I am worried. I did frozen embryo transfer of 5 days embryos at 27/9 then first beta at 5/10 was 157
second beta at 7/10 was 473 so doubling time around 32 hr but third beta at 10/10 was 976 so doubling time increase to 69 hr I am afraid help me. Update and today 18/10 is 6190 is it good
Yes! I think that would be fine.

Hi Dr Sher,
I will be 23 weeks pregnant with twins and will be traveling by plane for 7 hours. Is that ok you think?
Hi Dr
I have had 2 pregnancies so far. First resulted in a late term miscarriage in week 17 and the second was a early onset severe iugr where the baby was born in week 28 with 340 grams, passed away after 4,5 months in hospital. My placenta was sent away and analyzed and found to have CHIV and the drs have said that if we decide to go through another pregnancy then i need to take 10mg predisolone, heparin, intralipid, aspirin. Do you think this is ok? We are worried that we will be faced with the same issue again especially with a severe IUGR baby.
Hi dr SHER
I researched your success rates as published on CDC website and it seems to be significantly below the national averages. I had wanted to make an appointment but was concerned about these low pregnancy success rates. Is this because you deal with difficult cases?
Hi Doc,
My husband and I are just starting our second IVF cycle. Our first one resulted in 6 embryos, but 5 were low mosaic and 1 abnormal. The clinic I go to discourages the implantation of even low mosaic, so we’re on to our second cycle with no implantation done on the first. For this cycle, they would like to add Human Growth Hormone to my medications. Is that something you recommend or have seen commonly used before? My doctor has also requested that I start taking CQ10 supplements to aid in increasing the quality of embryos we receive. Are you familiar with that?
Thanks in advance for your expert opinion!
