Tips to Be Ready for and Maximize Your First Appointment With A Fertility Doctor | Dr Lora Shahine

[@MeredithLobsinger]

Watching this makes me equally feel so empowered and excited, but also totally dissapointed by the care of my clinic. After my second miscarriage, the doctor hoped on the telehealth call and screams "so you wanna have a baby huh?" then proceeded to fast talk me through the process until i started crying...which went unobserved. It would be so nice if it felt like a team effort and there was actual care. I'll study your videos, be empowered and educated and take charge of my care. Thank you for being my guide :)

@@drlorashahine Hi, 56yr old white male, height/weight proportionate. My Thyroid Panel shows that my TSH, T4, & FREE T4 Index, are all mid-range, but my T3 UPTAKE is high at 37 (range = 22-35). Ive never had a low or high marker on any bloodwork, for any parameter, Ive ever had. What does the high T3 UPTAKE mean, what can be causing it, and how can I rectify it? Thanks

So I had a tubal reversal that didn’t work and they advise me to do ivf and only option I have , I don’t have any trouble conceiving and I have had two children prior and my husband sperm test from a few months prior is good do you think they will just start the process quicker ?

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you for reaching out! It sounds like you have several important questions. I would love to help, but it's best to see someone near you since fertility care is typically ongoing and may require multiple visits. Please ask your medical provider so they can give you the personal medical advice you need. Best wishes!!!! ❤🤞🍍

Can possible the azospermia treatment

[@brittanymullins6693]

How long should it be before you start? I've had 3 baselines labs. And they still won't let me start. I'm starting to feel taken advantage of.

[@drlorashahine]

Not sure about your situation- it is good to review a plan with your doctor maybe the clinic is waiting to make sure they have the right plan for you❤️

Thank you so much for watching! I would advise you to consult your medical provider, as I can't give medical advice to personal situations on social media. I have a lot of content on the subject on this channel, website drlorashahine.com, KZbin and Instagram account @drlorashahine that are great sources for you
