I’m 39 have had three boys normally, tried 4 IVF with PGD and sperm spinning for a girl and have been unsuccessful. Do you offer any methods for gender selection?
I have also had one fetal loss with normal pregnancy at 19 weeks and two FET not taking. Would you test for anything, or add to the normal transfer protocol?
I think we should talk Sana,

Hello I have a question about which protocol I should use. I had one failed IVF procedure. I didn’t respond well to the meds. I was on the maximum dosage. I barely got 6 eggs from the retrieval. Sadly I wasn’t able to do the transfer part. Afterwards I had my AMH level tested and it was a 0.72. I’m 31 and never had a pregnancy. I am going to do one more round of IVF. What protocol would you recommend?
Hi Dr. Sher. Your website has been an invaluable source of information. In regards to IVF, what factors do you think play a role in monozygotic twinning (where the blastocyst splits)? I’ve heard that 5 day-old blasts and ICSI assisted-hatching increases these odds. We retrieved 38 mature eggs and are doing a frozen eSET next month (with AH). Curious what chances we have for monozygotic twinning?
The chances are slightly increased by creating an hiatus in the envelopment of the embryo though assisted hatching and/or embryo biopsy for PGS. However the chances are still <1:100.
Good luck!

What is your opinion regarding ovarian rejuvenation using PRP injections as well as other methods to restore ovarian function in menopausal women?
I do not believe it to have merit.

Hi Dr. Sher. With our blastocysts already being frozen, would performing PGS testing at a later date (and then re-freezing) result in compromising the blastocysts or negatively impact them? Thank you so much.
Secondary thawing for PGS does produce pregnancies but it also in my opinion compromises tghe embryos to some extent. I do not advocate it!
Geoff Sher
It could well have a detrimental effect although pregnancies are reported following such secondary testing.
