Sat, 09 Jan 2010 16:45:51 +0000 http://fertilityfile.com/?p=696#comment-18950 Dr. Lee, So sorry... I left a few things out in my post. I was diagnosed with PCOS and poor egg quality. My husband was diagnosed with slightly low testosterone (I want to say just two points below normal). He had the varicocele surgery and now the urologist in the IF practice says his testosterone levels are 'great.' The most important part I left out was this; I have two frozen embryos left. We want to try another FET. What could/should I know about incompetent cervix that could make a different and save the next baby's life, or is it a 'crap shoot.' Also, would it be safe to trasnfer two? If we chose to transfer only one at a time, are we lowering our chances of that 'one' embryo implanting? I have heard that women often transfer several because it increases their chances at getting pregnant. So, does that mean transferring only one will 'lower' your chances? Hoping my story will inspire future blog topics for you to research and discuss. Thank you again, Jennifer A. Dr. Lee,

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 16:39:58 +0000 http://fertilityfile.com/?p=696#comment-18949 Hi Dr. Lee, I have followed your blog for several months now. It has been so helpful, and I thank you for that. My husband I have been trying to conceive for 3 years now, and under the care of an RE since October of '08. We've had 5 IUI's and 2 IVF's. Long story short, the first IVF resutled in OHSS and the 4 embryos were frozen. The second IVF only resulted in 2 embryos surviving to day 5 and they were both transferred, but I was hospitalized with the flu AND we got a negative on a pregnancy test. We had a FET this past summer and transferred 2 of the embryos. (Many details to my story but they believe the blood thinners helped us as I was diagnosed with MTHFR.) I had a successful, singleton pregnancy but delivered stillbirth at 20 weeks, 5 days. I was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix. I have read on line that this is not uncommon in infertility patients. In a nutshell, I was wondering if you would consider blogging about any of these topics in the future: blood disorders like MTHFR, recurrent pregnancy loss, incompetent cervix, and high risk issues in IF patients like incompetent cervix or placent previa. Thanks for your time, Jennifer A. Hi Dr. Lee,
