Hi Dr Sher, what are your thoughts on the endo immune biopsy? Do you still need to do it if you have done the NKC tests? What is the prescription if issues are found? TIA!
I responded earlier!

Hello,
I recently found out I am expecting. My HCG level on 11/2 was 94. On 11/4 it was 240. On 11/11 it was 647. Is this okay? It seems like it didn’t rise appropriately
That is a very slow rise. Frankly it does not look promising!
Sorry!

Hi Dr. Sher,
I’m wondering if my beta levels are normal or cause for concern:
9dp5dt: 480
11dp5dt: 1070
16dp5dt: 9024
I only transferred one (PGS tested) embryo, I’m excited that the numbers are high and growing but I am concerned that they might be too high since they are over the typical range.
Thank you!
Lynn
Looks very good to me!
Good luck and G-d bless!

Hi Dr. Sher!
I am currently 5w2, and went in for an ultrasound today. We were able to see the gestational sac, yolk sac, and even a flicker of a fetal pole…all in the uterus as confirmed by both doctors.
However, they said there was free fluid in my right tube (the one I ovulated from), which they seemed perplexed by given the babies location in the uterus. This fluid was not there at a US I had five days ago. Any idea what this could be (they didn’t know) and should I be concerned?
I don’t go back for another US for 8 days and that feels like a very long wait, so was hoping you may be able to offer some insight.
Respectfully, I do not think this is an issue.

This was posted but without an answer from you…any idea? Thank you!
Hello Dr,
Would you transfer a low mosaic implicating chromosome 16? All i have read on the topic says chromosome 16 is the riskiest (for miscarriage, live birth, and mental / physical development) and shall be avoided. My Dr says the latest studies say otherwise. I am lost!
I would transfer it but if in event of pregnancy would follow-up with a CVS or amniocentesis to confirm health of an ensuing pregnancy , allowing the option to terminate a compromised gestation.!
Good luck!
