Don’t Make These Mistakes: What I Wish I Knew BEFORE IVF 😳 - Dr Lora Shahine

[@kathyg4031]

Very helpful info, thank you! I am on an ivf journey. Staying positive, knowing i will do my part, my amazing doctors will do their part, but only God will give me another baby.

[@aliciaanderson3622]

Such valid points! Emotional bombs are so complicated with secondary infertility. My son just turned two and we have been trying for over a year now for our second baby. I will sometimes look at him and think, thank God you are here. Sometimes though I think, man I really want another perfect little human in our family.

Thank you for watching 😊 and thank you for watching ❤️

😢 38 yrs old in this stupid game for 15 yrs….failed iuis and numerous rounds of femera and natural attempts futile of course. Weve been on a hard break for 2 yrs. I’m finally at a healthy weight and we are financially in a good place so we are going onattempt IVF. Hopefully going for egg retrieval in the next couple months after myomectomy in October. Then by this time next year hope to transfer. My insurance does cover a good amount of retrievals but covers almost no medication or genetic testing. So this one try may be all we have for now.ugh infertility has ruined me . I do love the freedom my husband and I have had the last 20 yrs we visited Scotland one more time this spring because I’m hoping we can focus on creating our family from this year on out. but I steer clear of people with children friends and family with kids. I just can’t do it. My husband is better and cope much better than me. Once we have a child, I can relate more but it hurts too much. If we are successful with IVF one bundle may be all we can have and I will be forever greatful

[@drlorashahine]

I empathize with your experience. I wish you all the success and luck on your fertility journey. Thank you so much for watching.

Thank you so much for this video!!! "That will be me someday" is exactly what I've been doing lately. I have always used products by Aveeno. I am 100% glad you created this channel. Someone I know, who is my 'buddy system' during this process, is pregnant through IVF so I feel like I am alone on an island again. Wow first IVF baby, amazing! I hope you could do more videos on tips for the transfer. How to get everything down there healthy to transfer. How to keep everything down there healthy after the transfer. Stuff like that. My delay right now is getting the 'perfect' environment for the transfer. I had a bacterial infection that my doctor made it seem like it just shows up and asymptomatic 🤷🏻‍♀️ they couldn't say how to prevent it but that it could come back. For myself I just started taking a probiotic by HUM and drink a cup of pure unsweetened cranberry juice everyday untill my next biopsy.

[@drlorashahine]

I have 3 videos on what to expect and do to prepare for embryo transfer. I have lots of videos here too on how to optimize your reproductive health. Best wishes!!

[@amritagill1680]

So true. Even useful for anyone that is just trying to get pregnant (not on IVF)

[@marylyncabico]

Hi! new to your channel. Im having my Ivf next month. I have haematosalphinx in my fallopian tube. Praying and Hoping for a successful procedure🙏

[@drlorashahine]

Good luck!! Welcome to our family and thank you for watching!

[@l.ashleypalmer]

For cosmetic products, she may be referring to retinols and tretinoin and and hydroquinone and even growth factors. Which aren't necessarily considered toxic like a paraben or phthalate but should be avoided in pregnancy. I've set my retinol and tretinoin aside while doing IVF.

[@katharina1439]

No. You can take retinol TOPICALLY. ONLY IN YOUR SKIN☝🏼 there are tablets to swallow. Those aren't save

[@LaceyLorenz]

I LOVE that necklace! I was thinking of getting one as I embark on my IVF journey, to have a feeling of solidarity with the community and comfort in knowing I'm not alone in this! Do you know if yours is still available? I looked at my local jeweler, and they only have a cartoon-y pineapple. Not my vibe!

[@BriMedley]

Thank you so much for sharing! ❤This was so Helpful and insightful! I will be starting my Ivf journey this September

[@drlorashahine]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️

[@BriMedley]

@@drlorashahine Of course! I love watching your videos! They are so informative and entertaining!🩷 I wish you were my doctor. 👩‍⚕️ It’s always best to be prepared! Especially for something as serious as this.

[@kimv6309]

… I decided to not go to Italy. 😮 - indirectly the IVF meant I couldn’t budget for the trip and with a new job, I couldn’t afford to take days off without enough PTO. On another note, I just ran to my book by Rebecca just to find your name and your review :) I def read and asked my doc about all the things she’s covered. It started my journey to change everything I used from shampoos to face wash to avoiding bpa (I now own all these glass containers and bottles), and receipts (sanitize after every touch).

[@Blitzenandshalisa]

Something to thing about is dental work that stops pregnancy. My cousin couldn't get pregnant until she removed the metal caps out of her mouth to porcelain. I wonder what you think of that?

[@carissaexplainsitall8481]

I have pcos, went carnivore, and have three kids. Two were conceived naturally and one with letrozole

[@malloryshtybel8404]

I had a elective tubal ligation and now regret it and want to start IVF. Are there ever any circumstances when insurance will cover the process? My insurance covers up to $50,000 for Fertility treatment, but I haven't had my consult yet and I'm worried my insurance won't cover any of it.

[@majecusi7278]

Hi doctor Shahine i will undergo ivf next month because my fallopian tube was blocked and i have endometriosis i hope i will have successful ivf and will get pregnant ❤

[@drlorashahine]

Sending you ❤️🤞🍍 (love, luck, and pineapples- symbol for fertility community- you’ve got this!!!)

[@veronicas446]

How did it go hun ?

[@katharina1439]

If your anti Müller hormone is really low. Do fasting☝🏼 juice fast with minerals and vitamins. I measured mine twice and the one time i was not eating for 8 days was 0.5 points better than the other where i just ate everything. I'm around 4 points so it doesn't matter if i got 4 and 4,5. But if you are under 1 you should consider it. Seriously.

[@odettestrydom6930]

This was great!! Thank you.❤

[@DaneenFatima609]

my first cycle is start but your video so explaining

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you for watching ❤️

[@Pookie515]

I understand that frequency bias is real...however 8 of my co-workers got pregnant at the start of the pandemic and management had to go on a hiring spree. So all that wasn't on me lol

[@OksanaK-f9l]

Thank you for sharing!

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you for watching!

[@erinasyaiful7767]

Hi Dr Shahine, I have gone through 1st attempt on IVF, but during the harvest on the egg, my specialist Dr found out that all my egg is empty. Now i am waiting for my September cycle for another attempt. Any tips for me. Currently I am taking Omega-3, DHEA, Vitamin D3 (1000IU) and Fortelle. Appreciate your kind advice.

[@erinasyaiful7767]

My Anti-Mullerian Hormone blood test result on 2022 is 10.2 pmol/L but suddenly this year drop to 2.61 pmol/L. I am 39 years old.

[@youtubevideos7851]

But 10.2 seems like you have Pcos or some other condition etc?

[@youtubevideos7851]

I am thankful so far that seeing others with their babies doesn't affect me negatively. Hope it can stay this way. 🙏

[@zarinamalik4773]

Thanks its quiet informative. Can one travel in a week of transfer in flight 5 hours journey

[@katharina1439]

I got an emf period fabric... there is clothing that protects you from wo wireless radiation.i wore t-shirts. And layer a kind of scarf around my bigger belly. In the air at this wore the sin has radiation. I'm not saying it is deiner harmful, but I didn't want the risk. Also in a car - with 3 smartphones in a Faraday cage. Etc

[@AP-bu3vu]

I am thankful for your channel and sharing important information. Would you be able to share pregnancy friendly products, like facial moisturizer, shampoo, conditional, make-up products? Thank you.

[@drlorashahine]

This is a great suggestion! Thank you for watching!

[@isaakpleshtiyev4174]

Hi doctor ! I am 25 with all normal blood work and normal test results and had 2 ivf with low hcg and eventually had miscarriage and had one week ago another transfer which was negative results. I don’t know what to do ? What would be your suggestion. Please advise . Thank you

[@mairarahmani6458]

Gosh, I wish you were my actual doctor. You have no idea how horrible most womens experience is with fertility clinics 😢

[@drlorashahine]

I do my best to make sure my all patients are well taken care of.

[@sarahch1056]

Hey whst can i do to preper for ivf so i dont get OHSS?. I have bee troue ivf 2 times. The 2 time i got OHSS

[@izzybroussard8495]

Hi Dr. I am 38 years old. I just went to my fertility a few months ago after that they found that I have a fibroid in my uterus so my Dr. Told me to remove that I went to surgery a couple of days later, and after I healed I will go back to my fertility Dr. To start IVF, but I worried a little bit if how many % chances to get pregnant at my Age?

[@OmaJim]

My prayers are with you... I hope it was successful

[@kathyg4031]

You are still young...stay encouraged. I had my son at 41 naturally. I am now on an ivf journey for my 2nd one.

[@halimaahmadu6109]

Please I started my injection but still I am bleeding. Is there any problem please

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you for watching ❤ ️ I'd advise you to ask your medical provider for answers to your personal situation, as I can't give personal medical advice on social media. I hope my content on my website drlorashahine.com can help - there you can find links to my books at amazon.com, KZbin channel, Baby or Bust Fertility podcast, blog, Instagram, Tiktok and more! Best wishes ❤️🤞🍍

[@carinamurillo4419]

For IVF is ICI a good bile?

[@drlorashahine]

Listen to my Baby or Bust Fertility podcast with Angelo Allard - episode 41. He is the head of Seattle Sperm Bank and gives lots of information on choosing donor sperm - including information on the types of vials. Best wishes ❤️🤞🍍

[@Explortheworldnz]

Hi dr,I have pcos and thyroid. We are currently trying 8 years and we have tried with natural treatments and ovulation induction they didn’t work for us and we thinking to start ivf Iam 36 now and my partner 37. Only thing my everything inside perfect and only thing hard to get a correct BMI my BMI 34. Iam going to start ivf with high doses what do you think about that. Please give me a advice thanks.

[@drlorashahine]

I know people can be fertile at different weights. Talk to your doctor about options but focus on healthy choices - not a number on a scale. Check out Stephanie Fein ‘Weight loss for Fertility’ podcast and website for a resource.

[@Explortheworldnz]

@@drlorashahine thank you so much for your reply dr. I will check ❤️❤️

[@binu1455]

Hello doctor .i am 32 years old suffering from vaginismus.we thought of getting pregnant and was doing initial blood work .next week i will be having discussion with my gynaecologist about the finding .i also found that i have less than 5cm cyst in my left ovary .is it harmful or it will go away by own ..also ,do you recommend iui or ivf with vaginismus.

[@emileehungerford8289]

I have vaginismus and just had my first appointment with my fertility appointment the dr recommended that I don’t do iui and go straight to ivf as iui will be to painful for me Due to having to put the speculum in a lot more that with ivf which I think is good It’s a lot of money but it will be worth it when I have a baby

[@Thuggafanatic]

My friend just committed suicidal from infertility. Smh . What’s a girl without a working womb
