Dr Dr Sher,
Thank-you so much for considering my question.
I am waiting for a FET, having had a previous freeze only cycle from which I now have two NGS tested healthy embryos.
I was told to be on BCP for one month prior to starting the transfer cycle, which I started five days ago. Because of work reasons, I now have to have my transfer a month later than intended. Is it ok to be on BCP for two months (ie 21 days, 7 days no pill to allow bleed, then 21 days pill again) instead of the usual one month period , or is this a bad idea and should I just start from the very beginning again? I was hoping to transfer 9th December. I’m feeling worried as I can’t find guidance on this anywhere, the clinic doesn’t seem to have any opinion and like all of us I want to do things the best way. I know it’s not good to be on the BCP for too long before EC as it can lead to suppression, but I’m not sure of the situation with FET. Many thanks, Amber
I do not believe that being on the BCP for longer would have any ill-effect whatsoever.
Good luck!

Hi
I am 37 years of age! I hv already one Ivf cycle and had a baby boy with frozen embroy tranfer. I hv no embroy left now so considering IUi or ivf! I hv patent tubes but some adhesions! What is your advise?
I would stay with what clearly worked before and do another IVF.
Good luck!

Hi Doctor, Please help with the question. I had transferred 3 day 3 embryos on 09/23. My first blood test on 10/07 had hcg 2699 and second blood test on 10/09 had hcg 9100. My doctor says is very good.
Since i had my ivf treatment in India, doctors in USA are not supporting with any questions asked.
Kindly help me
This sounds like a possible multiple pregnancy to me.
Discuss with your RE.
Good luck!

I am currently 6 weeks 0 days pregnant, following a 5 day FET (1 genetic tested male). Yesterday, (5wk 6days) I experienced bleeding, with some clots for about 5 hours, went to ER – had pelvic exam (cervix closed), HCG drawn and was 13,000 (9,000 2 days prior at 5wk 4day). US done at ER, lining looked very thick and tech was unable to see anything. Not bleeding anymore today, but mild spotting when wiping, after using restroom. I am scheduled with my fertility Doctor for US on Thursday (6 weeks 5 days). I will also repeat HCG at 6 wk 2 day… Should I be hopeful? Praying that my little guy is hanging in there!
5 weeks-4 days is in my opinion too early for an US to be reliable. Your US on Thursday should be definitive.
Good luck!

I have an IUI scheduled for Monday. Yesterday my dominant follicle was 19mm and at home opk detected lh surge today. I’m worried I will ovulate before Monday and the IUI will be unsuccessful. My husband also has a lower sperm count so we wanted to “save” it for Monday rather than trying on our own again. Thoughts?
You need to do the IUI prior to ovulation. Monday could be too late.
Sorry!
