   I am 2w5d, post day5 FET, I am on estrogen 2mg tds and progesterone pessaries bd, plus progesterone orally at midday. My beta was 2997 and progesterone 67nmol/L. I missed a dose of estrogen last night, do you think it will affect my pregnancy? And also should I space my progesterone 8 hrs apart?
   Thanks

     Missing 1 shot of estrogen will not likely compromise your pregnancy. However, the spacing of your hormonal shots should be discussed by you with your treating doctor!

     Good luck!

   Dr. Sher
   I recently had an IUI cycle cancelled due to fluid in Uterine lining. I was not given much of an explanation as to why this happens. This has not occurred during my previous cycles- is this cause for concern? Any information as to what causes this. Thank you for your time!

     You need a hysteroscopy to examine your uterine cavity for surface lesions (polyp/scar tissue/a fibroid tumor….. protruding into your uterine cavity.

   Hi Dr Sher
   I transferred a PGS embryo on January 17th. I had a good initial beta at 10dp5dt of 256. The rest is as follows:
   12dp5dt-460
   15dp5dt-1167
   18dp5dt-2654

   My doubling time increased from 53-54hrs to 61 hrs. Have you seen successes from doubling time increasing like this?

     I am not overly concerned. An US done at 6-7 weeks should clear all this up!

     Good luck!

   Hi Dr. Sher,

   Do my HCG levels indicate miscarriage?

   3w5d – 55.9
   4w2d – 513.6
   6w1d – 21,527
   6w3d – 21,964

   I know this looks like it will be non viable but is ectopic still a possibility with levels this high? I am trying to be hopeful but in know HCG plateau indicates miscarriage. no bleeding or cramping.

     You need an ultrasound to obtain definitive information.
