Dear Dr Geoff,
I had my last period 10th of Oct (29 days cycle)
1 Nov – 14
2 Nov – 26
4 Nov – 120
6 Nov – 450
9 Nov – 2150
11 Nov – 3920
11 Nov – I was 4 weeks and 4 days and I see that for the week 4 level max should be not more 450
I am happy with these numbers but I am just worried there could be something with chromosomes..
Thank you very much for your comment here. Should I do transvaginal ultrasound? I would love to be a mum…
Looks promising Aleksandra!
Good luck!

Hi Dr SHER – I’m waiting to start a donor FET cycle after failed multiple cycles. I’m impatiently waiting for my period to start based on my natural cycle (which has always been normal 28 days). But now on CD36 with no period, my RE had me do bloodwork with following results: LH-16 mIU/mL; FSH- 5.18 mIU/mL; progesterone-0.292 ng/mL; HCG- 1.64 mIU/mL; estrogen- pending. What do these results indicate? Does it mean I’m entering menopause? I have DOR and am 39 years old. Thank you.
Very unlikely to be an impending menopause. You should take progesterone for a few days to bring on a period and have an US to exclude an ovarian cyst. Discuss with your RE.

Dear Dr. Sher,
I had done the Ultrasound today at 5 week and 1 day and attaching the results as an attachment. In short, it showed that I have intrauterine geststational sac, but a small SCH as well. Are we worried about this SCH, do I have to take care in anyways that will help. I had IVIg and there is big bruise around the injection site yesterday.
What would be your suggestion in this situation? anything that can help?
Most SCHs will absorb over a few weeks without doing harm. You need bed rest and careful follow-up with your RE.
Good luck!

Thank you Dr. Sher for your reply. It helped me calm down!!
Hi Dr Sher,
Today’s beta came back at 1993 (6 weeks) and two days ago it was 1599. Should I be worried?
It is concerning. Go in and do an US for a definitive answer!
Good luck!
