   Thank you for your response.

   Why not #5 or #3

   Please explain

     They were complex aneuploid and thus likely not “mosaics”.

   Hi
   My dr is advising not to worry about e2 levels for transfer… do you think you can have too high of e2 levels before transfer? Anything I can do to lower or just not worry about it. My lining is perfect and 3 layers.

     This is for FET

     The levels are important in my opinion, but mainly to try to avoid the occurence of sever (life-endangering) ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and in other cases to be able to make sure they increase progressively and dont suddenly drop due to premature luteinization.

   I had an IUI on Sunday morning with 3 follicles on my left and 1 on right and today – Friday I am having left side pain. Can that be a sign of ectopic pregnancy?

   Thank you,

     No! MUCH too early!! probably a post ovulation pain.

   Hi Dr. Sher,

   I am currently going through my 4th miscarriage. In 2016, I had a healthy baby girl with no complications. Since then, I continue to miscarry right at 6 weeks. After my third miscarriage, they discovered that I had endometritis. They treated it with antibiotics over the course of several months and I was cleared from this in June 2019. We tried again for 6 months and got pregnant last month. We found out this week that there is not a fetal heart beat when I went in for an ultrasound and that my HCG was dropping. We are devastated since we had thought the reason behind our losses was endometritis.

   My RPL panel (bloodwork) is also normal when we had it tested in 2018.

   What do you recommend? We feel desperate for answers and so desperately want to have more kids.

   Thank you!
