  1. Hi Dr Sher,

    I read in your forum that your last day is in April. Are you going to be completely retired or would still do consultation or guidance in your clinic? We would really like to see you but our current 5?wks pregnancy is still up in the air

    • About Sher Fertility Solutions (SFS).

      The secret to success following treatment of Reproductive Dysfunction (RD) i.e. infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), has far more to do with thorough evaluation and planning of individualized and strategic treatment strategy than it has to do with technical expertise (e.g. egg retrieval and embryo transfer), which most physicians are very adept in doing having gained the technical expertise during their training. Rather, it is about carefully “planning the trip before taking the ride”.
      It will be my distinct privilege to assist you in evaluating the genesis of your RD and to develop a proposed strategic plan of action for you, through a number of face-to-face Skype consultations. Accordingly, prior to our initial 1 hour Skype consultation I will need access to as much information as possible, pertaining to your medical history, results of prior applicable tests and specifics regarding treatments you have undergone. At the conclusion of your initial consultation, I might request that you undergo additional testing and advise you on how/where best to get this done. Upon completion of these we will have a final Skype consultation at which time I will discuss my diagnosis, answer all your questions and lay out a detailed plan of action. This will be followed by a written report and a proposed management plan which you, at your discretion can present to your RE for further discussion. I stand willing, with your permission, to talk with your RE on the phone, if he/she contacts SFS to set up such a consultation with me. Recognizing that you might not have a designated RE or that if you do, he/she might not be amenable to accepting my advice, I would at your request, be willing to help you find an RE who might be open to considering my recommendations. This having been said, please keep in mind that once you have identified your chosen treating physician, your treatment will become his/her sole responsibility… I cannot and would not become involved in micromanaging your case. There are in most cases, decisions and adjustments that will be needed and therefore in the final analyses it is to your selected RE that all decisions will be deferred.

  2. Hello dr i had my frozen embryo transfer on 24-1-19 and tofay i did bhcg report which shows 100.6 level. Mr LMP was 7-1-19. My dr told to repeat bhcg on 11-2-19 as he feels it is very low. Kindly help and advice

    • This looks pretty good to me. An US in 2 weeks should be definitive!

      Good luck and G-d bless!

  3. Dr. Sher – Would you recommend Hysteroscopy before FET. I had my egg retrieval in early Jan, went for PGS and now RE wants to do HSG before FET . Please advise.

    • I would recommend a hysterosonogram.

  4. Hi, what do you recommend for first 24 hours after transfer, rest as much as possible or normal activity? I can do either. Thanks

    • I do not advocate bed rest. Just take it easy. Be a couch potato.

  5. Hi, I am taking 300mg of progesterone suppositories 3 x a day. I am considering whether to add prolutux injection once every 3 days. What do you think? Thank you very much for your advice

    • Would need much more information to comment authoritatively!
