Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
I would use both the euploid blastocysts. My suggestion is that once you have stopped breast feeding and are menstruating regularly you proceed to FET. Good luck!

Uterine & Endometrial Health
Hello, I had a laproscopy to remove 5cm endometrioma 14 months ago. I have stage 4 endometriosis. The endometrioma was conservatively removed at about 90% to preserve ovarian tissue. Ultrasound now shows the endometrioma is back and measuring 2cm. The… — Amanda H.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
Sclerotherapy would be an option, but it might not be readily available. Endometriosis is a condition that occurs when the uterine lining (endometrium) grows not only in the interior of the uterus but in other areas, such as the Fallopian tubes, ovaries and the bowel. Endometriosis is a…

I’ve been trying to conceive a baby with my significant other for a couple months now and have had no luck. We’ve done everything we possibly can and nothing is working. Is it possible that if I smoke nicotine that… — Vaughn K.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
Usually you would wait 1 full year before diagnosing infertility. If not pregnant by then, you would need an infertility work-up with your local doctor or call my assistant, Patti Converse (702-533-2691) and set up a consultation with me online. I don't think the use of nicotine is…

Dear sir! My name is Denisa, I am 32. In my 29 I gave a birth to a beautiful boy. Got pregnant for the first month trying, verything went well. After labour, there was a very small piece of placenta… — Denisa K.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
This is likely due to post-partum endometritis following retained products of conception. WE should talk. Might I suggest that you call my assistant, Patti Converse (702-533-2691 and set up an online consultation with me to discuss options: It was as far back as 1989, when I first published…
Hormones & Ovulation
Thoughts on priming with estrace and testosterone? — Christine K.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
Estrogen priming for cases of severely diminished ovarian reserve is in my opinion worthy of consideration. Rarely is testosterone priming beneficial! Geoff Sher
Uterine & Endometrial Health
Hi Dr Sher, I've had one natural pregnancy which ended at 19 weeks. I had a D&C for this. Since then I've had two 3D saline sonograms, both of which have shown a completely normal uterine cavity. Since my D&C,… — Anne-Marie D.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
You certainly are likely to have a secondary anatomical or immunologic implantation dysfunction...We should talk. I suggest you call my assistant, Patti Converse and set up an online consultation with me. Implantation dysfunction is unfortunately often overlooked as an important cause of IVF failure. This is especially relevant…

Ovarian Stimulation & OHSS
Hi Dr Sher, I've just had a failed medicated FET. I have now stopped all medication and am waiting for my period to start. I want to do my next transfer as quickly as possible and I'm keen to try… — Anne-Marie D.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
The answer to both questions is yes! However, I am not a proponent of natural cycle FET. See below: Until less than a decade ago, most women undergoing IVF would have embryos transferred to the uterus in the same cycle that the egg retrieval was performed (“Fresh” Embryo…

Hi Dr. I am 39 and have PCOS. I went for my day 3 AFC and I was informed by the nurse that I have 20 follicles on my left ovary and another 20 on my right. The strange thing… — Kristin C.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
Quite frankly, at 39y ,with PCOS, I would favor IVF over ovarian stimulation with or without IUI. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal system disorder among women affecting between 5% and 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Women with PCOS may have enlarged ovaries that…
Uterine & Endometrial Health
Dear Doctor, I would like to ask for your opinion of ERA specifically in women with adenomyosis. I had an ERA which showed that I would need one extra day of progesterone (so transfer after 6 days). However, a new… — Shira M.
Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
Herewith my response on both issues; A: ADENOMYOSIS: Adenomyosis is a condition where endometrial glands develop outside the uterine lining (endometrium), within the muscular wall of the uterus (myometrium). Definitive diagnosis of adenomyosis is difficult to make. The condition should be suspected when a premenopausal woman (usually>25 years…
Uterine & Endometrial Health

Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered
In my opinion, these tests cannot provide reasonable insight into whether or not there is an underlying immunologic implantation dysfunction.(IID). Might I recommend that you contact my assistant, Patti Converse at 702-533-2691 and set up an online consultation with me to discuss~! Implantation dysfunction is unfortunately often overlooked…
