Hi, today my first FET cycle failed, im very upset and feeling helpfull, my doctor said that did not taking estradiol for 5 days during ET preparation was culprit but
sir I stopped it by mistake.
ill tell you from start of FET cycle this month they gave her luprodex depot 3.75mg on 29 march 2017 (LMP was 10/03/2017)
after that wifes period came on 10 april 2017
then they prescribe Tab ASA and Folvite once a day for one month and Prostium E two times a day 11 & 12 april and three times a day 13 to 16 april remember that on 11/04/2017 ET was 2.9 mm
then they prescribed Prostium ES three times a day starting from 17 april and told me that we do come again on 24 of April for
trans vaginal scan.
after that we go there on 24 april for TVS and after trans vaginal scan they told me that Endometrium thickness is 9.3 mm and they planned FET on 28 of april 2017 simultaneously they start giving Geston 100 mg inj and Womenox 40 mg inj. from 24 April to 28 April
on 28 April four best day three embryo transferred successfully out of nine embryo.
sir my question is that not taking Prostium ES (estradiol from 23 April to 28 April morning before transfer (approx. five days) harm or affect FET cycle or 2WW results??
It could well have had an adverse influence and been a deciding factor, in my opinion.

Dr Sher,
Do you recommend dosing HGH from days 1-5 or alternate days 2,4,6,8?
I do not recommend hCG supplementation.

Good evening,
I just completed a mini ivf using clomid. I froze eggs after. Gearing up for another ivf. Will the clomid that I used raise my day 2/3 fsh?
It could do!
I am NOT a fan of mini-IVF or the use of clomiphene in IVF. Success rates are far too low!

Hi- 2 prior pregnancies & live births. trying for a third. had 2 back to back chemical pregnancies with PGS embryos, and had immune testing done. everything was normal. TNF alpha is 30.9. do you consider 30.9 to be high for TNF alpha? NK cells normal, T reg normal, TH1/TH2 etc. Is TNFa of 30.9 enough to be concerned? my doc is doing prednisone and intralipids given the history. Would IVIG be necessary or do you think prednisone & intralipids is enough given that history???
Unless there is evidence of NK cell activation, there is no advantage in using IL,in my opinion.

Hi dr.sher
I’ve finally got my immune panel back and I have Hy restricting hla alleles . My doctor recommends ivig after a frozen transfer. My question is there any way of a healthy pregnancy if we tried on our own with this or will I always miscarry ?
First, giving IVIG after ET is too late to be of benefit, in my opinion. It needs to be infused 10-14 days prior to ET.
As for the rest, I am unable to comment authoritatively without access to MUCH more information.
