Hello, I am currently pregnant for the 4th time. First pregnancy in 2014 was successful (4 year old), followed by two miscarriages.
Here are my HCG levels
5/14-259 4wk
5/16-489 4wk2d
5/23-3,318 5wk2d
5/31-7,300 6wk3d
My last scan on 5/31 measured only 5wk5d and there was no fetal pole. The doctor expected to see one. There was a gestational sac and a very small yolk sac. The doctor said that they are optimistic but highly concerned that it is another bad pregnancy. The doctor put me on pregesterone and I go for another scan on June 7th! Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
It is too early to be certain. Wait a week and repeat the US. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Good luck!

Hello Doctor,
My wife is 35 and we have done 3 IUI and 3 IVF with 2 frozen cycle with genetics testing. 1st two were miscarried at 6 weeks and 3rd one all went all but doctor said did not implant. we have spent a big amount for these treatments. doctor always said unexplained and he did not find any issues. we are not able to think anything now. please advise!
Dear Dr Sher,
I was wondering how precise the timing of injections should be (Lupron, Gonal-F, Menopur)? Is it ok, If one one day I get the injection at 6 pm, and the next day, I get the injection at 8 pm? How much room for variability is there? Thanks!
In my opinion, a splay of a few hours will have no ill-effects.

Hello Dr. Sher,
I have had 1 live birth of a son. The pregnancy was quite eventful (appendix ruptured at 33 weeks and had an appendectomy ). He was delivered by emergency c-section at 37w because I began to bleed. I then went on to have 4 miscarriages (6 weeks, 13 weeks, 17 weeks, 20 weeks) I had a septate uterus that was removed between the 13w and 17w loss and another 2 resection surgeries because my RE thought it was still there. All my RPL blood work and tests come back normal. All babies were boys. Is there anything you would recommend?
Thank you for your time!
Hi, I am a 39 years old female suffering from endometriosis and have had multiple ivf failures in the past. I had a Frozen Embryo transfer (PGS tested one normal embryo) done on May 22, 2018. I did my first beta HCG blood test yesterday and it came back positive! Beta HCG 224.0 and progesterone 28.50. Do these numbers look good and should I hope for a normal viable pregnancy?
Looking promising!
Good luck!
