. My first cycle used down regulation at CD 21 with a medicated FET. My second cycle we did the same but I had ovulated through it and the clinic did not cancel the FET. My last two cycles have been FET only using vaginal suppositories. I’m at a loss here…giving up hope that I can have another baby. I’ve had multiple hystos and biopsies performed-my lining is optimal. What do you think I can do to improve my chances?

progesterone in the days prior to FET

Name: Mary M

atiI took an extra progestrone shot (1 ml) in the morning 4 days prior to my scheduled FET. I’m supposed to take in the evening (yesterday was my first day on progesterone injections and the clinic had me take one in morning and one in evening) Should I take half a ml this evening and then continue taking each evening? Should I skip the evening one and just take in mornings? Should I take normal dose in evening and then continue each evening? Is this a definite cause for cancelling cycle?

I wish I could help but you need to discuss this directly with your treating doctor!

Egg freezing at 48

Name: Lucie A

I have been prepping for an IVF cycle for the past few months after undergoing an ovarian rejuvenation procedure. After my blood work last week. My doctor said I had ovulated and ready to start birth control pills. My concern is that my current doctor is too far away. Then I stumbled into your clinic online tonight. Wondering if you accept older patients above 45?
I have had five live births and regular periods and ovulating without any stimulation.

Empty follicles

Name: Halima I

Hi Dr, thanks for your article on empty follicles. I have DOR, and had two retrievals in 2021 and 2023 which yielded zero eggs (out of 3-4 follicle ). My protocol were different each time but both at least included Follistim and HCG trigger. One didn’t include Menopur, and instead had low dose HCG and Cetrotide. The other cycle had micro dose Lupron, no Cetrotide/Ganirelix, and used also a HCG trigger (Ovidr).

My latest (3rd retrieval) had more follicles (7) but yielded 3 eggs, all mature: this cycle used a slightly lower dose of Follistim (200), same dose of Menopur as cycle 2 (150 iCU), and Cetrotide. We used a a double trigger of HCG 10,000 plus Lupron (40 units). It appears that this third protocol which included Lupron (together with HCG) was more ideal, but your email says HCG is more ideal. Also you say Menopur is also not ideal – do you think I would have a better outcome by removing Menopur but keeping the double trigger? Thanks so much.

It is too complex to respond to here. I suggest you call my assistant Patti at 702-533-2691 and set up an online consultation with me to discuss.
