IVF Using Own Eggs : When is it Time to Move on?

Because of the emotional, physical, and financial toll exacted by IVF, it is preferable that no one undertake a one‑shot attempt. If a couple can only afford one treatment cycle, IVF is probably not the right course of action. After all, with conventional IVF there is only about one chance in three that it will result in a live birth ‑and a tremendous letdown if it fails. It is thus unreasonable to undergo IVF with the attitude that “if it doesn’t work the first time, we’re giving up.” In vitro fertilization is a gamble even in the best of circumstances.

After scouring the Internet for some guidance as to why I was having trouble giving my daughter a sibling, I found Dr. Sher’s website. After reading everything I could, I had a hunch that NK cells were at play and keeping me from having a healthy pregnancy. I had been through 4 losses with unexplained

Starting Your Journey With SFS

By Dr. Drew Tortoriello

Infertility treatment encompasses a wide range of possibilities, of
which IVF is only one option. It is not the treatment of choice for
everyone. However, while in the past, IVF was often considered the
last common pathway, today, due to a myriad of factors, IVF is
regarded as one of the mainstays for helping couples achieve the goal
of a healthy family. In the final analysis, it is our
individualized approach to treatment and our emphasis on putting
patients at the fore…

Endometriosis Mechanism of Infertility

By Dr. Drew Tortoriello

Endometriosis is known to have a profoundly significant negative
effect on fertility. Normal natural pregnancy rates are in the range
of 0.15 to 0.20 per month and decrease with age, but women with
endometriosis tend to have a lower monthly rate of about 0.02–0.1
per month. Conversely, infertile women are 6 to 8 times more likely
to have endometriosis than fertile women.
Why does endometriosis cause infertility? The inflammation
associated with endometriosis ca…

Hereditary Clotting Defects (Thrombophilia)

By Dr. Geoffrey Sher

Thrombophilia (Hereditary Clotting Defect) is defined as the genetic
predisposition to developing intravascular thrombosis. It is due to
hypercoagulability of blood leading to impairment of initial
vascularization that takes place during implantation.
Thrombophilia affects as many as one in five people in the United
States and is responsible for pregnancy loss (most particularly after
the 1st tri…

Endometriosis and Infertility

By Dr. Geoffrey Sher

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 complex condition where, the lack or relative
absence of an overt anatomical barrier to fertility often belies the
true extent of reproductive problem(s).
All too often the view is expounded that the severity of
endometriosis-related infertility is inevitably …

Egg Donation-Fashioning Rational Expectations: Preparation; Donor Selection; Using Fresh versus Frozen (Banked) Eggs; Financial/Ethical Considerations; The Process; Outcome!…

By Dr. Geoffrey Sher

For many women, disease, the physiological decline in ovarian reserve
(DOR) and spontaneous or pathologically induced menopause will
preclude pregnancy using own eggs. For such women, the performance of
IVF using the eggs of a chosen young third party (egg donor-ED) offers
an excellent opportunity to go from infertility to family. For such
women, ED offers several advantages:

* _M_ore eggs are retrieved from a young donor than would ordinarily
be needed to complete a sing…

Secondary Infertility: Addressing the Root Causes

By Dr. Geoffrey Sher

It is one thing for a woman who has never been able to conceive
(primary infertility) to come to grips with undergoing In Vitro
Fertilization. It is quite another matter for someone who has
successfully achieved a pregnancy in the past having to come to terms
with a subsequent inability to conceive (secondary infertility). When
this happens, it raises issues of guilt, a declining sense of
self-worth and ultimately self-recrimination. The ramifications often
impact family relatio…
