Hello Doctor, I had a frozen embryo transfer yesterday. 10 days ago I had some uncomfortable feelings around my vaginal area and went to do the tests. Gynaecologist suspected Candida and prescribed me immediate treatment. Today I got the test results back and yes Candida was confirmed, but as well Herpes Simplex 1+2. I’m worried out of my mind now that my FET might not work because of this. I am sure I didn’t have an outbreak as my discomfort was mild.
Do you have any advice? Can herpes virus be passed to the uterus during the embryo transfer?
Kind Regards
Ana
Neither Candida nor Herpes should affect your chance of success!
Good luck!

Hi Dr Sher, where would I find your published success rates for each age group for your A/ACP and A/ACEP protocols? I can’t seem to find them anywhere and anything I do find is 7-10 years old. Can you provide the link?
I do not have this broken down….Call 800-780-7437 and set up a consultation to discuss.

Hi Dr Sher, I read your article on empty follicle syndrome. I was on a long BCP with lupron overlap cycle and had one empty follicle, is this also likely to be caused by poor protocol? 6 weeks on bcp with 2 days lupron overlap. Period arrived ten days after atopping BCP. Stims started on day 3. Stimmed for 15 days. We did not add luveris.
One empty follicle does not alone signify the “syndrome”. Usually many follicles will be empty.
I would be happy to discus this with you in detail. I urge you to contact my concierge, Julie Dahan ASAP to set up a Skype or an in-person consultation with me. You can also contact Julie by phone or via email at 702-533-2691/ Julied@sherivf.com You can also apply online at http://www.SherIVF.com .

The 4th edition of my newest book ,”In Vitro Fertilization, the ART of Making Babies” is available as a down-load through http://www.Amazon.com or from most bookstores and public libraries.

Hi Dr Sher,
Thank you for the invaluable resource that you provide. I am glad I came across your site before your retirement. I would like to ask why it is that you recommend cetrotide 0.125mg rather than 0.25mg in your A/ACP protocol and if this might increase the risk of a breakthrough LH surge coming towards egg retrieval?
125mcg of antagonist in the A/ACP arrangement is in my opinion sufficient to prevent premature luteinization.

Will IL work at all if it was done 7-9 days before embryo transfer? My clinic didn’t time things right, I know you’ve said it’s supossed to be done 10-14 days before.
Ideal is 10-14 days before ET. However, anyhing longer than 7 days prior to ET should be OK!
