  1. Embryos & Genetic Testing

    3 failed pgs donor fet transfers

    Hi Dr. Sher, I have a child conceived naturally at 39 and then two early miscarriages also natural conception (first loss at 6 weeks and second loss at 7 weeks prior to heartbeat being detected) at age 42 and age… — Eliana B.

    Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered

    This is highly likely to at least in part, be due to a secondary implantation dysfunction (see below). While not definitive, I suspect an immunologic implantation dysfunction (IID). The fact that you have had a child already means that it if an IID exists, it is possibly alloimmune…

  2. Immunology & Implantation

    RIF and DE cycles

    I have had 5 DE failed cycles. I’m Kir-Aa, I have Hashimotos, and I’ve been on Lovenox, Prednisone and Aspirin for the last 3 rounds and still failed despite high quality embryos. The donor was HLA. Now we can start… — Sophie W.

    Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered

    WE really should talk! To me it seams that there is an underlying implantation dysfunction that is likely immunologic in origin. If I am correct then respectfully, in my opinion, the treatment to address the immunologic implantation dysfunction (IID) was not optimal/adequate.I invite you to contact my assistant,…

    Infertility

    I am 32, have PCO. I have experienced EFS in all egg collections, medicated and unmedicated. Recently, I found out I have ZP1 homozygous mutation (autosomal recessive) which means maturation oocyte defect. Is there a way to find eggs or… — Andria E.

    Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered

    There is certainly room for differing opinions her, But I would not go straight to egg donation. There are so many factors that impact egg quality in women with PCOS, but most of them are amenable to treatment using an individualized protocol for ovarian stimulation. Polycystic ovary syndrome…

  7. Hormones & Ovulation

    Carrier Requirements

    Hello! I was wondering what requirements you have for the surrogates that your patients might work with if they choose the gestational surrogacy route. Is there an age limit or BMI limit? Would a surrogate who had diet-controlled gestational diabetes… — Jessi W.

    Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered

    Of course all the factors you mention and many more are part of the screening process. Also, I advocate that you meet with the surrogate. IVF surrogacy involves the transfer of one or more embryos into the uterus of a surrogate, who provides a host womb and carries…
