Dear Dr Wisot I have just had what seems to me to be a very unusual blood result. I have been on 20mg/day progesterone tablets for about 20 days since my last cycle and am doing a back to back cycle. For the last 7 days I have been on E2 priming using 5mg/day pessaries. i had a blood test today and ...

Dear Dr Wisot I want to first thank you for all of your replies to my questions. Getting this ivf to work is just so important. I am really trying not to micro manage! I have been triggering well with 10000 ovidrel and getting all the eggs from follicles but this round it has been suggested I use 15...

Dear Dr Wisot My LH on CD2 was 2.6 and now on CD7 it has gone up to 6. I am only on FSH and so was worried this is now a high LH and could damage the eggs or reduce the chance of pregnancy. Day 7 of my last cycle (which was exactly the same protocol) my LH was 3.1, so I'm not sure why it is 6 on thi...

Dear Dr Wisot Thank you for always replying to my questions. I had a day 21 scan today and only had 4-6 antra follicles counted. Previously I have had day 2 scans for AFC and have had 8-10 but this time I had it done on day 21 and there was less. In all I have read about when to count AF, it says da...

Dear Dr Wisot Thank you for your reply. I do have low AMH but I have found the lower stimulation is giving me better quality eggs, fertilisation rates and embryos. On 200 FSH I got 4 mature eggs and E2 reached 2300. I am banking embryos for PGD reasons. I am keen to get enough embryos in the batch a...

Dear Dr Wisot

In your experience does doing back to back cycles with low stimulation (200FSH) with E2 reaching roughly about 2300, affect response or egg quality for the second cycle?

Thank you

Dear Dr Wisot

Thank you for your reply.

We have done day 3 biopsy for PGD and intend to do frozen transfer. Do you think we have ruined the chance of these embryos implanting?

Dear Dr Wisot I have just read a paper that suggests biopsy of Day 3 embryos can damage them leading to a significantly reduced implantation rate. As there was only one paper I could find on this topic I questioned its validity and wanted to ask what your experience is in practice? What would be the...

Hi Again

Just wondering if anyone had an experience in this area about Estrogen priming dose and if it had effect?

Would 4mg per day be much different to 2mg per day? Is 4mg too much, is 2mg a more realistic dose?

Hello

If you are doing a Lupron low dose long protocol, how much E2 is required during priming to have an effect to sensitise the follicles to FSH to overcome the suppressing effect of the lupron?
