Dear Dr Sher,

I am currently 8+2 pregnant following our final FET with our last euploid embryo. It was a natural FET. My 8 week scan showed everything to be on track with no obvious concerns.

My IVF clinic say to stop all progesterone at 10 weeks (I’m on 3 x lubion and 3 x 400mg cyclogest per day). I am also under the care under a reproductive immunologist who will keep me on 2 x 400mg cyclogest per day until 16 weeks. Is it ok to drop straight down to just 2 cyclogest at 10 weeks or should I taper off more gradually? Or should I ask to keep on full progesterone support for longer?

I would value your opinion.

Many thanks

Vicky

Hi Dr Sher,
How many days before FET should IVIG be administered? Is it ok to do it 3 days before?

Is it ok to take antibiotics/Nitrofurantoin when doing IVIG?

Many thanks,
Sheena

High doses of drugs used to stimulate the ovaries of older women undergoing fertility treatment may be causing chromosomal abnormalities in their eggs?

Hello,

On 9/15, I tested positive on an at home test. On 9/21, I went to see an ob for an transvaginal us where a sack could not be detected. The same day, I got my blood drawn for hcg and progesterone levels. Hcg is at 426 and progesterone is at 8.4. Two days later (today), took another hcg blood test and the level came back to 460. A very slight increase. What could this mean?

Is it normal for you hcg levels to go from 780 to 5,900 in 5 days? I go to my first ob appointment the 4th… im just curious about it because this will be my first kid…

Good morning. We just found out we are pregnant this morning. As previous clients, we are reaching out to see what we need to do. We had the implantation issues and were on blood thinners during treatment. Do we need to book an appointment or consultation? Being how difficult it has been to get pregnant and stay pregnant, we want to see what the next steps are.
