   Thank you Dr Sher. Also would a 30minute walk 24hours after embryo transfer be OK? Seems a silly question and I know it says no strenuous exercise but I just wanted to ask.
   Thanks again.

     I would wait 2 days before doing such!

   Hello Dr Sher,
   Maybe 3 hours after my frozen embryo transfer I had a streak of blood and a bit of discharge on the tissue when I went to the toilet, and nothing after that. I’m a bit worried as it was so soon after the transfer happened…Is this OK?

     I would not be overly concerned. This was almost certainly not coming from inside the uterus. Most likely it was due to an irritation of the cervix caused by insertion of the catheter.

   Hi Dr Sher,
   How soon after a FET should a hatching blastocyst (grade 5AA) implant?
   Thank you

     Within 48 hours or so!

   Hello Dr Sher,

   In this link
   ( https://www.drgeoffreysherivf.com/preventing-severe-ovarian-hyperstimulation-syndrome-with-prolonged-coasting/ ) which explains prolonged coasting, Lupron isn’t mentioned. Why is that? I thought Lupron was part of prolonged coasting.

   Thank you

     Thanks for this comment. In this article I refer to the use of an “agonist”. Lupron is one of several agonists that can be used. Agonists such as Buserelin and Aminopeptidyl can supplant Lupron. They form an integral part of the “coasting” regime.

   Dear Dr. Sher,
   Thank you so much for you website and all the useful information.
   I’m from middle east .
   40 years old and in IVF cycle with 4 freezed embryos.
   there is a big question in my mind ,
   my doctor Prescribed to use letrozole before transfer embryos .
   why should be Stimulate the ovaries in this part of IVF?
   Is it common or a special strategy ?
   According to my tests I have not any hormone problem except amh= 1
   Do you recommend this strategy?

     Respectfully,

     In my opinion there is no need for Letrozole here.
