Embryos & Genetic Testing
Hello Dr. Sher at my current clinic I have gone through 4 transfers with PGT-A normal embryos. My first transfer resulted in a chemical pregnancy, but the following transfers did not implant at all. The tests I have done are… — Ashley P.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
In my opinion this is almost certainly an implantation dysfunction. Bear in mind that in 30% of cases, endometriosis is associated with an immunologic implantation dysfunction. Implantation dysfunction is often overlooked as a significant reason for IVF failure. This is especially true when IVF failure is unexplained, or…
Fertility Preservation

Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
Respectfully, Freezing eggs in a woman of your age (regardless of ovarian reserve), yields very disappointing results. It is far better to fertilize the eggs, take them to blastocyst and to biopsy those that make it to that stage by no later than day 6...and do PGS/PGT to…

Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
Respectfully, In my opinion what you were on was a "microflare" protocol. I suspect that this might have been a factor. We should talk. I suggest that you contact my assistant, Patti Converse at 702-533-2691 and set up an online consultation with me to discuss in depth. EGG/…
Early Pregnancy & hCG
My beta HCG results is 4,284. Is it positive? — Nikki N.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
Yes indeed! Going through IVF is a major investment, emotionally, physically, and financially, for every patient or couple. One of the most crucial moments is receiving the result of the blood test for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy. It's a big deal! The days after the embryo transfer,…

Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
I respectfully differ. In my opinion, unless you still have sizable endometriotic cysts (endometriomas) in your ovaries or you have significantly reduced ovarian reserve, I doubt that the endometriosis itself explains your poor egg/embryo quality. Given your young age, I suspect that the protocol used for ovarian stimulation…
